2004 honda accord ex 100000 miles, i just changed the A/C fan recently, and the 2 fans runs normally and i have no overheat problem.However, when i drive my car and the push the enigne to about 3-4 thousand rpm for a short peroid of time, the car seems overheat a little bit. normally when u look at the temperautre gauge, the hand( i mean the needle) is around or below the midline(1/2 line). but this time it keeps at 3/4 line( it is in the middle between the mid-line and H.). the present weather is not that hot, it is around 70-80, and my car seems to have a little bit of overheat problem, do u think this is normal?

i used water to clean the radiator, but the problem is still there? any clues? water pump? or the radiator gap?

I think that cars normally gets heated.but if you feel that its not normal ,do check it once with the mechanic.

is the engine smoking at all? is the coolant boiling over? i had the same problem and it turned out to be a faulty ECT 2 the one located on the bottom left of the radiator. as some point it should throw a check engine light.
