DB2 Overheating.
I'm really in need of help. I've searched here regarding my "Integra Overheating" and I replaced all the major parts already but it's still overheating.
Problem:
93 Integra GS-R
My clutch was slipping last week, so I replaced the clutch myself and after doing that my Integra overheats ( as in the temperature gauge will shoot all the way to HOT when the car is in motion.)
At first I thought it's a bad thermostat, so I replaced it with a new one with a new gasket. Also bleed my coolant and put new coolant in.
It still overheats, so I'm thinking my Radiator fan might be bad. Replaced that with a New Radiator Fan, Both fans turns on fine.
Now this time, I think it's the Water Pump, Tested the water pump and it's working fine. Waterpump was replaced a little less than 2 months ago.
I'm just confused at this moment. The car doesn't over heat when it sit still only when it's in motion.
Recap of what I replaced.
Thermostat with Gasket
Radiator Fan
Water Pump
Radiator Cap

Re: DB2 Overheating. (DANINEJDM)
is it acutally running hotter than usual or does the thermostat just jump up in an instant? i really dont know what to tell you since youve already replaced all those parts.

Blown headgasket, air pocket in the head, faulty temp sending unit, clogged radiator.
When you drained the coolant, did you see any oil residue? Have you checked the oil for water or the bottom of the oil cap for white junk?

Re: DB2 Overheating. (DANINEJDM)
After going through a bunch of Bullshit and replacing almost every possible cause related to radiator flow... I found out my problem..
Remember how I said I bought a new Honda thermostat with a new gasket and put that on...
what I found out after replacing the fan, sensor, thermostats and gasket was that the lower hose on the radiator wasn't HOT
so my thoughts went toward a bad thermostats.....
I took that Honda thermostat back and got another one
and the car stop overheating now.
So Acura sold me a defected Honda Thermostats..
Everything is all good after having to spend a shitload of money.
