my 90 ex gets so hot after 10 minutes (driving) that steam shoots out the coolant resoivour lid right at the battery,for a couple minutes after parking, have to add 1 litter of coolant mix each time, just bought car and know now theres no thermostat inside housing, 1 on order With seal ring ,, new radiator cap, temp guage stays at perfect reading thru out,,,any suggestionsfor this 57 year old wanna be mechanic ?

 

The temp sensor might be gone too.

 

How much are you filling the reservoir ? It should only be about halfway filled inside on a cold start. Take the bottle out and look at it. The MAX FULL mark is at about halfway the height of the bottle. If you keep filling it up all the way when the car warms up it will overflow.

 

I just found a mechanic, and I can afford him, Ill take info to him and let him do it, Thank you , we will check temp sensor, and reservoir, Im wondering if the steam is supposed to shoot out the cap, warped ?, or designed that way,, I also heard of a Resting Place (bone yard) for old Hondas near by, ( I live in small town in Smokey Mountains), So Im on my way to becoming a full fleged Honda Lover. My last car of 10 years was a 90 toyota corolla, 90 seems to be a good year. So for me, this Accord is a limo

 

have you started the car with the radiator cap off? If you do does it shoot out coolant while running? If it does you might have a blown cylinder head gasket.

 

Thank Everyone for the help. Ive viewed alot of u tube videos and I think Ive got the picture now,, LOL. No wonder I got the car so cheap. Im real happy with my EX, its a Limo to me, and I will be systematically repairing everything as money allows. Ive been buying old cars all my life, I start old and cheap, and then I put repairs into them and Know whats what, Almost every time Ive paid less in fix up and preventative work/ parts, then paying alot for the car up front and having to do the repairs anyway. I will put some pictures up after the 15 day thing. Its a Beauty to look at.
