ThermostatI had that same issue. Could be due to air still inside not causing the thermostat to not open, try running your heat to see if it heats up pretty quick and if you want to try as an option before getting another thermostat, try adding more coolant while the car is running to circulate the flow and get the air out

i just changed the theo out... It takes like 10 to 15mins to warm up
could it be the head gasket

Would bleeding the coolant system help?
yep but still have to maintain adding coolant to make sure of getting all the air out.. hell this could take up to 30+ mins

change your headgasket and water pump
i guarantee you your car will not over heat or have coolant overflow after you do
have seen this occur in 2 gsrs and my civic
its time to get that headgasket changed buddy
dont beat around the bushes
a buddy told me that it could be the relay for the fan, because his teg did the same thing and it was the relay so i guess that will be the first thing that i do... And the car doesnt over heat when in just driving it, just when i get on it harddamn........
you can test it by bridging it or smell the fuse to see if it smells burnt
Paintless Dent Removal TechnicianCondemnant quod non intellegunt
i was going to switch the a/c relay, because there the same relay, if i smell it burned up and i want to say thank to everyone that is thereing to help me out
does the fan come on, is it leaking coolant somewhere, try bleeding it
your mom loves me
when i changed the theo last saturday, i let the car run for like 15mins and the fans never kicked on and im not leaking coolant and please tell me how to bleed it so i do it right
Shane, just let the car idle with the radiator cap off. If you have air in the system you will see bubbles coming up to the top. As the coolant level goes down just add more. And if your fan does not kick in that is also a problem. You can always jump the fan to where it stays on and see if that does anything.
yea there was bubbies i just thank its that i didnt get all the air out and the fan isnt coming on
Did you let it idle all the air bubbles out? If so, then you're straight on that. As far as the fan goes, if it keeps over heating, unplug the wire from right where the thermostat is and loop it with a short piece of wire. This will keep your fan running constantly. If that fixes the problem than you know you need to get the fan running properly.
no and i let the car run for like 15mins and the fan never came on
plug the fan to the battery or put a switch on see if it turns on or maybe change the plug that sends signal to the fan........
(((((No more 4 door))))))
that shit usualy sends a signal to the fan to turn on it cost like 20 bucks or cheaper thats what was wrong with my hatch and check the front fuse box
(((((No more 4 door))))))
HG or water pump??
i got flow going throw the hose's and there is no water in the oil and no white smoke...
but i found out that the fan isnt kicken on so i thank thats what is wrong... but if you have something you thank else please let me
will do
U need to diag the fan asap it will do the same things your describing.
so what do i need to do then
Pretty much check your fuses relay fan motor and the fan switch. If all those are working u have an electrical issue.
i checked the fuses and relay and still nothing so in going to check the fan motor tomorrow and if it good then im going to straight wire it
DO NOT straight wire.
ill go throw the wiring and check it all and see if i can found whats not letting the fan cut on
fan switch prolly took a shit.
No, just take a paper clip and go to the thermostat housing and take the fan switch connector and jump it and leave the clip in the connector I have done this and lasted yearrrsss no problems... fan comes on when you turn you're key...
But if you are driving and its overheating and boiling over I doubt its you're fan. might have been you're fan at the begining but now it sounds like a Warped head or gasket .....
If you are driving its getting plenty of air , but if you come to a stop like a redlight and it over heats then maybe fan, but while driving and under a hard load sounds more major then simple .
As stated above, jump the switch. If the fan doesn't come on then your fan is dead. I had the same problem.
Also you might want to just flush the system and put a correct mix of coolant in there. Could be boiling over due to having too much water in the system.

A:IMO nos is like steroids and giving steroids to a grandma doesnt sound all that good to me!
u copied me lol
(((((No more 4 door))))))
i would still make sure all the air is out of the system. running with the cap off doesnt always get all the air out. there is also a bleeder valve at the thermostat housing
its was the fan switch and there was air in the lines still... It wasnt the head gasket the oil is fine no milk in the oil and no oil around the head... And after i switched the fan switch i got on it and it didnt over heat or boil, so i guess its fixed i hope
maybe his aint bad enuff to where the coolant is leaking into the oil
i had a bad headgasket and yes i was loosing coolant @ an alarming rate, my oil looked FINE
headgasket was just STARTING to go bad
