car problem, ftl

went friday and had my oil and readiator fliuds changed. well my car just about has 104k on it, so i thought i would change the thermostat. well i disconnected the wrong hose. so i reconnected it and had to drive somewhere. well i didnt mess with anything but that hose, did NOT install the new thermostat. well i got about a mile away from my house and i could see my temp gauge hit critical. i have no clue on how to fix cars, so would anyone have a solution. 1 person told me that thier more-than likely is just an air pocket in the hose not letting the engine get the coolant. or could be coinsedent (sp) the thermostat actually just went to sh!t. anything guys? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

You need to bleed the system. With air in it, it isn't going to work right at all. There should be little bleeder screws on the high points of the cooling system.

If you don't know what you're doing hire a professional. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
