try top off with the car pointing up a hiull, and squeezy the pipes while running to push any air out.

Mine is a bit odd too, again warms up ok, n sits at 90deg and heater works, untill i throttle up to power up a hill, the blower goes cooler, then back to normal again. guage dont change.

did you have the heaters on when you bled the system back up? could be that you had it on cold or off and that could have caused an air lock.

do what the fellow before says, bleed the system and also have the interior on hot to enable the system to be fully open.

try the top off the reservoir with the car pointing up a hill , and squeezy the pipes while engine running to push any air out.

(engine/front car upwards so the matrix then becomes a low point)

(having the heaters on hot in the carwill then open the control valve and should release the air lock)
