could it be thermostat sticking?

i would try and bleed the coolant system first. then maybe try a thermostat and bleed again.

ok, well you say there is coolant in there but is it to the "full cold" mark on the reservoir? also, it sounds like you have air in the system which is not circulating the coolant properly. also, how does your coolant look? is it still a nice clear neon orange or is it brownish and gunky? maybe your heater core clogged up!

I really hate this whole overflow tank system. You can't check the level easy since the cap is really hard to take off and you really can't see through the tank. The trick to check the level is to have a light handy and try to get as much light behind the tank and try to shine it through and/or light up the tank, then you can check the level without removing the cap.

hate to burst you bubble but keep an eye on it. its not common that i know of for a car to develope air in the system for no reason at all. you may or may not have some problems coming down the road.
