My daughter owns a 1991 Acura Integra LS. I replaced the radiator last summer and the water pump two months ago. I'm trying to get the car ready for her start of collage in the fall. With the start of summer here in Phoenix the car has started running quite hot. Not to the boiling point but close. Last night I replaced the thermostat. All that was avaiable was a 180 degree. What I removed was a 72 Centagrade which I believe is less than 180. The car is still running hot, this is with out the air conditioning. I ran a compression check to see if there is a leaking head gasket and all cyl are even. As a passing thought I disconnected the radiator hose from the cylinder head to check for water flow. I get very little flow untill the engine is reved up. How much water should flow, has anybody heard of a water pump not pumping, or low flow? Any suggestions. Thanks in advance
