whats up, i just picked up a 93 integra and its got a few problems, most i can work out, but this overcooling is killing me.

alright, so at idle, or really really slow speeds it gets up to normal temps, but as soon as you get running it goes all the way back to cool. i will probably change the thermostat this weekend, but just wanting some ideas as to what it could be besides the thermostat. and i birped the system today, had some air in it, but still having the same problem. thanks in advance.

oh and the heating/cooling system is all stock, still has a/c, fan only comes on when its really hot or when a/c is on etc.

 

its the thermo mine did the same..problem is gone now. after i changed it.

 

Thermostat.

Almost 100% sure.

Mine did the same EXACT crap.

 

yeah, funny thing is my buddies 93 teg does the same thing. he is lazy and hasnt changed the t stat yet, im not so lazy, will do it sunday.

 

thermostat is open and the coolant keeps ciculating around the "loop".

 

thermostat indeed, unless you have a fluidyne radiator.. those work great. lol

 

thermostat 100% sure bro......

 

thermostat is stuck open, pop a new thermostat and gasket in there and your goo to go!

 

UPDATE: its now good to go, figured thats what it was, but just wanted to ask everyones opinion. new problems now, lol.

 

Well...what did you fix...and whats your new issue(s)??

 

well, i fixed the heating/cooling problem, works perfect now.

new issue is a 1600rpm idle no matter what the temp, and yes there is no air the system, i let it idle with the cap off for an hour just to make sure.

im gonna do the FITV tomorrow and hopefully that takes care of it.

i also broke the speedo cable so i have a CEL for the VSS, and the o2 is bad and throwing a code for that. im gonna put the new cable in tomorrow aswell, but cant get an oxygen sensor until monday, so hopefully i will be able to take care of it then and find out whats next. i hate the first few weeks of owning a USED car. i cant understand how people daily drive a car with so many simple maintenance issues, especially when the fix is so cheap and quick.

anyhow, will update again after i do all that.

 

cleaned and screwed the iacv all the way back in and idle is PERFECT now, also fixed the speedo cable so i know how fast im going again, yay.
