Default Re: block coolant drain

If the guage stays low, then shoots up, it usually means that the radiator is low, or there is an air pocket. One thing you might check is for a blown head gasket too..there's a dye you can get that tells you if there are combustion gasses in the radiator.
Does it cool off when you drive, or does it stay the same?
