temperature increasing with speed usually is a strong sign of head gasket failiure.
as the engine is speding up the compressed exhaust gasses escape into the cooling system and heat up the coolant rapidly.
for an airlock, run the engine up to temperature, remove the coolant bottle cap, put blowers on full in car on HOT and run it on fast idle about 2000 rpm. let the coolant bubble over the tank for a few seconds. turn off engine, replace the cap, turn off blowers and let it idle and check the fans comes on. at 100ish degrees. let the fan cool it back down and leave engine till fully cool. then top up with coolant
