    I just replaced the coolant control valve. I'm hearing alot of coolant movement when I cut the car off now. I am guessing its air in the system. What is the easiest way of getting air out of the system?

    Use the search function here. There are many tutorials describing the process. There are also many videos on Youtube.

    This is a great tool to use:

    Good 2-part video, best I've seen here, IMO.
