Default My 1992 Honda Accord LX overheats when I drive on the Highway, why?

When I am driving in the city the temperature is fine but when i pick up speed the tempature hits the red mark. I had replaced the therostat and the coolant doesn't seem to be leakin bad at all. I dont know what to do.

hey i had the same problem too with my 91 accord. I did the same thing your doing and later realized it was the head was cracked. I would take a look into that and you might be able to pic another head up at the junkyard or something for less than 100 since it is a common car. Hope this helps

before you replace the head.... you might consider checking for a radiator having poor flow.
Like if the top radiator hose swells up when you rev the engine.
