Default Don't know what it is

So my car has been having overheating problems but not quite sure where it is coming from. The radiator has been replaced and one of the hoses that came off my cold air intake . It acts fine for like a day or two at the most but then I putting back almost a full thing of water back into the radiator . I know the system needs to be burped but could the air be causing so much overheating problems with the loss of fluid ? Also when driving I notice that my car smells like coolant burning.

You don't burp an Accord, you open the bleeder. That is why you're loosing fluid, its not loosing anything, its getting pulled into the system because you did it incorrectly.

Open the 12mm bleeder on the t-stat housing and fill the radiator again.

if you're putting straight tap water into your system you're just asking for trouble...and odds are you got a leak
