SOURCE: radiator under too much pressure?
It might of just been a defective hose because if the pressure gets to high, the radiator cap will relieve the pressure when it reaches the pressure stamped on the cap.

Listen TFI module is more than likely the problem change it. TFI module controls spark and timing and fuel. Keep one with you in the car. The module is getting hot and not working right.
SOURCE: Coolant Problems
Hi there. It sounds like you have done the most obvious checks and I can assure you by-passing the heater core will have no effect. There are three possible causes that you need to investigate further and you will need specialist equipment for it - you either have a hair-line crack in the head or cylinder wall or it might be that the head bolts are stretched and therefore weakened and so need replacement. To help you identify these aforementioned possible problems, you might need a specialist fluid that you put into the cooling system which changes colour when combustion chamber pressure enters the cooling system, you need to contact your local Ford Dealer for this - but then you still have the three possible problems to deal with - cracked cylinder wall/s, cracked head or stretched head bolts. Hope this helps, Scottech.

Yes, this is most likely a thermostat problem.
As a basic explanation, the thermostat is the device which separates the hot coolant in the engine block from the cool coolant in your radiator. If it gets stuck closed, your radiator coolant will remain at near room temperature, while the coolant in your block (which is what your gauge reads) does not circulate and will skyrocket in temperature.
Testimonial: "Very helpful. Discription makes sense/logical explanation of symptoms."

90's Cavaliers are notorious for problems such as these.
I hate to be the barrier of bad news, but in this case I would suggest that your engine either has a blown head gasket, and/or a warped head.
There is also the possibility that you blew a "soft plug" or cracked the block and that the coolant is leaking out through the base of the engine.
To find out of you have a blown head gasket, you can remove the oil cap from the valve cover and inspect it. If it has a yellow-brown-ish goo that is the consistency of paint, then you definitely have a blown head gasket and coolant has mixed with your oil. Meaning that you likely need an overhall.
You can also check by removing your radiator cap and checking to see if little tiny bubbles come up while the car is running. That is a sign of a compression leak, meaning that you most likely have a crack somewhere in either the cylinder head or the block.
Also, those cars have many very small radiator hoses that are in the middle of the engine and hard to see, find or replace.
In this instance, it sounds like your car has over heated more than 4 times, and once you get to that point you are likely to have fried the engine. This is because the newer engines are mostly aluminum and can't stand that much heat that often.
I would suggest seeking either a new car, or seeking a used engine to replace in your car. A used engine for those is fairly cheap compared to the price of fixing the problems that are likely to have occurred from excessive over heating.
Stand in front of the car, open the hood, and face the engine.Where is the lower radiator hose 99
On the left hand side of the radiator, at the top, is the upper radiator hose; which goes to the upper water pump connection.
On the right hand side of the radiator, from the bottom, is the lower radiator hose; which goes to the lower water pump connection.
