[QUOTE="At1Maverick, post: 13683262, member: 113740"] So I've been dealing with a cooling system issue the last couple of days. It started out driving to work, I noticed the heater was still blowing cold after driving approx. 15 mins, and next thing noticed was the temp gauge was 3/4 of the way up. pulled over and filled the overflow as it was low from overflowing. When I go to work(work for a shop), I decided to look into the thermostat and sure enough it had fell apart into 2 pieces. So replaced it. Still ran hot so decided to replace the radiator as well. Used a Mityvac kit to fill the system up and bleed the system of air, I actually did this before replacing the radiator, hoping it only needed that, and then again after replacing the rad. The car still would run hot, hooked up a scan tool and it was running around 230+ when it does run hot, the heater blows cold, which tells me there's air in the system, and still spits out coolant out of the overflow when it gets hot. So, is there a specialized method getting the air out of the system on these motors/cars, I've never really had any problems servicing these cars before, but any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
