Hi!
Would you please explain how you "burp the system"? I think I did it accidentally when my 86 was over-heating and I released steam through the top bleeder valve (suddenly sensors seemed to work again and the car ran more smoothly!). I'm having problems getting it to idle at all now after a rebuild. I suspect some sensors (vacuum or temp) may be at fault and perhaps the water is not circulating to them. The fan comes on inappropriately, too (like upon start-up, before it's even begun to warm-up).
Thanks for any suggestions!
