The one about a car...

I went to go check out this honda civic 89 lx and everything looked great. But when the car got warm the temp gauge shot slowly to the top. Then the fan kicked on and it went back down to about the middle. Should i not buy this car?

sounds like the fan relay is a little off, or perhaps the thermostat needs to be changed.

BTW, 89 LX

could be the temp sensor is outa wack.... check the coolant thenget a thermometer lat the car idle and watch the temp and see what it goes to.....if it starts climbing towards 230 before your fan clicks on i would test the temp sensor....
