let me start by telling you that i am a classic Nissan guy and dont know a whole lot about the honda B series motors.
my Girl has a 87 acura integra, auto with the stock b16 motor. she comes home from work today and the car is overheating, the car will cool down while driving but overheats when sitting (e.g. at a red light or stop sign) the fan kick on for about 2-3 mins then turn off, they only do this once . so i did the usual routine of checking coolant, thermostat and hoses for anything unusual. but i found nothing wrong with these parts. I also checked the fans to make sure that they run normal when voltage is applied. [ posssible bad coolant temp sensor?]
also when the car is cold or the first start of the day, the car idles up real high. about 2k rpm then bounces between 2-2500 for a couple minuets. once the thermostat opens the car idles down to a normal rev and runs fine untill it overheats.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
