So 2 weeks ago I decided to change the Idle Cotrol Valve on My 2003.5 mazdaspeed protg. Next day drove the car about 130 miles on the highway, seem really fine. The next morning I drove it around the town it was overheating at every stoplight! over half of where the temperature its suppose to be at! Before I changed the ICV I had no overheating problems what so ever. People have told me that I have air in the system, I flushed the radiator fluid and poured in new fluid. I decided too change the thermostat because it came to mind that maybe it was stuck in the close position, turned the car on with the heater on full blast. Overheated again, the fans turned on way way to late!! I took off the cap off the radiator and turned the car on, The fluid is suppose to disappear when the car starts to warm up but it doesn't. The fluid start overflowing and goes to the overflow container?! That's not right! Ive been squeezing the radiator hoses with the radiator cap off and a couple air bubbles do come out but I was at it for 1 hour and it was not stop so idk if it has a lot of air in the system or im doing something wrong?
Please help me !!!!
