Question

Answer
Andrew,

You could have a plugged up radiator or the water pump impeller is spinning free on the water pump shaft.  Remove the radiator and check for blockage and if it is clear remove the water pump and do the same.  It is just a matter of getting the garden hose and backflushing to see if there is a blockage or if the pump is defective.
