It helps to identify the vehicle, but a bad thermal radiator fan clutch is a
likely culprit. On some types of vehicle, it would be an electric radiator fan that is the problem.

Possibilty of too much water in the mix. Get an antifreeze tester at
the local autoparts store, and check your mixture. Also, how old is the coolant?

Re: Coolant boiling after car stop
It is bolted to the engine-driven fan, behind the radiator. Besides causing
problems like this, its main function is to delay fan operation until the engine reaches operating temperature. Some (maybe a lot of) manual dexterity is required to replace it. If you have an additional, electric, radiator fan, the control circuitry for that may have problems too.

Does it have the V8 or the inline 6? My 93 has the I6 and it only has the

Re: Coolant boiling after car stop
It is behind the mechanical fan. To test it, heat up the engine fully
and have someone shut it off while you watch the fan. If the fan keeps on spinning, the clutch is dead. A good fan clutch will stop a hot fan almost instantly.
