One thing, that is common to do on classic Triumph Stags while bleeding is raise up the front of the car as high as you can. This typically forces air into the rad.
today i was driving all day in the city running some errands.on my way home it started to get hot.when i parked the car and shut it off i heard a bubbling sound.i opened the hood and saw that the resavoir tank was full to the top.also i found a big stream of coolant under the car as if it was forcefully coming out of the top of the reservoir(where the lid closes).wat could this mean?

Man.. sounds like head gasket. That's what mine was doing. Doesn't the honda motor send the pressure through the radiator when the gasket starts to go? Man.. I'd take the car to the radiator guy in your neighborhood. In West L.A. they charge abou $20-30 to bleed your system and tell you what's up.
im gonna have to do that.also im gonna have to make time to change the head gasket myself.this sucks.just bought the car about a month ago.
Head gasket is WORST case scenario. I keep saying head gasket because I just went through it. I'd take the car to the radiator guy first. PLEASE do that first. $20-$30 is WAY cheaper to have a correct diagnosis. From your symptoms, it could be a number of things that we've all suggested, that could be wrong with your car.
