Yes it is possible to get air in the cooling system, and yes, it can make a car run hot. In the little experience I have, they will usually work themselves out with time, but if you're overheating too much then I believe the proper way to bleed the system is to uncap the radiator and start the engine, allowing it to run until hot. This usually makes a mess, but it should fix your problem.

I hope this helps,

Jason

i have heard to loosen the hoses and let some coolant/water leak out and this helps to move air.
