Aight what up everyone, for the past 2 weeks now, after a lil while of driving around and I come to stop lights or stop for a brief moment, my temperature guage raises damn near to the redline but i dont hear no noises or anything going on. I checked antifreeze, everything is gravy right there. theres antifreeze in the radiator and the holding part also. What could be making my car heat up like that and if you think you know what the problem is, about how much would it cost to get fixed. thanks

 

first of all yr and model,,,,,,, easiest and foremost chk fuses for fans, make sure fans work , could be a t-stat, fan switch, a # of things

 

my fault, its a 94 accord ex. im sure the fans work cause i hear them but im definatly gonna check the fuses tomorrow to see if anything is blown. thanks for that. if all else fails ill just bring it to a shop and see whats up

 

I think it is the thermostat??? same **** was happening to me while i was in traffic for a while or if I was forced to drive slow. ahahah I would drive with my heater on full blast ...well i had to switch it b/c outside is getting hot as a bastard.

 

i'm guessing its ur t-stat

 

i have a 94 accord ex too
and had the same problem,
it would get really high and i would stop and i would hear the fans kick on, and they stayed on for a while, my anti-freeze/coolant looked full but i added some and it took damn near half the jug, and it seemed to be fixed, maybe check the coolant and make sure it just doesnt look full.
