I changed out my coolant and my car overheated after about 15 mintues of driving, then i recall reading about leaving air in the system. Will this cause your car to overheat?

yes. very much so. bleed the air from your system when it cools back down.

X2 good advice fill as needed with the radiator cap off and the motor cool, run it until the thermostat hits operating temp. It will open allowing the coolant to run through and get rid of any air pockets that may be in there GOOD luck P.s. when done don't forget to put the radiator cap back on lol

 

Now since my car did overheat for about 1/2 a minute to a minute before i was able to pull along side the road and let it cool, do you guy's think it caused any major internal engine damage?????

 

no your motor is a honda motor man you will be just fine. that short period of a time things will be just fine. i had a civic that lost all coolant and i had to drive 10mins till i could get off the freeway and it was just fine

 

dont forget to turn the hot/cold lever to full HOT as air can get trapped in heater core.
