Honda Civic 96 overheating issue?
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 (passenger side) is spinning. Now the overheat doesn't happen everytime I stop. Today, it has only happen twice. Gauge goes up just a little, goes right back down when I start to drive. Can it be the head gasket or anything else that I'm missing? No visible leaks as well, and I did the pressure test to checks for leaks.
DId you have the coolant re-filled at a garage? Are you certain no air pockets exist in the cooling system? In truth, few "shade tree" mechanics properly re-fill their coolant system, most are filled with air. Did you replace the thermoswitch that controls the radiator fan(s)?
Bleed the coolant and flush the engine.
Air lock or fan fault.

- Honda Civic EP2 Gearbox Issue? My Civic EP2 recently got a reconditioned gearbox and clutch last year. Prior to getting the work done, it would make a sort of hissing noise when the clutch pedal was released. After getting the gearbox and clutch replaced, the noise stopped. Fast Forward a year, the noise has started to come back, and is really starting to bug me. Surely it won't need another gearbox and clutch? I paid around £700 for the work last year, which I though would of sorted the issue.
- 99 Honda Civic issue? My neighbor has a 99 Honda Civic with 250k he parked it this time last year when he got his new car. He told me he would sell it to me for $50 since it's older and needs a tie rod. Well today we went to start it and when it starts it squeals very loud by where the serpentine belt is. And he said if you don't keep giving it gas it dies. I kind of sounds like one of the pullys are stuck. He said it ran and drives great when you parked it. Any ideas?
