When you bleed the coolant lines of air, what is the correct procedure?
I seem to remember a friend of mine said you start the car, then you fill the radiator up with the cap off, and let it run for a while, and watch for bubbles. I changed my radiator hoses today, and I think I've got air in my lines, because all of a sudden I have this loping idle problem, 1k to 2k rpms whenever the car is warm and in neutral.
Is that the correct procedure or do I have to do something different?

Make sure the climate control is set all the way hot and have the fan blowing at max.

Definatly possible. With the car cold, take off the radiator cap. Top off with fluid and start the car. Continue to top off *** needed until the radiator fan kicks on at least once. (Both upper and lower hose should be hot now) Put cap on.
Thats it!
