Hey one of my friend has a 97 integra LS stock everything.
Well he was driving like 2 hours on the hwy and then once he started driving local and caught a red light he said his Temp started going pass the 60% mark to High and then when he started to drive since it was green again the temp went back down.. This happened only when he was stopped but he said it doesnt do it anymore.. What do you guys think it is? can it be the thermo? waterpump lmk thanks

 

its your radiator fan anit working..........change it.........i have the same problem on my civic.......

 

ic.. but last time when we were out and i heard his fan working but i'll let him know thanks

 

o is there a way we can check to see if the fan really does work or not before going to the junk yard and buying another one??

 

your fan rely fuse.....check that...also somtimes it work sometimes it does not wan to work...........that wat i hate about honda radiator fan.....

 

Fill the system.

 

make shure your fans kick on first. start your car and let it run, a/c off. tell they kick on. if thery dont, check your thermostatic switch. its on the thermostate houseing. jump that 2 pin connector on the harness side and see if the fans kick on.

 

Had the exact same problem. Replaced the thermo and that was the end of it. Make sure to replace the gasket as well. Also, check the fuse for the radiator fan.

 

for thermostat. Also could be fans as previously stated. Check fans, if they work replace thermostat.

 

yeah im thinking its the thermo cause he replaced it with autozone duralast so i dont think those are that good

 

fans work we were out the other night i heard it turn on.. it turned on when the temp was getting higher and all it did was just stop it from going up and then once my friend drove it went back down... i think hes gonna change the thermostat and relay to be safe.. thanks

 

Did you bother to check the coolant level? That's the first thing you check. Check for leaks in the little hoses under the IM and throttle body. I am running an Autozone thermostat, no problems here after like 70K miles of it being installed, but mechanical parts can fail right out of the box. Make sure the system is bleed properly.

 

yeah we checked around didnt see an y signs of leak and the coolant level was good

 

How many miles are on the motor? Since you said fan kicks in, first thing i would check is the hoses and thermostat. There is a thread on here where you can check your thermostat. Make sure fluids look good and full.
