i just bought a 1990 crx si and it over heats but what i was wondering is the guy that owned it before me took the radiator fan and fan motor out of it and would that make it overheat as easy as it does? thanks

yes

 

thanks guys was was just unsure because its my first import and know very little

 

if there is no fan it would only overheat when stopped, if you are driving the air would be sufficient to cool properly, if it overheats when driving its probably your thermostat get a new one from honda

 

well there seems to be another problem. i guess the car has been sitting there for 2 weeks with a dead battery and me and a friend jumped it and i thought it would charge the battery but after runing it for awhile and shutting it off it when u turn it back on the start up lights are very dim and the altenator and battery were new like 2 months ago

 

If a battery sits dead for to long, it can go bad. Even in 2 months. Check your voltage while the car is running, then check it when the car is off. When it is running, it should be at 13.5 to 14.50 volts. When it is not running it should be around 12 volts.

 

thanks everyone for ur help

 

well i find out today that the whole bottom of the car is rotted out and its to low for it to be inspected im kinda getting sick of this car i dont know what to do now

 

i would like some suggestions maybe???

 

get pics of the bottom if u can. and get some coil overs so u can raise it up for inspection

 

i will do when i get it back and the thing with that is my car only has a 2.5 inch lowering kit and i know there are other cars that are atleast 3 inches and they passed

 

well since i finally got my cast off from breaking my hand i think this weekend i am going to take out and tear down my engine and put a couple new things in it like a new head gasket, rings, valve cover gasket, aftermarket pullys
