I have not done anything to "burp" the coolant system either time...I tore it all apart to put the P2R thermal gasket on yesterday. All I did was fill the radiator itself and the reservoir. No temp problems.

Did you buy premixed coolant or make sure you mixed it properly?

Did you remember to hook up the clip that is under the RBC near the radiator? It is connected to the same bundle as the MAP sensor.

I would say check all of your sensors connections and make sure everything is plugged in right.
I did the same thing as you, started the car and let it idle for 15 minutes while adding coolant as needed until it was completely topped off.

There is an additional wire that comes off of the bundle with the MAP sensor that looks like it could be routed to the radiator fans. I would double-check that connection.

Thanks for all the reply but I did what all u guys have say to do check all connector and sensor all are connect like it should, And I got is 50/50 coolant no need to add water

When you had the radiator cap off was the coolant inside moving around?. Its odd that only one hose is getting hot , maybe thermostat is stuck closed?. They are usually fail safe and get stuck open , but you never know.

Can anyone tell me which one is the coolant fan relay? And could it be a bad relay too? When I turn on a/c both fans work so I'm confuse here
