Nope, it has to be the 'switch' in the dash. It's next on the to-do list.

Agreed. Multiple problems did try to hide each other. And the dash gauge is pretty vague.

Prior to touching the car at all, it was very low on coolant. Only a few teaspoons of coolant was in the tank. Then I swapped the intake, that probably compounded the situation. If the air could move, I agree it should evac itself. But if it was trapped somewhere...

So please tell me what is the problem?
Nobody ever said I had heat in the passenger compartment. I still don't. The only mention of heat was when I was referring to the cooling system under the hood:
"So if the system holds pressure, the cap is proven to be good, the thermostat seems to be working properly, and heat (but not pressure or flow) is being distributed throughout the system, what is wrong?"
