Roush interccoler pump/degas bottle air lock?

[Dsquared]

Pardon the title typo..I checked my intercooler coolant fluid circulation today on my Roush P2, (which was installed a month ago). With start button in on position, I can hear the pump working but I see very little movement (like a trickle) of fluid through the degas bottle, I compared this to my friends set up, and his runs through like a spigot is on. Do I have air in my system, and if so, what is best way to bleed? Anything in particular I should look for? On a side note, my IAT's have been high, 115-135 on 80 degree days, which prompted me check out the above. I'm not even sure if the two are related but I feel like I'm running hot. Any input would be appreciated.

If the pump is running you should see a ton of circulation coming out of the outlet of the manifold. Best way would be to draw a vacuum on the system and then fill it from a bucket full of coolant...this will make sure that there are no air pockets anywhere

All good now. Thanks for the tip!

The IAT have nothing to do with the intercooler on a Roush tune. The temp is read before the blower/intercooler. One of the advantages of an aftermarket tune is relocating the IAT sensor to the manifold to get a more accurate reading. When the car is moving the IAT's on a Roush tune will be 5-10 degrees above ambient, it feels good to see but it is not real world reading.

I just noticed your sig, did your tuner relocate the IAT sensor? I'm not sure if Nguage allows for stock location. I know SCT does not.

Yes, you are correct. Saw my tuner today and he said the same thing. Thanks for the input!
