1995 with a 3.8 and 5 speed.
I start this car when it's cold out and drive around and the temp gauge will start to move, but the heater still blows cold air. Then, the gauge will climb rapidly to about 3/4 to the hot side, then fall rapidly to almost cold and remain there. At the moment the gauge begins to fall is when the heater starts to work, and it blows hot air.
Could this be my problem? --> I recently drained some coolant from the radiator and replaced it with fresh anti-freeze. I took a bolt out of the top of the engine that had a tag on it saying to remove it. I then filled up the radiator and put the bolt back in. I really don't have a clue what I'm doing.
What is the proper way to bleed the air from the system? Do I have other problems?
