Overheating issues

[DB7xsjado]

I was having problems with overheating when my radiator fan stopped working. When it was getting hot it would start hissing near the t-stat, but the hoses are fine. I replaced the fan motor and got it working, then replaced the t-stat and gasket. Then I made sure there was plenty of coolant and took it for a test drive. Everything seemed fine, and I made it to work and back yesterday just fine. Earlier today around lunchtime I drove the car and within a few miles the temp started rising again. And the same hissing noise was coming from the area near the t-stat again.:evil: I never noticed any leaks and all the hoses seem to be in decent shape. Any ideas of what's causing this?

oh and when it overheats the coolant levels go below average..sometimes pretty damn low

Same boat as you bro, my radiator cap even popped off. I'll be working on my car tomorrow so i'll let you know if i find the solution.

damn hondas! I always have shitty luck with their cooling systems!

 

[Suprman91]

did you make sure you didnt have ANY leaks? is your car releasing white smoke?

 

[DB7xsjado]

no smoke..I checked for leaks but I'll check again when I get off at 7am.

man it could probably be the relay under the hood... have you checked the fuses? if those are both straight, it might be the temp sensor kinda under the fuel rail. mine went out & my fans quit working. you're probably losing coolant by evaporation... good luck

sounds like your water pump seized if you replaced your thermostat and its still over heating.
