A bubbling Stratus

[bemiller]

I flushed the radiator in our 95 2.0 Stratus several months ago, I followed the manual step by step and now every time the car is turned off you can hear a bubbling sound in the motor. It's still full of coolant and the car doesn't run any hotter than it did before. Everything else is fine. Just that annoying bubbling. Help appreciated.

Replace the radiator cap!!! Have seen this alot on the 2.0. Test yours and see, it probably is not holding much pressure

Are you losing any oil? The 2.0s are famous for a bad head gasket. "Bubbling" is a common symptom fo the head gasket going away. The most common place for the gasket to leak oil is between #3 and #4 on the back of the block. Us Neon guys are used to this by now... the new steel gasket takes care of the problem however! Is it possible that it was bubbling before you flushed, but you didn't notice the noise?
