I have a '95 Integra LS and it has recently started overheating. Prior to this the temp gauge stayed reliably about 3/4 of the way to the halfway mark.

What I think is happening is the fans aren't always coming on when they should. I know they work because I caught them spinning today.

So, what do I do? Is it a sensor? A thermostat?

Thank you.

could be either one or both! change the temp sensor first and see what happens!

 

well is ur car actually overheating? or is it just the gauge saying you are? If it's just the gauge its the temp sensor, if its actually runnin hot it's most likley the thermostat.

 

yeah im having the same problem with my 91...i just threw my motor from my 92 in it and now the larger fan doesnt wanna spin.

 

When the car is moving, the fans do not spin because they're not needed to keep the car cool.

First things to check would be the thermostat (could be stuck closed) or the sensor as was mentioned.

 

well i just figured out that when i swaped motors, i overlooked the fan switch on the back of the block... my bad...
