    i think to bleed it on an EF there is a bleeder screw on the front of the engine where the upper radiator hose connects at the head, your supposed to open it when you add coolant, have you changed that lately or anything like that? you open it while filling and i know on newer ones you have to "burp"the system. i'm not sure if this can be open while it's running but it would get the air out. the screw is right in front of the dizzy housing and i think on eg's there is also a bleeder screw too!!! i may also have a working IACV too, i have a spare manifold and throttle body for and ef, but mine is DPFI!!!!

    i changed the anti-freeze when i first bought the car but all i did was drain out the old one and put in the new one.

    yes if the car sees that its running hot or on the higher side of warm. when it reaches a certain temp the fans will come on. if the fans are coming on quick like not after your long drive. then i would have to suggest that you have a air pocket near the temp sensor causing the slightly higher than normal reading to the ECU. which in turn is turning on the fan earlier than normal.

    when was this. how long ago. and about how many miles....

    please make sure your coolant overflow tank is filled up and NOT anywhere close to empty. and the lines are clean to it. when was the last time your rad cap was looked at. fairly new?

    how the rad cap. there is only a few places air gets into your systemm.and what way it is. i needs to be fixed. air just doesnt appear in your coolant system. i dont care how hot you get it. if it boils over when it cools it will turn back to liquid. but it if doesnt that means you have a leak somewhere. and needs to be addressed. head gaskets. hoses. and heater core and thermostate housing are the most common areas. look for leaks maybe and burp the system. if the hoses feel soft when the car is warmed up.
