Why could my 2000 Honda Civic show it's going to overheat I have coolant a nee radiator a new temp gauge switch and thermostat could it be?
I need a new timing belt and water pump
Better have a "block test" done before you do a timing belt. You may need a new head gasket.
If the cooling system won't hold pressure it will boil over. High pressure raises boiling point to higher than 220 degrees F. Your pressure loss could be in many places- leaking water pump, leaking hose, peaking radiator cap, blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head. Since you need a timing belt and water pump, that is priority on the list, but see to it this job is worth the trouble. If the head is cracked or head gasket bad, it will still be a $1500-$2000 problem needing repair after you spend $200-$400 for a new timing belt and water pump. Have your radiator cap checked and pray that's the only problem.
