So you're overheating this thing daily? Air in system is always the first suspect. How did you bleed the air? It overheats when exactly? Not enough info past "I've been throwing parts at it with no change".

No it not being driven since the issue don't wana create damage. System was burped using the open funnel and car running method. And the heat on the car blows hot not just kinda warm.

Re: 2000 civic ex overheating issue
Yea, try burping it once more making sure the fans kick on and try elevating the front of the car so the air has an easier route to the funnel. And credit to grumble, I believe I saw this trick in one of your other comments somewhere, squeeze the coolant hoses a little bit to release any trapped bubbles. It should help relieve any air still in the system.

Not sure if this will help but I had the same issues with my 2000 Civic for 6 months and did everything you have done. The cooling fan would come on but not until temps were climbing too high. I bypassed the new fan switch and wired the cooling fan direct to run all the time and my overheating issues have pretty much gone away.
