Bought 94 sl saturn. Engine light on. Coolant low. Put water and coolant in coolant container but radiator won't burp to take fluid. Also changed thermostat but heater only blows out luke warm air. Any ideas how to fix and why it happened. Thanks Reta

There is no bleeder valve's on that engine just warming up the coolant and adding coolant will bleed the system.If the coolant is low top it off.Check and see if both heater hose's are getting really hot.Are both upper and lower radiator hose's getting hot as well?
