check your coolant level. When I had my Celica it made a gurgling sound from the dash. I came out and checked the coolant overflow tank the next morning when the car was cold and found it was low. Filled it up and the sound went away.

Yeah, you prolly have bubbles in your coolant line.

time to burp the baby if you got air bubbles

park the car on a steep incline facing upwards, so the radiator is higher then the engine. Take the rad cap off and leave it there for a good 20min. That should get most, if not all the air outta the coolant system.
