ok im about to change the thermostat ..hoping that will be all if not what else could it be.

my friend has the same motor and uits doing the samething and he change the thermostatt,radiator hoses..nexts he going to change the head gaskett and radiator..

 

Your radiator hoses could be affected by the excess heat, so replace them as well. I would do that for sure. Costs almost nothing, but can save you a lot of trouble.

Is your waterpump still ok?

 

Do you have an air pocket in your cooling system? Try bleeding the system.

 

havent checked the water pump yet but thats on my to do list

 

there mint be a pocket ..how do i go about bleeding the system..im new to eg.had a ef before .so im still learning on the eg

 

you should use a Honda thermostat.
autozone/pepboys = junk.

does your radiator fan come on when the motor is running hot? it should....

Let your car warm up until the fan kicks on. The hose from the top of the radiator...follow it to the block and there should be a bleed valve right there. I think it's an 8mm nut. When fluid comes out, close it up.

 

yeah the fan comes on

 

cool i'll look at it once i get it back from paint ..at the end of the month
