Default What is wrong with my car? ---> HELP!

Hey,

I have a 99 ex coupe and my water temperature continues to rise when the car is idle. I replaced the thermastat and now I'm ticked off that the temp. is rising again. This started to happen after I got my system installed. What do you think could be the problem? Bad rad? HELP!

Do we need Three topics created by the same user for the same exact thing all in one day?

C'mon man. Thermostat isnt always prob. Fluch the fluid use HONDA Coolant. then make sure your fans are kicking on. Work the progress.

Maybe also check to see if you actually have coolant circulating. Like when the temperature rises do any of the hoses stay cold? Could be your water pump is dead and simply not circulating your coolant. Just a thought.

Bleed the system of air.

Check, or better yet replace, the radiator cap, as it may be leaking pressure.

Perhaps you just need to face facts and upgrade the radiator to one that can handle the extra heat of a B-series.

Check out C&R Racing, theirs are works of art!
