Hey wats going on HONDA EXperts. IM a girl looking for answers!
Well i have a Honda civic 1997 DX. I recently replaced the radiator because my old on cracked due to overheating issues and it was old. So:
-i went ahead and replaced the thermostat because it continued overheating. it kept overheadig until the waterhoses busted.
-i replaced the waterhoses. it seemed like the car was building up excessive pressure. i noticed everytime i would take off the cap of the radiator.
- the problem continued. so i replaced the water pump thinking maybe it was the problem
- it continued with the excessive amount of preassure, i will notice because the hoses will get real swollen
-at this point i left it alone i had ran out of ideas!!!
Quick facts... the radiator fan is rig because i wouldnt turn ON on its own so it always turns on as soon as i turn on the key ! i tought maybe the sensor is out. AND my biggest problem for now and i REALLY want to fix if possible, the temperature GAUGE on the dash doesnt work at all it has been on cool the whole time its like it doesnt read it.
PLEASE HELP!! wat do i replace? MY motor is fine AUTOZONE test it with that computer they have. they say it is the coolant system ... so wat else do i do? ???
