Ok, so I just fixed a leak in my radiator, and on one of the hoses. Now, when my car hasn't been running for a while and gets cold, when I start to drive it, it overheats, almost all the way, 5 minutes or so after I'm on the road. Then it goes down to normal about 2 minutes after that. Could it be my thermostat not opening up ? But I just installed a new one..so idk maybe the fuel pump ?

you prob have air in your system

Getting all the air out of your cooling system could take several attempts. I personally had to do it like 3 times. So keep bleeding your cooling system. After you replace anything in your cooling system you have to bleed the thing completely.

How are you bleeding your cooling system?
