would a fan not turning on while driving cause it to overheat?
would a fan not turning on while driving cause it to overheat? I am driving on the freeway or city going 45to 75 after 30 min of driving the temp gauge sky rockets? 3/4
Is it important to have the fan on while on that speed?
It is a stock integra rad. and the manifold and dump tube is really close to the rad. also, about 1/2 inch. would that cause some unwanted heat

I haven't been running a fan for quite some time now and Mine only overheats if I get stuck @ multiple lights in a row. If I am on the highway or in the city moving constantly there is no problem. Thought this might help.

yes it will cause you to overheat. I had it happen. for me the culprit was a faulty relay. check the relay, fuse, thermoswitch, thermostat, condition of radiator, fan.

Not if you're going 75 mph on the highway.
Now stop and go traffic is another matter all together.

ok that rules that out,
Do you think there is not enough airflow would cause the problem, it has a 3 inch intercooler that is really close together (bar and plate) i think, then the A/C condenser, then raditior?Stock bumper also, and just one 12 inch fan, need to add another soon.

Bleed your coolant system. The fan should not have to be on at highway speeds to cool the system.

whats your overflow tank look like? If its filling all the way to the top then your headgasket is blown. Also check parts of your cooling system like the thermostat, radiator cap, etc.

yah, there is definately air in your system...listen to vapor boy and just uncap your radiator cap and watch the bubbles start coming out...now if that isnt the problem, maybe you have a problem with the thermostat not opening...but i am pretty sure it air in the coolant system
