How do you get your Toyota 4 runner started again after it over heated?

Depends on how badly it overheated. If it simply got too hot and the fluid started running out but no damage occured to the engine. Then it probably boiled the fuel out of the fuel manifold. Simply turning the key to the start position should get the fuel moving again but it might take some time to come to pressure. If on the other hand it got hot enough to cause damage and warping of the metal. Then you might need to repair the damage before it will restart.

When making Styrofoam how do you push air bubbles into Styrofoam art?

You don't push air into Styrofoam.Styrofoam is "foamed" using a liquid blowing agent that is mixed into the liquid styrene resin before molding, this liquid blowing agent then evaporates forming bubbles in the styrene.This blowing agent used to be a freon, but as these can damage the ozone layer they have switched to using HCFC or HFC blowing agents.The bubbles in styrofoam are filled with the gaseous form of the blowing agent, not air!
