when the car is at normal op-temp the hoses just feel like high pressure air is in them.How do I check the radiator for any cloggs?

You need to make sure that you have removed all the air from the system by bleeding it. I just start the car and pour the coolant in with it running. Do this until the coolant will no longer drop in the radiator. If this doesnt help start looking for engine oil in the radiator or coolant in the oil, it could be a blown head gasket.

Sounds like you have air in the cooling system.



If you don't have a bleeder valve for the cooling system, just remove the radiator cap, start the car and keep refilling the coolant, you should see the water circulating, if not, the thermostat is in backwards.
