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?
How about water pump
If you can't see any water leak, then it's going into the cylinders via a blown head gasket, and then out the exhaust as steam.
Most likely a head gasket failure.
Sounds like your t stat is up side down.
The cooling system is supposed to be a closed system so if you have to constantly add more liquid, you have a leak.
If it is not disappearing externally ( which you would see as a puddle under the engine ), it is disappearing internally. That means it is either mixing the engine oil ( look under the oil cap and pull out the engine oil dipstick, does it look similar to a vanilla milkshake? ) or it is being burned inside the cylinders ( is the exhaust smoke white? )
- I have a 2006 Honda Metropolitan, WHen cold it starts up but i have to keep revving it to keep it going? I have already replaced the battery, air filter, spark plug, did an oil change, got new gas, cleaned out the carb. Once it is warm i have no issues with it. It usually takes about 3 to 4 min of driving it to get it warm but once warm everything is fine with stopping and going.
- Why does my fuse keep blowing in my cigarette lighter when it exceeds the factory specs? I bought a Satechi sound-fly AUX FM modulator, which plugs into my cigarette lighter. It includes a 500mA fuse and a replacement. Both of these blew out. I tried a 2 Amp and a 5 Amp. They blew out as well. I drive a 2003 Honda CR-V, and the lighter is 12V.
- Why is my car overheating? - 2 Back in June, my 2002 Honda Civic began to overheat every day. Repair shop put a new thermostat in and it ran perfectly. Problem solved! Or so I thought. It ran fine for about 6-8 weeks. Then it started overheating again out of nowhere. Another new thermostat was put in, thinking the old one may have been defective. My car ran fine for another 6 weeks or so and then it started to overheat again out of the blue. What the heck? Repair shop is puzzled.
- Why is my car overheating? - 1 I just replaced my thermostat in my 95 Honda civic, it fixed the problem for a few hours but when I went home and let it sit for a few hours and got back into it, it overheated within 5 min. I checked the oil, coolant, and there was plenty. However my fan was not turning on, and my heater was cold. So I wired the fan to the battery only because I needed to make it home and it turned the fan on but it didn't stop or fix the overheating. The fuses are good too… Please help!
