well ive been in phoenix for the last 3 years, so i never really had to use it. i just recently moved back to colorado, and now have to use the heater. well it blows nice and hot when im driving. but when i come to a stop it cools down a lot. as soon as i start moving again it gets really hot, like it should.

its not a huge deal yet, because its not too cold yet. but in the dead of the winter this will start to **** me off.

anyone have any idea what it could be? the only changes ive made in the heating department, would be replacing my full size radiator with a half sized fluidyne. i also replaced both of the fans with slim fans one 12" and one 14"
would this have anything to do with anything?


this is all on a 2001 integra

replace your thermostat

 

that makes sense. but why would it warm up right away when i start to move.

 

gotcha, how much of a pain in the *** is it to replace on a b18b. ***runs off to the helms manual***

 

not much trouble at all

 

yea should go pretty easy. seems easy enough. looks like its pretty tight back there, ill manage.

do the dealerships usually stock this part?

how long are you driving your car when it does this? Sounds like the motor is not warmed up all the way.

Also, make sure you have plenty of coolant becasue a bubble in the system could cause this as well.

 

it does it when the car is all the way warmed up. (about 1/3 on the guage) i will double check the coolant today. but im pretty sure its been properly burped.

 

i support the argument of the thermostat. replace it.
