Re: Freezing and Overheating... fun!

I've had that happen before, it sounds like you have a large air pocket in your system, you definately need to purge your cooling system of the air. You have two small valves to do this, one above the water pump and another above your thermostat... Open them and wait untill you get a steady powerful stream of coolant coming out of each one bofore closing them... Drive the car around ofr a bit and repeat. Keep checking it and you will eventually get the air out of the system. Hopefully that's your only problem and you dont have some sort of internal damage sucking air into your coolant. Definately check all yor fluids to see if they are being mixed also, and smell your exhaust to see if it smells funny.
