Can anyone give some tips on how to troubleshoot a stuck thermostat. I have tried to bleed the system 3 times but still overheats. I'll go from cheapest to more expensive starting with the fan switch, then thermostat, finally water pump (crossing fingers). Also i have noticed that around 13 mins. of idling right before it sounds like the coolant resevoir is boiling i hear a clicking sound. Couldn't get too close to the engine because of all the coolant spitting out to hear where it is coming from. Also the water pump belt is there and i gave the pulley a tug and it seems to be good.

TIA
