I'm trying to work on my girlfriends 92 civic DX sedan as it is overheating on a regular basis.. She doesn't drive it now until its fixed so I'm trying to hurry up a little bit.. basically the car is always overheating. It will overheat whether its being driven, or just at idle. The fans do NOT come on at any point. I searched here and found that the relay could be a problem, so I'm gonna stop by the junkyard tomorrow and see if I can grab a new one, cuz they dont have them at autozone...

I also want to wire the fans up to turn on with the ignition.. seems like a good idea. How would I go about doing this? Any "how-to" pages around? I have an 80 camaro and a neon r/t so I'm not great with civics yet..

Last thing, we bled the coolant system and a lot of air came out. Closed it back up for a minute, and when we went to bleed it again, air was in the system already again.. ? Someone told me to leave it open/bleeding while the engine is warming up until coolant starts to come out.. is this right? Thanks for any help,

well if your fan isn't coming on then it's definately your relay. My friend tried 2 thermostats and I kept telling him to get the relay well he finally went to the dealer and bought one. I would get a new one from honda they're not that expensive. After you put the new relay in and if you still wanna wire it up with your ignition I would put a toggle switch to where you can still turn it on and off whenever it gets hot, I wouldn't do that if your relay works I'd just let the car take care of it.
