Yes, it needs to be completely burped. Also make sure the system is
holding good pressure. Inspect / replace the radiator cap as necessary.

One thing you can do to simplify the cooling system is to bypass the
lines feeding the throttle body. I was able to take the hose feeding it
and route it directly to where the exit hose was going. Simple to do,
might help with any air bubbles stuck in the system, and maybe a bit of
a performance gain to boot...

Car had been serviced and sender/pump replaced in recent history....got
a
tip that air must still be in the system (I was not aware SHO coolant
system
had so many ups/downs in system)...I got more air out and its
better....now
not going over the line......I beleive there is still air in the system
and
am attempting to work it out now.

The temp guage responds rather quickly...as in when I am cruising on
the
highway now, its rock stable running cool in-between R/M of NORMAL but
in
traffic the guage tends to gain/lower faster than it probably should,
temp
goes up to N maybe a tad higher, then drops and so forth....I am
suspecting
more air in the system.

I am now pretty much stuck having to replace the MTX coolant reservoir
with
a MTX one I am told...or an aftermarket bottle.....any experiences with
this
appreciated.

any thoughts appreciated.
