Can someone help me please, my 1996 accord has been overheating, I don't see a leak anywhere, the overflow tank top keeps popping off and the water evaporates, then the temp needle gradually shoots up to the red, I have to continue to put water in the radiator and overflow tank, what am I doing wrong? I've already replaced the thermostat, any suggestions?

 

well is your fan working? and I believe it can mean a sign of a blown head gasket

 

The fan on the passenger side comes on when I turn the car off, I don't think the fan on the drivers side is working, when is that one supposed to come on?

 

ya the driver one comes on when the ac is on how long has it been since a coolant change does it need it

 

also on a cold start open the radadiator cap when on to see if you see any water movement from the water pump if you have a smooth idle you will see a little slushing around in there

 

replace your rad. i just did it for the same reasons, and the drivers side fan won't come on unless the raditor is full. I found that out too.

 

first of all buddy get rid of the water. it will eat your head. second change your thermostat. if that doesnt work thenit may be your water pump.
