hello all i have a big issue my Subaru legacy ej25d coolant heat rises drastically but it will idle forever at normal temperature 160ish and once i go anywhere like around the block the coolant goes up 234 on the scan tool i replaced the water pump and the thermostat the head gaskets were replaced at 201791 miles and currently i think i have 202ooo i think i put 200ish miles on the car since i rebuilt the engine im running just water through the cooling system and i havent had a problem i was going to flush it and put coolant in but then this came up the original scenario was 180ish miles after rebuild i went shopping with my mother "to test the practicality of my everlasting Subaru" and i went probably 17 miles overall then on the road it died at a traffic light i turned my music off right before and i thought i heard a tick tick tick at the light before i said that doesnt sound good i looked at the gauge it read right below half it looked fine i saw the rpms were wicked low then it died i didnt know why after a police officer pushed me out of the road i went and looked the radiator cap wasnt on i wAS pissed and i called my father to bring coolant and a cap bought a new one cuz we didnt have a perfect fit
HERES THE KICKER
new head gaskets
camseals
timing belt
water pump
thermostat
radiator was just flushed when the engine was apart it had stop leak in the sleeves scraped and blew that out
entire system doesnt have a leak pressure tested it hoses are clear
the top hose is warm and the hose after the pump an thermostat is cold most of the time both tank on the radiator are about the same temp
bleed screw doesnt leak but when unscrewed does leak steam after a few turns
radiator cap was cold after reaching temps of 230s
coolant resvoir was almost completely full
my fater (mechanic of 40+ years ) and i (soon to be mechanic) are stumped on this all parts work fine thermostat opens in hot water and the impeller on the pump doesn't spin when car is off(its attached to the timing belt so it wont move)
PLEASE HELP IM FURIOUS AT THIS CAR I CANT FIGURE THIS OVER HEAT ISSUE OUT
