Default Temp Problem

Ok, my temp was getting a bit higher than usual and my coolant level was fine, and both fans were kickin in, when i went to open the coolant tank after driving, it sprayed out the back of the tank and was way overflowed. I think there might be somethiin clogging the transfer back into the radiator and the rest of the system cuz it felt like there was air in the hoses leadign to the tank, could this overheating be caused by a bad cap not holding pressure or do you think its a hose or do i possibly need a new radiator? any ideas would be helpful, i dont think its my thermostat

Most likely it your thermostat not opening and allowing full flow of coolant.

doesn't sound like you have a problem to be honest, of course it will overflow when you remove the cap from the overflow/header tank ( its under pressure ) "and should not be done" while the engine is hot unless your heat proof.

a good working system = fans cut in which relieves the pressure/ heat comes in the cabin/ no boiling sounds from the cooling system

there are boiling sounds in the radiator, and the temp has been goin up, could this be busted radiator, or cap not holding pressure enough to stop boiling?
