Why is my coolant coming out of my exspansion tank?
What is your question?
Well I put coolant in it and crank it up. Then like 8 minutes later coolant starts coming out the exspansion tank. I tried running the car with and without the thermostat and tried straight coolant then straight water but it still overflows and starts to run hot. Can someone help me out with this?

I would suspect a defective head gasket, 8 minutes is not long enough to over heat the engine.

Ok but I got a kit thats checks if pressure is coming out of the head gasket and its not that. The thing is as the coolant starts circulating it does fine until it comes back to my exspansion tank then that when it starts backing up coolant. Im thinking mabe my radiator is clogged, because the car did stay park under the porch for almost a year. when i flush it out it had a rust color to it and lil pices of debri coming out.
