Okay guys I need some help here. My accord is overheating. I pulled the thermostat to see if it was a problem but it only helps a little. Here are some of the symptoms. With the thermostat out and the fans constantly running (i bypassed the switch) the car runs cooler that usual. But for what ever reason I am slowly loosing raidiator fluid throught the resevoir tank. This continues until the vehicle runs low in fluid and begins to overheat. Initialy I figured it was a bad raidiator cap so I changed it out but I continue to loose fluid as I drive. When I refill the raidiator, the car runs fine for about 80 miles then it starts up again. What would cause the vehicle to build pressure in the cooling system enough to start loosing fluid in cooler that normal running temperature. I am stummped, any help that I get will be greatly appreciated.

does the car still have a warranty? If so let the dealer deal with it...first of all put everything back to the way it is suppose to be, IE put the thermostat back and un-rig the coolant temp sensor...then see if the car is leaking water...if there is no leak and seems to be a lot of pressure coming out from the radiator and spilling into the overfill resevoir its probably a bad headgasket/warped head...although I would let a mechanic check it though since its hard to diagnose over the internet
