My 93 civic cx has been having over heating issue.

What happen Before ? Got in a car accident which they cracked the radiator didnt know that it was cracked till i was driving home for 3 mins and saw the temp going up.

Replaced the radiator and it ran fine for about 2 months

NOW the Car runs fine for about 30 mins after that the TEMP starts to go up slowly to 3/4 of the temp gauge. I shut down the engine when i see it go that high and wait for it to cool down and start to drive again for another 5 mins with HEATER PUT ON FULL BLAST just to reach my destination.

Today i just replaced the thermostat with new gasget and car still running the same way.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE

THANKS

radiator bubbles up alot

 

If you haven't heard or seen your fan turn on, you need to double check that it does. Replacing the fan doesn't get it to turn on. You need to check the fan switch by jumping it to see if the fan will turn on. If it turns on then your radiator isn't cooling the fluid properly.

not good. Look under your oil cap and see if there is coolant and look in your coolant and check for oil. also look for steam in your exhaust. May be a blown headgasket

 

ya I would check the fan for sure and also that it's blowing the correct way. Also did you take the bubbles out of the antifreeze when you changed it? Is is bubbling to get the air out or because you let it get so hot?

 

Neebs = i will try to jump start the fan today

EKstacy= no there isnt oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil. my exhaust has an exhaust leak but it does smell when its about to over heat

ballinboosi = i did a flush first then added 50/50 i dont know if the water pump is letting fluid to the car from the bottom tube i feel the tube get hot but i dont feel pressure of liquid its like only hot air pressure

 

just notice today the car exhaust is blowing out white smoke

 

help please
