Engine Cooling problem
2004 Chevy Impala Automatic 48,245 miles

just flush radiator and now the car is overheating. I did this twice in two weeks. the first time I use regular anti freeze cause I was not aware of the the special coolant need for this car. so I redid flush using the right coolant and car is still overheating. What can I do about this problem.

You need to open the coolant bleeder screws while your filling it up to get all the air out of the system.

while it's cold. Open the bleeder screws and fill until coolant comes out of the bleeders. Then close them and start it up. Let it run for a few minutes, until hot, let it cool again, then top of the coolant level.
