ok guys heres what happen i did a radiator flush & after i ran it for a while. i took it to work the next day & on my way back from work i noticed my temp going up i was freaking out so i stopped and parked my car & turned it off. i popped the hood & it was spraying the liquid from the top plastic part of the radiator. i need a new radiator i guess that stupid flush cracked it or something. my car didnt completely over heat the temp only went up a bit past the normal spot its suppose to be. do i need a new head gasket just to stay on the safe side? please let me know!

 

no u dont ...my temp went all the way up once while driving cause i had a leak n car was fine...if u overheat it more than once it when u usualy need a headgasket...

 

oh ok good thats saving me some money lol thanks for the info bro

 

It is very unlikely you would need a new HG, leaking plastic top or bottom cap is pretty common on Honda/Acura, not sure how a flush would cause it. 94

 

ok guys i bought a new rad from autozone installed it & while i was bleeding the cooling system my fan was not turning on. the temp was rising so i turned my car off. my dad wired the fan directly to the battery & it turned on. am i looking at an electrical problem or a thermostat problem? let me know guys i want my car running already

 

check your fan fuse...ive never touch mines and once i was doing a radiator swap i installed an used slim fan and i though i was bad and bought another one and still wasnt working...when i check my fan fused was toasted..its on the box next to battery....if not it could be your fan switch...the 2 wire sensor looking thing on the thermostat housing...dont wire it directly..you can unplug it and just jump them and it will be on all the time...try the fused..1st then check the switch..always check a fused before anything else...

 

What is the MM&Y of the car? 94

 

when u flushed ur radiator did loosen the bleed valve cause that is an important factor.

 

what fuse exactly bro? and i replaced the fan switch from an old working thermostat & still didnt turn on the fan. im pretty sure its my thermostat it wont open to trigger the fan.

are you talking about the bleed bolt thats near the head? if so no i did not loosen it was i suppose too?
