Hey ht, got a strange problem causing my car to overheat this morning.
Its a 96 integra Auto
Overheating happens when:
-IN DRIVE at low speeds or stop, but drops when I put it in park or neutral
-driving at a steady rate above 20 drops it as well
Its weird because fans both run &
the temp literally drops as soon as I start gassing it. But what confuses me is why its dropping in park or neutral when I'm not moving, but goes up when I'm not moving in drive.
Any ideas? TIA

 

Hmm, have you done a compression test? When I had my stock cluster in my CRX it would move around just a little up and down up and down randomly. After i switched it out for a GSR cluster it was all good. The crx cluster had like 350k miles on it and the gas gauge didn't work on it either. Could be a bunch of things I'd do a compression test and then start from there.

 

bleed the system. there might be air in it. Or get your radiator checked

 

oh yeah, fail Definitely would bleed the air out of it. just let it warm up with the rad cap off and heat on until it stops bubbling.and add extra coolant

 

or if there is a bleeder use it.

 

If bleeding it doesn't work, you might be looking at replacing the water pump.

 

flush the system.....

 

Funny suggestions...

 

Try flushing your radiator same thing happened on my si I changed thermostat and it overheated again ended up being a clogged radiator got a new one for 35$ so I just replaced it and it's fine now
