i own a repair shop,and its air locked on you,you need to drain some of it back out,and also you need to make sure the thermostat is in right,but drain some out of it,and then fill it and squeeze on the bottom hose to get the air out of it,once you get the radiator full ,fill up the reservoir on it,and start it,turn the heater on full blast and let it run till it starts taking coolant from the reservoir on it,and don't re-open the radiator cap on it,just add to the bottle on it when it needs it,it will burp and take the air pocket out of it,good luck,i hope this help,s.

first lets check for blown head gasket fill radiator to where it over flows now start car with radiatorcap off does it bubble or does water gush out you got a bad head gasket sorry if no look for a small screw in or neer the thurmostat take this out as it will let the air blead out if it doesnt have one pull the thurmostat back out and fill the radiator untill it just starts leaking from where the thurmostat goes i will sometimes drill a 1/8 hole in the flat part of the thurmostat if it doesnt all ready have one to let the air out put it back togeather and top off you should be ok now
