Hi, this is a common problem on honda, best advice is that you skim head and block.

Your positive that the radiator temp sensor is accurate? And what do you mean by hot? Range preferred, and also what it usually goes up to after driving 5km Also did you check the fan motor and the Temp switch? to turn on the fan?

My 1996 Nissan bluebird had all the cool system replaced but is still boils the temp says its cold i need help to find out why it boils over

Looks like you have a leaking head gasket or cracked head. You can buy a head gasket leak detector kit that will let you know if there is CO2 gas escaping through the radiator. I think that it is this gas leak that makes it look like your radiator is boiling.

Why is my 1989 Toyota Cressida overheating?

sounds like you have a head gasket gone bad. these cause overheating and the compression gases cause the air in the system and to boil out of the system. as such will cause the heater not to blow hot air, as steam will contain heat very long. the white smoke upon start up is a tell tale sign that the gasket has blown and needs replacement. have a head gasket test done. it could also be a cracked head or even a block, but head gaskets are a problem.

Car runs hot when driven but fine while idling. Replaced radiator, hoses, thermostat

You would probably be better off replacing the belt and pump again since the labor would be next to nothing.
I would want to test the cooling system for exhaust gas and try to verify the head gasket is actually leaking next.
Are you loosing coolant into the cylinders ? There may be something else causing the engine to run hot such as exhaust problems.

Kia carnival 1999 v 6 over heating already replaced radiator cap, water pump.thermostat

check radiator is not blocked, check air can pass through radiator (fins not blocked with debris) check that there is no airlock in system. is header tank being pressurised when engine running ( remove cap and start engine, look for bubbles in header tank). If bubbles then you need to check head gasket or even crack in head or cylinder walls. Presume you fitted the thermostat in the right way round. if you have boiled the engine since fitting the thermostat you will probably need to remove it (maybe see if it boils without it fitted) and possibly replace it again. (drop in hot water and see if it opens, if it doesn't then replace it)

1996 Honda Passport overheated. Heater started only hot air when moving, then would go cold at stops two days ago. When it overheated today, a lot of steam came out of the radiator cap. I noticed the...

Ususally when the heater blows hot air only when the car is at hight RPM is because low coolant in the system. It sounds like a bad thermostat . In the worst case you need to do a diagnostic check to the head gasket. Because the first thing to get blowen out when the car over heat are the head gasket.

Water cooling system problem...

It's possible that the thermostat is defective.
Also check that the overflow hose and resivour are not cracked.
Check the engine oil, if it looks foamy then you may have a cracked head.
