lol okay so basically, I think you have a problem with your car overheating correct? If so make sure you have enough coolant, also check out your lines, see if anything is leaking etc.

Re: Honda Civic 2001 ( D17 Engine..

wow your grammar is fantastic lol, first i want to point off a few wrongs, after 7-10 hours of driving why would you open up your radiator cap? What do you mean by your engine got off ? After that there is a single bubble coming from the Radiator? Should definitely fill with coolant, but it sounds like you may have a blown head-gasket.

Re: Honda Civic 2001 ( D17 Engine..

So.... what's the problem? The coolant bursting out?

If your car has been running for that long, that shouldn't be surprising. The radiator builds pressure to maintain the temperature from being too hot. It burst out like that because the engine is extremely hot and all that heat/pressure escaped from the rad, causing it to burst "like a pepsi can".

If you think that's a problem, I wouldn't worry about it. Unless your problem is something different...
