coolant boiling after turning off car
Sorry if this has been discussed I searched for a bit and couldn't find any similar experiences. so mostly stock 99 NB Miata, headed into the mountains to visit a buddy, 20 ish minute mountain drive, where I was driving moderately, not redlining it third or fourth gear the whole way up stuck behind some tourist at 35 -45 mph. parked the car and killed it, got out talked for 3-5 minutes, then walked back to my car to get something and noticed I could hear boiling from under the hood, from the coolant overflow tank. It wasn't over heating temp gauge was in the green(i know it doesn't mean much on nb's). Car doesn't eat coolant and the levels in the radiator and the tank are about where they should be. any one have any thoughts? The only thought that I jumped to was maybe I should do a coolant reroute, but i can't see how that would help in this situation. thanks in advance

Sorry to revive this but I had this issue, knew it wasn't overheating but still boiled only after I turned the car off.
The coolant hoses to my EFR have a lower and upper one, lower for the "feed" And upper for the "drain." Most water line threads say "doesn't matter which is which" But my EFR seemed particular. I swapped them around to what would match the normal flow of coolant, and it stopped the boiling issue.
