I made sure the thermostat was out when I was flushing the system. I've opened up the bleeder screw and nothing but air and the system won't bleed and the radiator still has all the water in it. Plus when I start the car now, it dies on the first try. So, I'm going to attempt to drive it about 1 mile down the street to get a flush and fill done and I HOPE that's all I need done. I don't want to pull the bottom radiator hose and have it go everywhere, which is why I liked Scotty's method but it didn't work on my car and now it's all messed up. The mechanic up the street said he would install a new thermostat and do a flush and fill for $120 or if I bought my own thermostat and installed it, he would just do a flush and fill for $60. So, I'm hoping that my bill will only be $60. And, I'm hoping the car will make it one mile without overheating.
