2001 civic overheating?
I have a 2001 honda civic 1.7L SOHC VTEC. I changed the timing belt, water pump, radiator w/fans, thermostat, head gasket, but the car is still overheating. Main issue I'm having that is noticeable is that coolant keeps on bursting out of the radiator like a volcano; (bubbling) with the fan kicking in. It doesn't cool down. Any help will be appreciated.
Don't no
You've pretty much done everything you can do. The only thing I can think of is doing a pressure test, where you hook up a rubber hose to your radiator, then you pump the rubber ball at the end to check for leaks.
Flush and bleed the coolant. Pressure test the system for leaks. Pressure test the radiator cap. Which are the first things you should have done.
I have answered your question having been with motor cars for the last 50 years and had this very same problem several times.
- Why is my 1998 Honda civic lx still overheating? I've replaced the thermostat, water pump, timing belt, flushed the radiator and done a coolant test to check for gasses and all is good. The fan is wire up so it automatically comes on when ignition is turned on and is blowing the correct way. Do I need to try a new radiator cap or radiator? Engine light is on but it's for a 02 sensor. Any help is appreciated.
- I'm driving a 96 honda civic and my car has been shaking and overheating? I have check for leaks and everything is fine but i do have a rusted spark plug, i'm wondering if that may be the cause of shaking and excessive overheating to the point i'm driving with the heater on all the time. Can anyone let me know if the spark plug is the problem and if i replace this one rusted plug will the car drive back normally?
- My 2001 Honda Civic is overheating and I can't figure out why? I have replaced the radiator cap, coolant reservoir, and thermostat. Also, I check the fans at various times and everytime they are running fine. Lastly, I'm not sure if this information helps, but I live in southern Louisiana where it is almost always hot. I'm a poor 25 year old female college student and I have no idea what else to do.
- Honda civic thermostat overheating? Honda civic sport 1,6 2005 Recently my dial starting going over 3/4 and I had it checked at a garage and he said everything was fine and couldn't find a problem. That was probably a year ago. Today it done it again for the first time. I'm not 100% sure were to put more water and engine coolant in. Can someone help me out?
