I'm having the same problem, I think exhaust gases are getting in the cooling system in mine. You need to take your vehicle to a radiator repair shop or a mechanic, and have them test your cooling system for exhaust gases. They use a chemical that changes color if there's a problem. Good luck. Hector 1990 Carat 'Ursula'
