What car are you working on? Why doesn't matter how much water comes out of what inlet? When flushing the radiator, open the bottom inlet and open the radiator cap and give it good ten minutes. Good luck.

On the PT cruiser also check between the radiator and the A/C condensor for debris such as leaves etc. They are famous for collecting debris causing them to over heat. You may have to pull the radiator to do this.

I tried back flushing from the bottom inlet and the water flows quite freely but flushing from the upper one it is quite slow and I get a spray back

Apparently my husband hit a rock when driving our car up the mountain to put it in the garage to get it out of the hail. Car seemed fine, drove it into town and back no problems. On the 4th we drove up the canyon to meet our son. On the way the car overheated badly. On arrival there was a deluge of water and antifreeze coming by the hose. After that the gauge said we did not need to add water but you would have to be an idiot to believe that. We added cool water from the river slowly, let the car cool and then started home. Long story short we got home, the radiator problem seems to be handled, but if we turn the wheel to take a curve or turn around the car dies. Power steering problem perhaps? Or???? 2 Answers
