    Radiator externally plugged with debris?

    Is it blowing coolant out? Have you checked for combustion gases in the coolant?

    Others may respond that are more familiar with this engine. Most likely head gasket leaking compression into cooling system.

    Bypass the compressor from the cooling system and bottle test to see if the bubbles are still present.
