cooling system is plugged somewhere.. have it flushed out and see what happens again. If the same results happen, a head gasket can be the problem or clogged radiator
my car is a 2002 saturn sl1 i was woundering if you can help me with my car when i drive on the freeway up hills my car goes from fast to slow so i have to shift from 5th gear to 2nd or 3rd gear and i have to go like 40 mph on a 65 mph speed limit all the way home how do i fix that problem
Then the new gasket was not done properly or was not the only issue to begin with. A crack in the head or block can mix the oil and coolant together as well.
A coolant leak usually means a bad head gasket. About the high revving, take off the throttle body and clean it. Also, take out the idle air control and clean only the tip and clean the idle air passage with a test tube brush. Before you remove the throttle body, buy a new gasket.
The water isn't boiling, you apparently have a combustion leak into your cooling system. What you are seeing are compression bubbles. Possible cracked head or another head gasket. Sorry.
Check the cam/crank sensors. Also, if the car happens to have a distributor, make sure it is not 180 degrees off. If this does not help, then do a compression check. Remember, and engine only needs three things to run. Fuel, Spark, and Compression. (in order of course.) The firing order for your engine is 1,4,3,2.
