Geo Spits Up Coolant

Q. I have a 1996 Geo Metro 4 cylinder automatic with air. I have changed the water pump on it also the thermostat, but now as I start the car the water is coming up through the top of the radiator. I'd like to know what is the next step to solve this problem.

A. It sounds to me like you have the thermostat in backwards. I suggest taking it out and starting the car without it just to confirm that.
