do you have to prime a water pump? i totally drained my car, but now that i have filled it back up and such, the water pump refuses to pump water over the top back in to the radiator. eh?

No you probably have an air bubble. I would jack the front of the car up and pull the rad cap off. Usually the air bubble will pop out the cap (the air rises to the top). Air will not open a t-stat, only water hitting the bi-metal.

Hope this helps, if not let us know and we try something else.

~150 degrees should be plenty right?
