1 Start off with the engine cool, not run for an hour or so. 2 Remove the radiator cap.3 Fill the radiator and/or recovery bottle. the bottle will have a fill line, and fill the radiator until coolant reaches the bottom of the hole for the cap.4 start the engine and let it idle.5 Watch the bottle and fill cap hole for bubbles.6 If it bubbles, let the motor run. If the coolant level drops, slowly add more.7 Watch until the bubbles stop, then shut the motor off, make sure the level is right, and re-cap.
this should burp the system of any trapped air. good luck
PS sometimes this can get messy, espesially if you spill coolant, because the fan can make a nice coolant fog. not usually a problem though.

Why would a 92 Eclipse push water back through the thermostat housing and overheat?
The thermostat is most likely stuck in the closed position and needs to be replaced. The closed thermostat does not allow the coolant to circulate through the radiator, thus overheating the engine. The reason for water being pushed through the thermostat housing is because the water pump is spinning and there is no place for the coolant to go, therefore, it is leaking out through the housing gasket which is probably already blown (need to replace it when you replace the thermostat.

Were is the thermostat at on a 2000 Saturn Sl2?
The thermostat is located right on the front of the engine block. It is not a normal thermostat like you see in most vehicles. It is actually the flange that the lower radiator hose slips on to. Drain your engine coolant, remove the clamp on the lower radiator hose going to to the motor. remove the two 10mm bolts from the radiator hose flange to the motor, and the entire assembly will come out. when you purchase a new thermostat, it will come already mounted in a new housing. Replace the gasket, place the new thermostat in the motor, and reinstall the bolts.
