Honda civic 96 lx overheating?
My car has been overheating for a week now, but it only overheats while I'm at a stopped sign, and then it goes right back down. Never reaches the red line. When I turn on the heater, the temp gauge also goes back down. I have changed the thermostat, radiator, and water pump, plus timing belt, but it still overheats. Fan that is connected to the radiator does kick on while running, and I as well stopped in a parking lot waiting for the car to overheat, takes it time, and when it did, fan was still on. What can it be? Can it be a head gasket issue, or something else?
Sounds like a bad fan clutch. The fan should engage when stopped.
Did you ever consider checking your A/F levels? Just because everything is ticking right doesn't mean it has the tools to do so. You might have an air bubble somewhere in there. Along with that a cracked hose or an opening in the system. If it was a bad H/G your car would smoke and have trouble with ride smoothness.
Are you sure its overheating?
- 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 Honda Civic keeps overheating and accelerates very slow? I have Honda Civic 98 EX coupe, and it overheats very quick, i replaced a leaking hose, i got the headgasket replaced, a new thermostate and it still overheats, the car also doesn't accelerate at the rate it should, i could have my foot flooring the gas pedal but it will take forever to eve reach 60 mph.
- 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.
