You need to purge the cooling system from air pockets. Also the lower radiator hose will run cooler than the top radiator hose. Coolant from the engine flows up and out the top radiator hose into the radiator, and so the coolant cools down in the radiator and flows back into the engine from the lower radiator hose. Here is how to purge the cooling system... www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUpXgAJ1gjU

I have exactly the same problem in my Acura TL 2004 but I replaced the water pump, the thermostat and the radiator cap. Still hi pressure in the sistem, normal temperature ( like 48%), Fans doesn’t start. If I remove the cap the coolant go out slowly. ( no bubbles ) Please help
