hi guys. i got an 03 civic ex. i've changed the radiator 3 times already and the car keeps overheating. i already got a new radiator cap and thats not leaking. i've checked all the hoses and they aren't leaking. i even did a coolant flush and it still over heats. when i changed the radiator it was fine for about a week but then the car would overheat and the radiator would bust and start leaking. oh and yes the fan turns on. i think it might be the thermostat but i have no clue where it is on this car. i'm not a mechanic and i know very little about cars. hence that's why i joined the forum. please help. i'm leaving to the army basic training on the 10th of this month and my wife is staying with the car and i would like to have fixed the problem by then. thanks in advance guys.

See the two necks, on the left, for coolant? The lower neck houses your thermostat. 3 (I think they're 10mm) bolts are all that hold it on.

yeah i found it thanks. i just went ahead and took it off so that the coolant is always running. that seemed to have fixed the issue. i also changed the radiator and it seems to be running pretty good now.
