Replaced the temp sensor? "Burped" the system? Sure the thermostat is in the right way? You can even try running without the thermostat to see if that helps.
A few questions first...are you sure its overheating and not just a bad temp sensor? is yes then how many miles on car? if over 90K than did you have the water pump replaced with your timing belt?Is your fan coming on at all? Is your radiator full?If your water pump has been changed and your radiator is full and your fan is working properly and you have a new thermostat then you should take your radiator off and have it flow tested to make sure its operating properly, and no you cant just pour water through it to tell if its working properly.
Remove and raise upper hose at thermostat end and remove lower rad hose. Fill rad with a hose and watch for flow from bottom rad hose and/ or bottom rad hose connecton.......water should fall though rad easily. Honda rads are cheap.....any restriction....replace rad.
Remove thermostat....fill thermostat housing with hose and watch for water flow at bottom rad hose. Flush good.
Remove heater hoses.......flush back and forth until a good flow is present "With heater control set to hot" if no or poor flow....replace heater core.
Stop leak can plug everything.
Also.......not likely causing over heating....but ....at your mileage,if you do not know if the timing belt has been changed.....CHANGE IT NOW! Water pump is optional at this mileage.
you did not state whether or not your electric fan is coming on all the time, check to see if your fan is operating properly , check all fan switches and temp sensors that are in the fan circiut... also check to see if your bottom hose is not collasping, and one more thing also since you have had the system open, some systems operate in reverse flow and need to be bleed of air pockets, look for a bleeder screw around the thermostat housing or pump housing... please rate my help , thanks
