@ihat3h1tmark3rs Yup, new radiator or thermastat? You can also check the hose to make sure there's no vibrating which could mean the coolant is boiling - which in turn means your radiator is losing pressure. I just had to have my radiator replaced in my Saturn after 10 years because it was leaking and causing it to lose pressure very quickly.
yea bro that sucks same shit happening to me right now dont let it over heat all the time cus yor hoses can only take so much heat they could melt or you can blow your headgasket and that would be shitty
I had mine heating without coolant and I never saw it happening. during traffic, the engine started making a very different noise(s) than usual. by the time I realised it was too late and that was the last time i had to shut off the engine.
Pressure test it, itll leak out of radiator if its full of holes, and will drop pressure on the gauge over time. Also, check radiator cap to see if its worn and rusty, if it is, replace it. Check the water pump, and check if the cooling fans are running by connecting a mini jumper from the positive side of the battery, to red cable running to fans motor. If the fans are working fine, its could be te thermostat, simply follow the bottom radiator hose to its bolt housing and replace it.
i had this problem and it was two things actually...first the radiator was blocked..only a few channels were clear and also the fans would not come on automatically..and since the car was not moving(no airflow) it would over heat. best of luck
i remember when i had a 91 CB7 coupe and it had a blown head gasket lol when it would overheat on the road i would put it in nutural and turn the key to acc and "drive" like that till i had a stop, started the car got up to speed and repeat the process lol
Make sure the fans are working. When the car moves it gets air across the radiator cooling the hot coolent. When it stops the fans should kick on to cool the coolent.
hey. i need some advice. i have a 1998 mitsubishi eclipse gs. i just had my thermostat changed. my temperature guage reads that its slightly overheating but the car is not really over heating because im driving and the guage moves up a lil and then when i keep going it goes back to normal and then it goes back up a lil bit. could it be a problem with the guage?
i got that issue also. i did water pump and caps. but i was going to do water pump but the water pump doesnt pull coolant to the radiator. and in ur case ur radiator is completely empty i bet. same with mine. give ur car about another 20k miles and u will see oil in ur coolant like mine did. to save u the time go replace the head gasket.
is it really overheating? My car does the same thing, but its because the gauge is bad. When I turn my headlights on, the dash lights make the circuit board on the back of the cluster ground out through the temp gauge. I tested it, and made sure my cooling fan comes on at the right time.
Old video, but I would have taken a stab at it being your cooling fan not turning on for one reason or another. Fuse, relay, wiring, or the fan motor itself. It's one of the most common causes of overheating when you are not moving. Did you ever find out what was causing it?
Did they actually check if the engine parts got enough oil? By this I mean the amount of oil running INTO the engine, not the amount of oil you still have. An engine will tend to heat up/overheat when metal rubs metal without enough oil (this will be indicated as overheating too). Maybe worth to check?
@xxnissansilviaxx I had taken it to the dealership 3 times prior to making this video. It did it while i was standing there with a mechanic...technician whatever. They changed, water pump, thermostat, and other sensors. It continued to do it, and they refused to do anything about it. So I made this video as proof that 1. It was still happening. 2. It was still under warranty.

First off man. I had taken it to the dealership 3 times prior to making this video. It did it while i was standing there with a mechanic...technician whatever. They changed, water pump, thermostat, and other sensors. It continued to do it, and they refused to do anything about it. So I made this video as proof that 1. It was still happening. 2. It was still under warranty.
I took it to the dealer over a dozen times. But they were unable to find the actual problem, while it was under warranty. After the warranty expired i took it back when i realized my secondary fan never ran, even when my AC compressor was running. Parts replace from my wallet ... 1.water pump 2. fan motor 3.head gaskets/machined head 4. timing belt/tuneup. Stopped overheating at this point. 1 month after having my heads done my belt jumped timing.... I have a brand new civic si now.
Probably the fan is not kicking in, hence the reason it cools while driving that's a possibility and i hope that's it otherwise you're screwed then it's time to do the more expensive approach.
@Shadowschool i would like to dissagree with u. i think a car individually like my truck. 21 years running strong. but the chevy like mine down the road. broke down sittin on blocks. i dont like to go by brand i go by weather its a good car or not.
@Shadowschool Yea with all new suspension and a bunch of other stupid shit . American cars = well built cars with spotty engines. Japanese cars = Well built (although weak) engines and shitty car. I have seen 20 year old american cars with all ball joint and axle rubbers in tact. Cant say that for the forigen cars.....
@Shadowschool Welp not in this case, and he said it was a Honda. So you're wrong on two fronts which surely shows you're a bias idiot who knows very little, like most people on youtube.
quickest thing to check for is a blockage in front of the radiator. if it's not flowing air through it it's gonna heat up real fast. so look for a bag or something that would stop air flow.
If you blip the gas really quick in neutral at a stop light (to about 4500-5000 rpm) then let it go back to idle, your engine will cool itself off by getting coolant circulating quicker through the engine.
that worked for a while...but the local honda dealership in Hattiesburg, Ms refused to fix it.... When i traded in my 04' civic ex with 131000 miles on it... they gave me over 6 grand for it, and no, they didnt hike the price on my new car.
after checking fan, radiator, thermostat, hose, and fuses..... break down and have you head gasket checked. i had a non honda man look at it and diagnosed it in 2 hours. and fixed it with a full tune up including timing belt for under $1000 cash. My head just had to be remachined, and problem solved.
wheres the check engine light? , it could be so many things. Head gasket, cracked radiator, radiator fan, water pump, busted hose, thermistad..... if ur lucky its a busted hose, if ur not then its a blown head gasket... good luck
i was very disappointed with my local dealership.... but it was indeed a blown headgasket..... BUT in words to honda. I drove it that way for 30,000 miles. lol. and the head wasnt cracked.
you might have a stuck thermostat. Go take your car in for a radiator flush and get a new hot weather thermostat installed. I bet you have no more problems. Unless something is wrong with the car Honda isn't prone to overheating.
blown head gasket? honda? not even 100,000 miles? surprising.
