'97 leg 2.5 just had hg done, after driving and idling temp goes up a bit over 1/2 from a bit below 1/2 when i speed up the idle it drops back down, also some gurgling from heater core also seems like its not pressurizing, holding coolant though, is that normal for cold weather? as i said, it is holding coolant, no bubbles in overflow, thnx for the input

How well was the coolant bled after the hg swap? 

pretty well,ran till fans kicked on dunno what else to do at this point and like i said doesnt seem to be leaking any coolant

bump, are these symptoms normal?

sounds like you have air in the system still.

thnx

How much coolant did you add? 

 

Bleeding until the fans come on shouldn't be good enough. 

 

Nose inclined, heat on full blast, car idling keep adding ad nauseam. 

Gurgling means there is still air in the system.

Did you fill the block through the upper radiator hose?

If you just fill the radiator the block will air-lock and will not fill. The system should hold at least 1.5 gallons. Any less than that goes in, the system has air in it.

thnx guys think i have it full now (i hope)
