How do you get air out of cooling system of ford contur 1999 4 cylinder eng.?
Fill it up as much as possible. Turn on the engine and cut the heat on full blast. Let the car get up to normal operating temperature. Rev the engine for a second then let off, then back on and off. Do this a few times then cut off engine. Do this until the heat stays warm constantly. When the heat stays warm, all the air has been removed from the system. If you can't get all the air out after several attemps, pressure test the system to make sure there isn't any leaks. If there is then it is sucking in air from that leak. Hope this helps.

Make sure you fill it up as much as you can, then start the car and let it get warm (normal temp on the gauge), then let it cool and refill. One time should do it unless there is a lot of air in the system.
Disconect the top Radiator hose and crank Eng.Kill eng when water comes out;



I worked on a S-10 that had a rad leak this p.u. had been filled so many times ;It had an Air Lock-The solution above was what I did.
