Not it dont indicate that it is over heating. I have AEM cold air and the needle does go up now futher then what it used to, but not over half. I am going to try to fix the leak again this week end and try to bleed it again, thanks.

I have a question though. If there is air in the coolant how bad does it cause the car to idle? Will it cause the car to back fire and will it give it a rich exhaust smell? I am loosing alot of gas I noticed yesterday. I am not getting like 50 miles to a 1/4 tank so like 200 a tank.

No, air in the coolant would give a surging idle, up & down as air goes through the IACV & FITV. I haven't heard of it causing rich mixture. Check for fuel in the vacuum line at the FPR (shouldn't be any fuel).
