Default over cooling/heating issue! help!!

alright well like the title says, ive got over cooling/heating issues.
replaced the oem radiator when mine finally decided to bust on me.
now the car runs overly hot when sitting for a long time in normal weather temperatures. if its cold or cool out, the motor runs dead cold. i replaced the thermostat but that didnt change anything. same results. fans both work as far as when i cut on the ac they both run.

someone please let me know what may be the issue! this is driving me nuts!

It sounds like you have a faulty thermostat. Replace it and make sure to burp the coolant system properly.

I have herd of people getting bad thermos from the start. This is the only thing that will keep your engine from heating up. If you are desperate enough, take it out and return it to Honda
