So, it seems to be getting better each time I bleed it, but it still doesn't like to be idle at a stop light, or going over 50, even in 6th low rpms. Casual town driving 35mph it seems to be doing fine though, about half temp on the gauge. The hottest it gets now is just under 3/4 on the gauge, still not comfortable with that. I'm hoping it's just a really pesky airbubble. I've jacked up the car, both sides at different times, squeezed the radiator hoses. Used the air bleed valve, revved the engine while bleeding, heater on etc...

When you driving turn the heater in car on full with fan running for heater on full. Does it blow rearly hot air when car is hot, if not the coolant is not circulating, check for blocked radiator or hoses or the thermostat is in backwards. you have already replaced pump.

The front and lower radiator hoses are both hot when the car is up to running temp.. the heater doesn't blow really hot air but it's hot, the thermostat isn't in backwards, the jiggle pin is facing to the back of the car
