Default Honda or a piece of junk?

Last night my car over heated on me. I didn't see any leaks from the radiator or any of the hoes. I just saw the antifreeze forcing itself out of the cap of the radiator. I pured some more fluid after it cooled and it took it fine with no leaks as soon as I took off the gauge said it was over heating again when I got home the same sinario from the cap. Does anyone know what may be the problem? I was thinking about buying a cap maybe that is the problem. Then I said it might be the water pump. I don't know any help will be appreciated. It never fails with Honda's these cars were not ment to be driven hard.

Always make sure the hoes don't leak! A leaky hoe is just downright nasty! LOL!


Sounds like a problem with the thermostat. Replace that. Cheap, and easy to do.

Hondas are actually super inteligent, they malfunction when they sense the driver is too ignorant to be operating them.

Perfect. That may accually be the problem. Thank you so much Big James. I will replace that today, and the cap as well. I will also make sure I get it from the dealer.
I love this site. You guys are great!!! I really appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me on this site. It's about time they came up with a site for people that are interested in getting their problems solved and not having people dis them or call them stupid.

Thanks Again.
