start by pressure testing the cooling system see if it holds pressure, then check operation of the waterpump and the thermostat. something in that cooling system isnt working

copy. it was replaced 3 years ago though. Im sure the previous owner would have caught it if the system wasnt bled properly. But is there a possibility of air seeping in some how ?
i have a coolant temp sensor, temp sensor harness, and thermostat on the way. Havent had a chance to pull off my bumper yet.
Also, how long/quicky does it take your guys cars to hit 210F/operating temp ?
I took a short drive this morning from a dead cold start, about 1.5 miles up hill and my needle was already in between the first dot and 210F, closer to 210F.
Also noticed the car hesitating before firing up. about 2 seconds before it turns on. Thinking this is battery or alternator related.
