my 97 civic ex is badly over heating, maybe the fan? maybe the thermostat?...i dont know...any suggestions ?

 

does the fan come on? sounds like the thermostat is sticking

 

I swear there have been about 10 "overheating" threads in the last few days. All you guys need to get together to compare notes.
Or better yet, SEARCH other threads together.

 

sometimes it doesnt kick on, and it will over heat if the air is off. today everything seemed to be running fine and all of a sudden the temp went wayyyy up and the air was on all the way but not really coming through the vents....

 

yup sounds like the thermostat

 

alright thanks alot, i appreciate the quick replies
