when you put the new hose on you got air in the system...start it..run it to operating temp...then open the bleeder screw by the thermo housing...let it bleed it until solid coolant comes out..close it up..you'll be good to go

You just have air in it. If you don't do it right from the beginning, the air can be hard to purge.

Hey:
As stated before you have to bleed all the air out, not just some or a little, all.
This may take some time and multiple bleeds to get it all out.
follow shbox's directions till only coolant comes out and no air, remembering to
keep rags away fom the belt but protecting the opti below the water pump.
