i just replaced the thermostat in my car. i realized that my block wasnt getting any coolant when it over heated the other day. so i fixed that. but my gauge on my dash still wont work and the car still is getting too hot and i can smell the coolant burning if i drive more than 5 miles.... i need help. does anyone know how to fix this!!!

Make sure the bleed all the air out of the system. Check the head gasket. Along with the head gasket, the water pump could be bad.

how do i bleed the air out? ok ill do that as well. but my thermostat gauge is not working so does that mean a sensor could be bad that controls the thermostat or water pump?

theres a little valve on top of ur engine preety close to the distributor u just need a open wrench and twist it until u see the coolant come out and also check if u have a clogged raidiator try a flsh its cheap maybe that helps it happend to me and i changed thermostat raidiator hoses and new hi speed fan
