Just got the car from my cousin.... when I turn it on for about 15-20 minutes to charge up the battery. Suddenly, the temp light goes on.... so I turn off the car, and a loud slurping noise started. All of the coolent was being pushed back into the overflow tank from a pressure build up. I checked to make sure there was enough coolent... there was. I changed the thermostat.... problem continued. I also asked around a I was told that these cars get "air pockets" if that's the case.... how do I drain out the air pocket... and where do I do it? By the way... water pump is fine, plenty of coolent,radiator cap is fine, and the only thing I can think of besides the air pocket (which I don't know how to fix) would be a busted radiator, which I don't think it is, or some kind of clog in the system. Any ideas please? Thanks
