Question about 1996 Honda Civic

2 Answers

Overheating My car is Honda Civic Lxi 1996 model. Almost every 3 months I encounter overheating which causes me to send my car to radiator shop always. There is no leak in my radiator so everytime i encounter this i always send my car for radiator cleaning. Most of my freinds who have honda with the same model encounters the same problems. What mmight be the cause and solution for this?

    It started when my coolant reserve tank drain often. Have the radiator and the "cooling system" all cleaned up. Radiator hose & other hoses connected to the cooling system were replaced. Next thing, after about 3 months, my cooling fan got broken. The fan is giving out a loud squeeking sound and was replaced. After about a week, I noticed a sharp rise of the temp nearing red when I was just about 15 miles away from my starting point. Have it cooled down but after about 5 km driving, the temp rose again. I brought it to a car care center and the mechanic says the noticeable leak under the engine indicates that the overheating is not coming from the defective cooling system but rather on the leak on the gasket under the engine. My car is Honda Civic lxi 1996 model.

Honda civic 2008 temperature bar rising when car is in motion and air-cordition is on
Hi Gabriel
This could be as simple as coolant level in the radiator down a bit or (more likely) your thermostat is sticking. I've included a link that pretty much covers the reasons that engines have an overheating issue.

Hope this helps you out.

More then likely you got a blown head gasket, remove spark plugs and crank engine, if water come out of spark plug holes, blown head gasket.Good luck

1996 Honda Passport overheating

It sounds like it may be a stopped up radiator or a possible blown head gasket. You need to take it to a repair shop and have the radiator flow checked and also check for the presence of hydrocarbons in the coolant which would indicate a possible blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head.

1996 honda civic dx is overheating after long highway drives. Is leaking coolant from top hose as well. Hoping it is that easy of a fix. Thoughts? Thanks for help!
try making sure cooling fans are working by jumping them to the battery and see if they turn on. also could be the thermostat not opening and building up pressure.
