Hey guys, I just got a 93 cx hatch. Car came with new radiator and hoses.
A few days ago the car over-heated, so i changed the thermostat because that was the only thing i could think would cause it to over heat considering the radiator and all hoses are brand new. i continued to over-heat after i changed the thermostat on that same day. I drove the car today but it didn't over-heat although it did go past the half way mark and then came back down. I CANT FIGURE IT OUT!

i checked my oil. i checked the hoses.i checked everything i could think of. the fans working, everything seems fine.

except it still kinda over-heats.

any help would be awsome guys, please if u have any suggestions.




thanks!

 

if u have changed the termostat and the radiator. its either your water pump is bad or u have a blown head gasket

 

you might have air in the coolant system. try to bleed it.

hey guys thanks! lol it was that i had air in the cooling system...i bleeded it and everythings fine now. thanks again!!!!!

 

just another add to this thread for the future. Another thing it could have been is the ignition timing. if thats off it could cause the engine to overheat
