I have a Mazda that won't idle good, and acts like the radiator is plugged. I removed the thermostat, but it still boils water out the top of the radiator. It will run, just not good. If I put the radiator cap back on it, it will stall under a lot of pressure. Is ita plugged radiator?

Hi there,

I would be testing for a head gasket problem, a blocked radiator will cause over heating but not affect the idle of the engine, check for a head problem first.
