    Check for a blown head gasket. That is a common symptom.

    Maybe there's air getting into the system. I know when I changed my coolant on my old Chevy, I had to squeeze the hose 3-4 times with the cap off, I heard a few glugs, and it flowed in. If it's not overheating, you have coolant in the rad, that's good. Did you have the coolant changed recently?

    Try replacing your radiator cap.

    Same thing happened to mine, and initially thought it was the headgasket...it wasn't :)

    I believe 13lbs is the stock cap.

    1. Radiator cap check first. If that does not solve issue
    2. Than pressure check for Headgasket.
