It may sound like a simple question... Was the radiator cap replaced when the radiator was replaced? If not, start there. If it was, check to see if the coolant in the radiator looks like peanutbutter or if the oil on the dip stick looks the same. It could be a blown intake gasket, bad head gasket or a cracked head.

SOURCE: 95 honda accord V6 tachometer jumping and cutting out.

I had the same problem with my 1995 Honda Accord V6 2.7L a year ago. It was a pain to have Honda diagnose the problem because it was intermittent and every time I took my car in to the dealership they said they couldn't reproduce the problem, but the longer you wait the more frequently your tachometer will fluctuate. I finally stopped by the dealership when the tachometer was jumping and they were able to diagnose the problem. In my case there was a faulty resistor in the ignition coil, but the entire ignition coil needs to be replaced. I don't know anything about cars but I know this fixed my problem. I went directly though Honda's service center so I know they charged me more than an independent repair shop but I'm looking at my invoice now and I paid $150 for the ignition coil and $200 for labor. After Honda diagnosed the problem I searched for "1995 honda accord ignition coil tachometer" and found that other people had the same problem and replacing the ignition coil was the fix. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: need to replace radiator in 1997 honda accord se. what are the steps?

First drain radiator by opening drain valve,"located on bottom corner usualy the right,but not always." If you open the overflow or remove cap this will happen much faster.For safety sake disconnect ground wire from battery,the radiator is locked down by top cover that attaches to body with generaly 4 bolts, upper and lower hoses have to be disconnected and if it is automatic the transmission cooling lines are connected in stacked fashion,"one above the other."The cooling fan has to be unplugged and it should be removable at this point,"when unplugging fan be carefull with connector so it doesn't break.reverse steps to replace making sure the bolts go in the right place and it all fits properly.the thermostat,"located behind the kneck of upper hose," should be replaced after connecting lower hose because in order to fill the block up and prevent damaging thermostat the block shoud be filled with coolant before attaching upper hose.

1994 Honda Accord DX radiator is blowing out antifreeze and car won't start.

Pull the plugs out and then crank the engine over if water comes out of the plug holes you have a busted head gasket which would give you compression in the coolant system thusblowing out antifreeze as well as overheating.

1995 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder, overheating issues. Only overheats when in stop and go or slow traffic. No obviously leaks from the radiator. It's also brand new. Both fans come on when the temp gauge...

You may have air in the system, find the highest spot in the cooling system .Try open a hose and if there is a bleeder opening that.If it overheating at low speeds it is a water flow problem(volumn). I would suspect a bad water pump or a thermostat stuck partially open.The timing belt drives water pump and if it is loose then that could be a problem.if you replaced the radiator because of rust then the blades on water pump could be worn.Rust is abrasive.

Coolant water tranfer from radiater to resrve tank about half litter every day

SOUND LIKE ENGINE OVER HEATING.ANY TIME COOLANT GOES FROM RADIATOR TO OVERFLOW TANK.REPLACE THERMOSTAT TO SEE IF IT HELPS.THAT CAUSES OVERHEATING MOST OF THE TIME.

My '94 Honda Accord is overheating. The thermostat and sensor have been replaced, radiator is okay, fans are both working, so what might the problem be?

if your sure there is no air pocket hiding in the coolant system,pull the thermostat back out so the coolant doesn't have to reach 195 degrees before letting the coolant flow thru engine,and see if it still over heats,it might be an air pocket or head gasket,doing this will tell you exactly.

Car overheating

"Will start but will not turn over" What the hell do you mean by that ?
If you can start your engine then check the upper coolant hose, this one should get hot first, then, after thermostat opens, the lower coolant hose should start getting hot also, check both hoses every 30 seconds wile the engine warms up to operating temp. If any of the above is out of spec then I would change your water pump.

REPLACED MOTOR AND STILL OVERHEATING WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? CAR HAS NEW RADIATOR

Did you replace the fan? How about the fan switch?

Here is some stuff to read about this system....please let me know what's up!


This switch is the primary controller of the operation of the radiator fan(s) used for cooling. When the coolant in the system reaches a pre-determined temperature, the fan switch closes and completes a circuit. The fans will be brought on. Generally, the switch communicates with the fan relay, although the later PGM-FI cars send the signal through one of the many solid-state controllers first. Do not assume that the switch is the only component in the radiator fan circuit which controls its operation. There are many other components whose failure may prevent the radiator fan from operating. If the fans are not working when the engine is very warm, check the fuses first.
On all vehicles except 1990-95 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes, the fan switch is located in the bottom of the radiator. On 1990-95 Accords (except V-6) and 1992-95 Preludes, the switch is located in the housing at the rear end of the coolant connecting pipe. This is the pipe running along the outside of the engine, just above the oil filter. The switch the only electrical component in the housing. On the Accord V-6, it threaded into the side of the coolant crossover pipe (not next to the bleed bolt) on the transaxle side of the engine.
