91 integra overheating?
ok i have a 91 integra and im trying to determine what is making it overheat. i have just replaced a radiator due to a crack in the tank. at the same time i had to replace the thermostat. i also replaced the hoses and etc. it seemed to run fine once i fixed that problem. but on my way home last night the thing suddenly started to overheat to the point where steam started to come out. i shut it down waited like 10 min and drove down the road to my house. today i checked the engine to find that the puke can had a little water on the cap but none in it. and checked the head for anitfreeze or some kind of water. no water or antifreeze. i pulled the plugs to find that one plug was kind of green but the others were fine. im stuck as of this point and dont no what to do? any suggestions?

i'm no car whiz, but i had a similar problem, there was some ripped wire near the manifold, Auto zone did me clean with some rubber to replace it, not wire in exact, some rubers(not condoms) similar to the ones that go connected with the air intake for the censors
First check the oil and see if its milky, if it isnt then turn your
motor over where the piston is all the way up in the
cylinder with the greenish spark plug. shine down there with a flashlight
and check for water. if ther is none reasemble fill up you radiator
and run with the radiator cap off. let your car idle look for a bad idle
and alot of bubbles from the radiator. expect the water to spew out from
the radiator and cut it off when it does.In other words you might have
blown a head gasket. If you dont see anything of the stuff i described
post back up for what you should check next.
