my temp guage reads hot when the engine is cool enough to touch. It starts at cool than works up to hot. People told me to take the radiator cap off and try to get rid of air. when i did that coolant shot out of the radiator cap. when i stop the car the coolant in the reservoir was gurgling. when i pinched the little hose that goes from the reservoir to the radiator cap the gurgling stoped. i recently replaced my thermostat. i dont know very much about this subject so i dont know if this is normal.
