What code or codes you getting from the check engine light? Does your radiator can turn on?

Replace the thermostat with an OEM unit. Reset the ECU. Work from there. Civics don't have "launch control."

i havent ran a code on it yet,actually was lookin it up now,and have my fan hard wired so i turn it on as soon as it hits runnin temp,and thanks i think i will get one from honda and i kno a stock one does,but i have a chipped ecu so

So you have what the rest of us call a 2 step. Ok.

Bleed the cooling system and pull the CEL codes.

ok i always thought 2 step was for boosted cars and launch control was for na cars,and thanks bud i will do that tomorrow and let u kno how it comes out.thanks and another thing i just took it out when it was cold and no problem then it got hott then it started acting up,do u guys think its leaking on the speed sensor and causing it to act up
