Overheating after rad & thermo replace - Do I need to bleed cooling system?
I replaced the radiator and thermostat in my 92 DX and I'm still having overheating problems. Someone suggested that I try bleeding my cooling system but I'm not sure what is involved here.
I should also note that the fan seems to run fine and I do not seem to get hot air through the vents when the car is overheating. Also, the car only seems to overheat when the car is moving and cools down when I stop and idle for a while. If I just idle it without driving, it doesn't seem to overheat either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

hmm, I'm a little unfamiliar wit hthe first gen engines but I know that when I tap into my coolant neck on my 3rd gen I'm burping the system aftrwards. Air posckets in your cooling system will KILL your motor.
