it is air in the cooling system, believe me,it's hard to get the air out but I'am almost sure that it is the problem.<p>[ May 06, 2003: Message edited by: leiden ]</p>

If it had anything to do with the head gasket your car would run bad all the time not just some times. If its your water pump you would be losing some amount of coolant everyday and the car would overheat all the time. You should put the thermostat back in. if you want drill some holes in it,(2-4 @ 1/8"). without it the ecu thinks the car is not up to operating temp. you could be running in limp home mode. try resetting the ecu after putting the thermostat back in. Oh and make sure there is no air in the cooling system.
