My mechanic is going to look at it on Saturday. He said that he did put the thermostat in the right way and that he burped the car. So we will see what he finds on Saturday.

That's just how mine acted, WHEN THE THERMOSTAT WAS BAD! Maybe he put the old one back in. Also, some people here are sensitive to thermostat brand. The concensus seems to be: Wahler = bad, Behr = good
