Replaced the coolant bleeder/ temp sensor unit because the oe blew in half. Engine ran normal and at normal temp then over hested 20 minutes down the road and won't turn over. Having a problem removing the air pocket from the bleeder. Engine does turn over from time to time but runs very rough and shuts off. What do i do now

You can run a motor with no coolant for a couple seconds. But from the sounds of it not wanting to crank its fried. sell it and look for a new car
