    just to clarify when I said "it stopped", I meant the stuttering stopped, and the car ran smoothly again, but I still wasn't getting hot air and I had to stop a couple of times when the temp gauge when past half-way

    just started it up again...stuttered for a bit like a vacuum leak then revved high on its own and smoothed out for the most part. Still no hot air. Inlet hose is cold, bottom radiator hose is cold, top hose is hot. Maybe bleed it again since it was running with the hose off?

    Id try to bleed it again.

    Check all vacuum lines for rips or breaks and see what you can find.

    Try cleaning the throttle body and MAF aswell, those could cause the small bog, then it rights itself.

    Ok everything is running alright...still getting stuttering like there is a vacuum leak or something going on with the fuel system but it only seems to be happen within 5 minutes of starting, after warming up, I don't notice anything. It can get very close to stalling but won't stall no matter what I do. But the cooling system is working so i'm happy about that.
