car running hot 1999 ss camaro I recently removed the thermostat completely from the car. The problem im having is the water doesnt flow from the motor back into the radiator through the hose at the top of the radiator. Also what is the best coolant to put in the car and does this car have two thermostat or just one.

removing the thermostat may not be a good idea - most engines need some back pressure and the thermostat provides it. I assume you have a LS1 - only one thermostat.

do not remove the themostat that is a bad idea well if your haviing cooling problems of water returning back to the radiator it is your water pump but if you have a lot of pressure in the top coolent hose it is a clogged radiator it depends some cars normaly hav high presssure in the top cooling hose
