Aloha from hawaii

hey, i bought a 1995 toyata camry about 2 weeks ago. runs solid and sounds great. yesterday it started to over-heat. there are no leaks and no bad sounds. i replaced the thermostat thinking that was the problem. however, that was not the case. one thing that i dont understand is that the coolant overflow tanks bubbles once it reached optimal operating temperature. If i take off the cap to the overflow tank, it stops bubbling. the car only has 99k miles on it so im hoping it is not a head gasket repair. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.

Adam

Try a new radiator cap. If the cap is broken, it cant pressurize the system properly, lowering the boiling point of the coolant.
