Yeah the bleeder valve on the thermo is on the top side. i tried to get the air out of the system but it still went to the red line. i took the top radiator hose and poured coolant down it until it filled up(hopeing to eliminate air in the engine and other coolant lines. then i filled up the reservoir tank and started the car, within 10-15 min i had to shut it off because it got to the red line again. i opened the reservoir and coolant came out from the pressure, but when i put my hand on the tank and touched the coolant in the tank, it was cool. is it possible to have a bad heat sensor??? my fans came on quick too. im at a lose as to what to do now. oh, and its said that a 195 degree thermo is recommended which is what the stores give you unless you ask for a 180 degree thermo, should i switch to a 180 thermo.?
