Default VCG Problem

I've just done my valve cover gasket and changed out my spark plugs. I put everything back together, started my car and now the low engine coolant light is coming on. I checked my coolant level and it's fine. Another non-related question, the timing belt and water pump has been done by a local mechanic and before I took it in my coolant resevoir was bubbling. Is that normal, because it's still bubbling?

The timing belt and thermostat ARE related to your coolant bubbling.
First, check that the electrical connector on the bottom of the coolant bottle is connected frimly and correctly. It only goes on one way.Check the wires for any problem. The procedure to let the air out of the system is in this forum.Check for it or google for it. This will bleed the air out properly. If the car is not over heating this should do it.
