I put on my Spoon TB and Skunk2 IM this weekend. Everything went pretty good except having to plug like 2 things on the IM. Everything runs good no check engine lights, but while I was waiting in line to get to Firebird my temp. went up. It was almost all the way to the top, I turned on my heatere after checking everything out and it kept the temp. down. Any ideas on what could cause the temp. to raise like that? Anything I might of missed? Thanks

Anyone with an idea on why my car would overheat just sitting there and not while I drove it all the way down to PHX. or on the way back home?
On preludes coolant flows through part of the TB and I always end up having some drip out when I pull the IM and TB. If enough gets out coolant level can get low enough to cause overheating issues. However, I have no idea if civic IMs and TBs work the same way.
when u take off the intake manifold a lot of coolant comes out so im sure either u didnt put any in or u didnt put enough in....so when ur car is cool take of the cap and put coolant in it until it fills...then start it up and while its runnin squeze the radiator hose to gets the air pockets out and keep filling as ur doin that..then u should be ok and no more over heatin

I refilled the radiator when we finished, but I didn't sqeeze the radiator line. It hasn't done it since that night so maybe it has finally balanced itself out. Thanks for your guys input, much appretiated.
