lud Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 hello, i have a 94 accord ex which is overheating and i don't know why? When I start the car is running ok, after driving it for a while on a regular street i'm goin on the hwy for about 10 mins. After i get of the highway on the first light... when the car is on idle the temp. in the engine start rising. As soon as i start driving, the temperatrure goes back down to normal.My fans are working when i get the out of the ignition, and the coolant in the radiator is full. what might be my problem. no check engine light is on. !??!!?>_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarsux Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Try a new thermostat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 If you run it until there is a CEL, then you'll have another problem. Check your thermostat, as above mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 if your car is hot , and no heat comes out of the vents , its a thermostat sticking shut. if car wont heat up and theres lukewarm to hardly heat , its stuck open. if you have heat , and car is overheating , could be a fan relay , low on fluid , plugged rad or coolant hose somewhere. could be toher things but this is good start for ya , lol.
