ok, my car was driving fine, pulled up and my friend was like hey, your cars steaming, i looked and was like ****, i got to tighten that hose. i was about to go to class this morning and i check and they wern't lose. drove 4 miles to school, and was like 90% of the way up on the temp gauge. checked no steam. so i drive to autozone and fill it up with collent. starts overheating again, get it home, pop the hood, no steam, top radiator hose is hot, bottem, is cold. i know thats not good. what is its and what am i looking at

 

Your thermostat isnt opening. Replace it.

 

Try replacing the thermostat and bleeding the system out when you're done. It sounds like things aren't circulating properly and the thermostat is usually inexpensive to replace yourself.

FYI, one radiator hose is supposed to be hotter than the other.

 

i know, but one was like can't hold on to it hot (top) and the other was like burrr i live in ******* fargo and its snowing here)

 

Make sure to replace with an OEM Honda thermostat. Aftermarket units often have problems.

 

ok, seal and thermo. replaced, heater works now but the only thing is it go through phazes of running hot and regular, is this because i filled it up but it wasn't on so it may still be a little empty, when i let it sit, it goes like half way between the top of the flag and the end of the actual bracket but when i take off it drops, my fans working now too, im guessing what that was

Sounds like the thermostat to me.
