...starts.the radiator hose fill? up and i have to loosen it to release the pressure when doing so the hose spits out a shooting smoke which also cause anti freeze to leak out.i just changed the radiator.also while im driving i noticed the gas light light up and the gas needle bounced down then back up when i had a full tank t,this happened twice,it happens when the car over heats
 
Possibly you have a "blown head gasket", if you overheat so much that the head may warp, and the head gasket breaks the seal and then water leaks into the engine combustion chambers and it don't run right and will overheat driving just a few minutes and you need to keep stopping and filling it with water and drive a little further.

This is expensive problem to fix, if that is what it is it means an engine rebuild, something like $1500 ballpark to rebuild it.
