a scary moment

Best way to "burp" the system is to jack up the front of the car or park on a steep hill and then fill the radiator. Just sitting there, the top of the heater core is higher than the filler cap on the radiator and you will almost never be able to get all the air out.

You ,might have ur mechanic check ur fuel system o2 sensors etc.. if it smells like gas when u have it idling it probably has a bad o2 sensor...

Ya you definently do have some air trapped in your cooling system. Mine does that after I changed the HG.
As for that idle, check your TPS. But I know this happens with a vacuum leak too.
