Car heats up after 30min long hwy drive, why?
Ok, so I have a car a 1999 Honda Civic DX Auto. It will run for days, weeks with no problem at all. Not a single overheat but when it's a cold morning. The gauge will not go anywhere near half way. It stays on C all through the cold day. Normal days its at half. After hitting the hwy at average 65mph for about 35min and letting off the gas. It will raise all the way to the H and start smoking. So i have to sit on the side for about 10min and put in more coolant. Its done that both times i did the long hwy drive.
Thermostat is faulty.
It's jammed 1/2 open. So the car is slow to warm up, but then it won't open all the way once the engine is under heavy load, and it starts to overheat.
If there are no leaks, you have a bad head gasket. There are only 2 places coolant can go, on the ground, or into the engine.
Id check the thermostst sounds sticky
- Why is it that some husbands let their wives drive luxury cars while they drive ordinary cars? I've been observing some of my neighbors (one of them is a stay at home mom) and the husbands drive ordinary cars like Honda Accord or Honda Pilot. But the wives tend to drive luxury cars like Acura TSX or Acura RDX (some form of luxury car). What is the reason for this? Why do wives get to drive luxury cars while the husband drives ordinary car? I should say some of them. Its not a problem though but was only curious. The neighbors are Asians actually.

- How long does it take for loan max to repossess your car after your loan due date in Ohio? I took out an $800 title loan on my 2000 Honda Oddyssey (188,000 miles) and I can't make the initial repayment amount of $288 on time. How long will it be before they send someone out to repossess my car? I live in Ohio and I'm really afraid they will repossess it before I can come up with the cash.
