02 Civic EX D17 Overheating Please Advise
Just drove 815 miles, while on the highway at 75 MPH no troubles. When at lights idling, car overheats.
- No fluid loss
-Upper and lower hoses hot and presurized
- With A/C on both fans are running
What next?

check your coolant for oil / oil for coolant
Head gaskets seem to be reoccuring problems in 01-05s.

Hey all,
I checked it this morning and I have combustion gases bubbing out of the radiator. Going to replace the head gasket. While I'm there I'm going to do the timing belt and water pump. Thanks for your replies.

Combustion gases in the radiator? How exactly are combustions gases getting into the radiator?
Sounds like it could be as simple as a radiator cap not keeping the system pressurized. You're giving way too little and way too vague info to diagnose it.

Tha car has 68K on it.
As far as the vague info, the combustion gases from one or more of the cylinders is higher than the pressure in the coolant system. Thus when the head gasket is leaking between the coolant passage and the cylinder, the combustion gases enter the coolant system system.
I am going to have a machine shop shave the head to ensure its not warped at all. There are tolernces in the service manual for that specification.
I've never had any engine do this so early. I under this happens with the hondas occasionally.
