1996 Honda Civic coolant not flowing?
My Honda has had random random radiator hoses literally busting lately. We thought it was just old hose problems till another popped and we heard it. The gauge in the car isn't reading hot but does after running for a while. The coolant is not circulating at all. The radiator iself is steaming. There's no signs of a blown head gasket at all. The radiator nor the hoses are leaking. What is the problem?
The radiator may not leak but it may have blocked tubes. You can try a radiator flush. But you know what circulates the coolant… The Water Pump. You can remove the thermostat to ensure that is not the problem. Your car will run cooler. Just replace when you fix the problem. It's either going to be the radiator or water pump is bad.
What Geo said I agree but the radiator cap releases pressure way before blowing hoses. Get a new one. Also this could be a head gasket leaking into the cooling system pressurizing it. Get that thermostat out. See if that helps.
Replace the thermostat and flush the engine and radiator. Make sure you install the thermostat correctly.
You need to have a "block test" done to determine if the head gasket is bad. Sounds like you have an air pocket in the motor and it's over heating. The temperature gauge is not accurate when an air pocket is in the motor.
- What's the deal with honda not being able to use coolants with silicates if it makes the coolant better and safer for the engine. Reason? Is it for a reason or just honda wants our cars to last shortly? Any more answers i was checking out that video then checked and notice newer cars don't use the coolant anymore so what's the deal we have to go back to inferior coolant i've read it eats the seals in cars? Any more information?
- How can I stop water from flowing back into my Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet when the heavy duty hose attached gets blocked? I have a 1000l take of water attached to a Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet, alongside a heavy duty hose I use to water window boxes around London. When I park up the van and have to cross the road to water certain jobs, the pipe is occasionally temporarily blocked when a car runs over the hose pipe. This sends water back to the pump, and eventually breaks it. What can I do to stop the water/ pressure breaking the pump?

- Why is my 2001 honda civic loosing coolant? I have a 2001 honda civic Ex 1.7L. It is rapidly loosing coolant and I have no idea why. I have taken it to 3 professionally owned shops for the same reason and all three can't find anything wrong with it as far as leaks. My next best guess is that it is burning it somehow but I can't think of why. I did buy a new radiator cap and ill see how that works and there isn't any white smoke coming out of the exhaust so I don't think it is the head gasket.
