Did you bleed the system? 94

Yes sounds like air in the system, make sure engine is very cool or cold, open radiator cap, start engine, put heat to full blast, and watch the radiator cap for air bubbles, use a funnel with a rag wraped around it and if its low in fluid top it off and watch untill the bubbles stop coming out and the hoses are hot and fans turn on with temp gauge at op temp the system should be bled.

also make sure to fill your radiator overflow bottle to the marked level
