did your install the thermostat backwards? this could cause the coolant no to circulate, but then your car would overheat too

no, I didnt install the thermostat backwards.. I didnt remove all the
air.

I ended draining the the coolant, and removing the vent bleeder screw,
& add the coolant back..as I watched at the vent bleeder hole coolant was dripping, I closed the bleeder screw.. since then the new upper hose
doesnt feel as if it was a ballon with air.
