I forgot if you need to turn on the heat or also the your heater fan when purging out the air in your cooling system. My radiator blew up yesterday and I put in a new one. It was getting a little hot once in a while, I thought maybe there was still air in the heater core.

Thanks

I know, I know. Thanks. I just don't remember were it is at and I'm at work and unable to keep using the computer to look around. Maybe someone can tell me where it is? Or some one just knows off the top of there head? Thanks

-Take a jack lift the front slightly.-take radiator cap off-Loosen bleeder screw- Take a 2 liter pepsi bottle cut it in half- Get some black electrical tape and wrap the bottle neck a little flip it around and place the bottle neck were the radiator cap was at.- Have somebody start the car- Turn on the heater- Now start filling it with coolant- Close bleed screw after you get a nice even stream of coolant- Add antifreeze until you over fill the rad by a quart (filled in bottle- Let the engine run until the thermostat opens and sucks in the excess antifreezs, and lets air out- Fill it again but with about a half of quart.- Let it run until no more bubbles come out.replace cap and enjoy
