today has sucked from the time i got up pretty much.
first, i was supposed to meet a guy about buying my rear interior ive been trying to sell for about 4 months. he was supposed to give me a call around 3 but never did, so i waited around forever. not too big of deal..so i decide to take my girl out for some ice cream and wanted and icee but the machine was broken, oh well. got out of there and found somone broke up this plastic peice on the driverside door jam..ok. i fixed that when i got home.

now for the worst part. i dropped my girlfriend off and on the way home my car feels kind of 'off'. i get home and turn the key off,then i start it back up right after and it bogs and dies within a second or two. i try to start it again and it fires up just fine and idles normal. i decided to take it around the block and i go through the gears..shifting at around 6 and it still sounds and feels off. i pull over and pop the hood to check for any noticble problems........none. motors idleing fine also. OH probably should have said by now i have a 96 b18c1, pretty stock- just cold air intake and aem cam gears, sorry. well anyway i close the hood and drive off. now everything sounds and feels just fine. powers all there and exhaust note is normal. i get back home and pop the hood and leave the motor running, then im standing near the front passenger side wheel and notice lots of air coming from the radiator blowing right on me, then the fan stops turning. now im inside confused and writing honda-tech about it. any help appriciated. no thanks to konw it alls that wanna talk sheeeit

temp gauge is not working?? fix it......

sounds like your low on coolant. probably have a hole in the rad somewhere......

 

this get anyones light going...

this morning i went to start my car and it did the bog and then die after a a second or two i mentioned. i tried again and it did the same thing. then i started it and gave it gas and kept it running by using the throttle..after thaat it runs fine. also ive started it about 10 other times today and its fine...also runs just fine.
fuel pump maybe? thanks again

 

sounds like a hole in the raditior, it's stalling because of a ton of air bubbles in the coolant system
