Alright well recently my car has been overheating when i go at slower speeds or am at a complete stop. Once i pick up and start moving again it goes back down to normal. Im guessing that it's because my cooling system is clogged with something and i need a radiator flush to completely clean it out so that my thermostat can open up all the way. Just a guess and if that could be problem, anyone know good places for a radiator flush, what the cost is, and will it clean it thoroughly? thanks guys.

 

Check to see where your coolant level is and if your fans are operating properly.

 

Most likely your thermostat is stuck closed. You'll need to replace the thermostat, about $15-$20 for an OEM one from a dealer. I used a 99-00 Civic Si one in my car, same part, because the Honda dealer was closer.

For flushing, follow my directions I made in a post a few years ago:

yea i recently replaced my thermostat, i did a flush today at jiffy lube just before i came back to this so that's taken care of. i think it's worked out well but we'll have to wait and see. thanks for the help.
