stuck thermostat?

just rethought, that, don't think that could be it if you are able to bleed it once. So to clarify when you are at a running temp of about 190 or 200 the system won't bleed? When does it bleed? With car running at temp, open the bypass bleeder, Start pumping the hose coming out of the thermostat. If it's hot coolant is coming through the thermostat. If could, the thermostat is either stuck shut or big air pocket. Try pumping a squeezing a little bit more to get the air pocket out (if their even is one) Just try and get as much diagnostic info of the problem on this thread so it's easier to pinpoint

But it does sound like the cooling system is getting pressurized by a leak.
