Car overheating problem
Ok so I have an 02 honda civic and for the past couple months my car has been overheating intermittently. When I'm driving around town it is fine but whenever I drive it for longer periods of time and I get stuck in traffic or at a red light the temperature starts to rise. I use to be able to turn my heater on and it would drop the temperature down, but now when I'm idling the heater blows cool air until I start driving again. When I'm driving my car on the highway I do not have an overheating problem it is only when I'm stopped or stuck in traffic. The heater only helps so much now. I have already changed the radiator, both engine cooling temperature sensors, the thermostat, one of the fans which was burnt out the other works fine, and I've fin combed the ac condenser. I don't know what else to do. Someone please help! What else can be the issue with this? I have changed the entire cooling system what else could there be? Could it be the heater core? Or an engine problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
No the heater core won, t make it overheat! You left out something very important! Did you flush out the cooling system, especially the radiator? Flush out the whole cooling system and then bleed the air out so it can circulate!
- Why does my car keep overheating? I have a 1993 Honda civic, it keeps overheating on me and every 20 min I need to put water/coolant. I just put a new radiator, thermostat, gasket and bottom radiator hose. Why is the radiator always empty and overheating?
- 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?
- If My Car is overheating and i turned the heater on the temperature remains stable what could be the problem? I have 1998 honda civic it was good a while back then no long Ago it started overheating and i change the thermostat and nothing changed and then they told Me the catilyzer could be clogged and i fixed it And nothing changed the rare thing about this is that when the temperature valve start going up i turn the heater on and it goes back down to halfways. I've taking it to a mechanic and he couldnt fix it… I need help.
- I have a problem with my radiator and antifreeze, What could be the problem? Hi guys I have a Honda civic lx 97, I bought about 7 months ago, since then I have bought a new radiator because the old one had a huge leaking problem, anyways I never new How long a gallon of antifreeze could last me. I now know I use too much (I've bought two gallons once the first time i changed the radiator, again today[spand time of 4 months]) antifreeze I don't see any leakage, what could the problem be?
