Help...Overheating at Idle!
 

ok, so i have changed my rad, put a civic aluminium mishimoto....changed the thermostat for the correct 64mm since i have a jdm h22a! also have an electric slimfan wired to a switch so its always on....running ionized water with redline water wetter. Now i have a new water pump from last year, when i swapped the motor, but i bought a jobber :S yea i know stupid move!!! Anyways only thing that is old is the rad hoses...and i gotta admit the bottom one is really soft!!!

so yea the car starts to run hotter than normal when i come to a stop more than 2-3 minutes....if i rev it and push it a bit when i start to drive, temp goes back down!!!

HELP ME I CANT TAKE THIS NO MORE!!


update after a couple of days:

im really getting effin mad!! Still overheats at idle...what weird is i turn the car off...wait 10 seconds, turn the key back on, temp is back to regular!

things ive changed:

gauge sensor
thermostat
rad
hoses
slimfan
rad cap

thing is, the system doesnt seem to be pressurizing! take the cap off and no pressure release!!


Waterpump you think?

check if ur fan is pushing in the right way? that would be one ofmain issue for over heating, does ur coolent smell like oil? if so it can be ur head gasket

No pressure typically indicates that you have a leak in the system. Use a pressure tester to see if a leak appears.

deinately pressure check. it could be the tune as well. if its running to lean. does it backfire at all when your slowing down on engine compression

Re: Help...Overheating at Idle!
 

yea it backfires....but its not running lean, its running rich!!! back of my car gets black after 2 days!!!

Water pump might be bad.
