ok im about done with this car. i done every thing i can to get this car to stop over heating the only thing i have not done is change the head gasket and the water pump. I drove my car today and it was fine didnt over heat or any thing and i was cursen at 95 mph. but then a few hours later i went to go for a ride it over heated. now when the temp gague started to beep the air bad light cam on for some reason. when i turn my car off u can hear bumbling in the resivor. i dont no what to do. any suggestions? thanks.

do a compression test to rule out (or confirm) headgasket failure.

Bubling in the radiator, Well unless your system has an air pocket you got a bad head gasket.

Bubbling in the reservoir is a faulty rad cap 99% of the time. And with the faulty rad cap comes an air pocket most of the time. Leave it long enough, you'll blow a head gasket...
Replace the rad cap and top off the system (leave the cap off, run the car, refill as needed until the fans come on).
