i jus got this 90 crx and if its jus sittin there runnin it will get warm but as soon as i start driven it the temp guage will go all the way down and the heat wont b very warm? y?

 

try taking out the thermostat, sounds like its stuck open...when was the last time you changed it?

 

i havent chenged it i jus got it a week ago it needs a bit of stuff like a clutch and wheel bearings but i just aint got money to get them i can do all the work just no money

 

well, if you can take out your thermostat and look at it to see if its stuck open, you have a start. theyre only like 10 bucks for a new one. if its closed, you can test to see if it works correctly by hanging it in a pan of water by a wire or string tied to a knife or something that can go across the pan. get a thermostat, and heat up the water. if it opens at 160-170 farenheit (i think thats the temp off the top of my head) it works correctly. if it doesnt, it doesnt. heh. hope that helps.

 

my friend gots sum honda-tech.com stickers on his **** where can i get sum?

 

might want to spend your money on a thermostat first.

 

Don't really know if removing the thermostat would help, cause on my ZC, I took out my thermostat and it just takes a little bit longer for the temperature to get up to normal. Heat and everything works though.

 

sorry, just to clarify; i didnt mean take out the thermostat and not put it back. just see if its stuck open.

 

plus, hes from nc. pretty cold up there...i run without a thermostat...but i live in arizona

 

I have dual fans that stay on all the time ( haven't had time to wire them to the stock temp. switch ) and without the thermostat in it wouldn't even get warm when I took it to 120 !!! It barly moved, then when back down to " too damn cold". I put the thermostat back in, and it runs in the normal area, where it used to be..

 

thanks having same problem, this has been helpful
