Over Heating EJ6 Hatchy AKA EK Hatchy

Ok I Got A Brand New OEM Thermostat From Honda. And I Replaced It Last Week. And I Replaced The Fan Switch Even Tho It Was Working. And Today It Started Doing The Same **** Again. Still Over Heating. Now What I Don't Get Is If I Hold The Motor At 4k. The Thermostat Gauge Flyies Down Back To Normal. Could It Be That The WaterPump Is Going Bad???? And BTW The WaterPump Does Not Leak AnyThing...

But The Thing Is That The Fan Stays Running But The Car Is Still Over Heating.

hmmm it could be a blown head gasket

let your car cool down and check your coolant to see if theres oil in it it would have that glazed look like if when theres oil in water or a brownish color

Nothing There LMAO. It's Crazy Because If I'am Driving Normal On The HighWay It Starts Over Heating. But If I DownShift On The HighWay It Goes Back To Normal.

Well Here Is The Rest Of The Post That Did Not Show Up.

I Did The WaterPump. And It's Running MINT Now. But What I Don't Get Is That The Waterpump Did Not Leak. And The Metal Fins Were Fine.

That is interesting, makes my worry about mine now since it is old.

When your car got hot did it do it running or at idle?
