coolant flow to ISC and IAC

[kthnos]

hi,

98 vitara jlx 5d here. lots and lots of problems but i have managed to repair most. i am happy the way it runs now (both performance and mileage).

now here is the problem:
i flushed the radiator,changed the coolant,etc,etc and since then (2 days) it looks like the ISC and IAC don`t get hot. everything else is fine (both engine and heater temps). i tried to release any air pockets (rad cap off, car inclined to about 20degrees), but to no avail. what can this be? some passage blocked? or definately an air pocket? should i try to pinch the bypass line (on the water pump) to force the coolant to flow through the IAC/ISC line (and thus release any air pocket there)?

thanks,
