My car has been over heating and going through coolant/antifreeze like no other. So we fixed the thermostat and it is still over heating and is now spitting the water out upon removal of the cap. I do not know what to do.

have your coolant system pressure checked for leaks it will show either external or internal if internal. It may be head gasket.
