Civic doesn't warm up.

did you get all the flush out, cause that shit doesn't have good cooling properties...its designed to only be ran through the system for a max of 6 hrs of driving.

Yea I got all of it out. When its just idling it runs at normal temp but as soon as I start driving it cools down within about 5 mins.

Some thermostats are designed to stay open once they go bad, so that the car doesn't overheat.

I had the same problem. So I just put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator and now it runs at normal temp.

i did this also i have half my radiator covered with cardboard and it still goes no other then a quarter of the way with a new honda thermostat so dont listen to "barefoot" because he is just mad because he didnt think of it first
