OVER HEATING CIVIC PLEASE HELP
ok, Im going to resend this again, my car is overheating, I replaced the thermostat, the lower radiator hose, the top is goo still, NO LEAKS, no WHITE SMOKE, new water pump is in. and the fluid level is up to level and has the right mixture of water and antifreeze. they say it could be the head gasket but it only starts over heating when I drive for long periods of time and only when im going up hill....any sugestions???

i suggest bleeding the system.. my way is.. drain all fluids.. pour fluids through top of radiator till fills up.. reconnec to radiator.. keep topping off the radiator do not put the cap on untill the fan goes on
you can also have a messed up radiator ..

on top of that, if you bought a thermostat from autozone or some other cheap parts store, it's very possible that it's defective. i personally have gotten 2, along with dozens of others. take it back, fork over the extra $6 and go get one from honda.

Re: OVER HEATING CIVIC PLEASE HELP (93CivicSI)
Here is what I would do (and btw please only make one thread....multiple threads are annoying)
1. Bleed the cooling system
if still overheating
2. Do a compression check (this will tell you if its the headgasket)
if everything is good...
3. Remove the thermostat (this did the trick for me in my boosted civic)
still overheating...
4. Replace the radiator (while ur at it u can upgrade to a dual core delsol for the same price )
Hope this helps. Also...it might be helpful to know what happens when u overheat (i.e. does it go straigt ot red...does it take a while...etc)

Re: ({StatuS ChecK})
my car was also over heating, come to find out my fan went bad and wasnt kicking on...does it over heat all the time or just at idle?
