Default Heating up?

I have a 93 honda prelude with a jdm h22a i just got it back from the shop for over heating too much and kno it just barely heats up one bar above, as soon as i turn on the heat it goes down. im gonna try this product in my anti freeze that lowers the temp 16%, is there any thing that i could do?

See if your fans are working, check the engine and ECU grounds, check the thermostat, bleed the cooling system, etc...

Ok, I'm sure the ECU is fine, but bad/loose grounds can cause the temp gauge to act wierd.

There's a main ECU ground right on the underside of the thermostat housing (where the longer lower radiator hose goes into the engine), also check the tranny ground and valve cover ground. Basically just unbolt and sand down the mounting surfaces with fine sandpaper so the connection is good.
