Does anybody know where the Water Pump is located on the 85 Accords?

My coolant temp keeps getting too high and i'm trying to figure out whether it's the radiator or the water pump. I checked for leaks but couldn't find any. The radiator cap also seems fine. If I drive it for about 10 miles the temp rises and gets pretty close to overheating unless I drive it really easy without giving it too much gas on acceleration. If I let it idle the temp also goes up. The radiator fan seems to be working as well.

I'm thinking it's either the Water Pump or the Radiator. Does anyone know where the water pump is supposed to be located on the 85 Accord?

 

sounds like your thermostat

 

i have the opposite problem. after i got a new distrubitor, cap n rotor, time belt, bal shaft, and water pump.....my temp goes down when i start driving for about 5min and the warm air now turns to cool. those guys that did the work messed it up. how can i fix this? where is the problem?

 

it's not my thermostat. I took that out and replaced it with a new one. The temp is still getting hot.

 

is the timing belt connected to it?

 

the water pump is driven by the timing belt

edit: is it possible you have an air bubble in the system?

are your electric fans working? My friend has a 89 accord and his fans were not working and his would do the same thing. (this is 01accordv6 on my brother's name)

 

Problem seems like thermostat is stuck closed.
Replace it with OEM thermostat it is fail-safe ( when it fails it's at open position).
