Alright, I think that I remember being told that it is a pain in the @$$ to burp the cooling system on these cars if you dont do it right. Is there a screw that needs to be pulled out to bleed the air out ? I thought that I saw one on the intake by the coolant temp sensor but I wouldnt make any bets on that.

that one you saw is it!!!just unscrew it and take it out. fill it up and when you see coolant come out of the hole, put the bolt back in and your done, no rocking the car or anything.

Careful when pulling that screw, its easy to strip the head.
