1990 Honda accord overheating.

I have a 1990 Accord Ex 5 spd that keeps overheating.
I had the radiator rodded and flushed, there's no themostat in the car the fans run fine so why is it still overheating?

have u checked the water pump? it could also be the ignition timing... also make sure you have 50/50 solution on your cooling system

Have you bled the air out of the system?

I would also check the temperature sensor the fan will still work just not at the right time.

u mean when u driveing, the temperature jump up at the redline suddently right? not going up slowly? if jump up suddent it mean u didn't bled the cooling system right, they still have some air inside. there has a small bleder on the top of the water hose housing relax it and refill the cooling. let see work or not
