This is not making any sense. When you replaced the cap, was it the same color? Green? They are color coded for the amount of pressure allowed. If the pressure gets too high, the cap is supposed to release it.

If the thermostat is closed, the radiator would never get hot and the bottle would also not get hot, and your engine would be cooked by now.

A new cap is cheap, try one.
