Default Flushing Coolant in a 98 Explorer. The Coolant wont cycle.

I emptied the system and filled the res, but the resivour wont dump into the rest of the system.

Even turned the car on and it did nothing.


Help?

Default You have to "burp" the system.

There is trapped air in the system. Take the cap off the tank, and start squeezing hoses.
