in the summer my car can hold heat but during the winter it can't hold heat worth of carp. the car will warm up normally if i let the car idle but as soon as i start driving the temp. gauge would drop back down to cold and the heat will not build back up. there are no ice in the radiator or in the hoses. i can't figure out whats wrong with it. any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

 

do you know if you have a thermostat or not?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ x2..... or maybe its stuck open!!!

 

my cousin said he put a thermostat in when he built my motor. i'll check again if its there.

 

your thermostat is bad. replace it with a new OEM Honda one.

 

Put a new thermostat. I'll almost guarantee that's the problem. Even if there's one in there, it may not be functioning properly. If you're going to take the time to pull the hoses off to check, you may as well replace it since they're only like $8...

 

i replace the thermostats to a STANTS 195 degree and it was working fine but now its over heating. what degree thermostats should i use?

 

go get an oem unit from honda, chances are the new one is stuck closed, i changed one 3 times with aftermarket crap, they kept exchanging me for a new and no luck, finally i got pissed off and got my money back went with oem one and no problems, a 195 should be fine, a 210 is nice and warm, but still shouldnt be anywhere over heating
