Don't know what to do anymore
So yesterday I replaced my radiator with an OEM one, (i was having some problems with it obviously.) I did the job completely with the help of a mechanic, burped the system and everything.
So I drive the car about 20 miles and as soon as i pull into a parking spot, my coolant started to "Boil over", there was a large pool of coolant, and the gauge shot up to the red zone.
And i am not sure if my fan is kicking in because i could not hear it, i did not check to see if it was on yet.

Thermostat, coolant bottle, radiator cap, blocked fans... something else is busted still.
My bet would be on inoperative fans. The airflow while driving kept the temp at bay, coming to a stop stopped the airflow and temp shot up.
Did you plug them in? Clean connectors? nothing in the fan blades preventing them from working? Time to start re-checking work.

what did your coolant look like? i had a problem a few years back after i flushed my coolant. the flush must have loosened up some crud and it blocked the brass restrictor in the small coolant line that goes to the top of the bottle
