my cl keeps overheating when i drive more than an hr.... i just got a full tune up, so im rulling out the radiator because that was replaced.
any clues?
and the exhaust is kinda loud, louder than any stock car i've ever heard

 

bad thermostat

 

also check your hoses for any leaks

 

do i need to replace it or can i rest easy knowing that its on red, and keep driving. i also noticed that if i put it in nuetral the temp will go down, and if i drive super slow it'll go down (as in not going past 30 and keeping it under 3k)

 

bad thermostat, and its not good to drive with it in the red just for precautions. tune up or not, it could signify that your car might overheat n then ur in deep shit. just go to acuraautomotiveparts.com and order a new 1 and replace it.

will this work?

 

thermostat or like asian said could be hoses with leaks.

 

Hell no, they are like 15 bucks at autozone.

If you drive your car while it is overheated you could blow your engine.

 

If the thermo checks out, check to see that the fans are turning the way they should. But yeah, thermostat.

 

just look around also, ebay is good but its not always the cheapest way to get parts or other parts. Check discount, pep boys, auto zone or, kragen also.

 

open your coolant resivoir, my hose fell off it before....smetimes its something stupid

 

i had to do a thermostat when my baby ran a fever(temp 3 quarters up)stat had locked up, it's gonna suck but if your stuck(can't pull over) and she's hot blast your heat.have you been using your ac lately if so don'tuntil replaced.

 

even if your hoses look brand new on the outside they could very well be all cracked on the inside.

pinch the hose about evern 8 inches and if you feel a crispy feel you need new hoses. also check all the collars make sure they are all tight


you schould be fine

 

autozone baby

 

untill you get the thermostat you can simply remove it for the time being if you need to drive the car. make sure the car is cold when doing this. after a succesful removal fill your radiator to maximum. you should be set

 

o man i have exactly the same problem but, mines is if keep the car idle for too long it overheats? My dad told me it could be the water pump?? dont know... i thought it might be the thermostat too but I dont know which to change?? o and if i haul lots of ass it over heats also... plz help!

 

Actually, you are half right. Yes, blast the HEAT, but turning on the a/c can be helpful in that it turns on the secondary fan.

My primary fan failed on my civic and the guy at the honda shop said to run the A/C to make the secondary radiator/condenser fan run. It will help, the car will not overheat any worse because of the compressor drag.

Good luck.

 

check your fans are they running? that would cause your car to heat up while idling

 

i guess ill go to autozone on friday to get a new thermostat, hopefully thats whats wrong because im broke........

 

both my fans are working the radiator one and the a/c. and sometimes i turn on the a/c so it wont overheat.. what could it be?

 

it still might be your hoses, check the collars if they are tight.

 

i have it doesnt even leak anywere the only place it leaks from is the top of the little tank that is connected to the radiator from all the heat pressure.

 

ok i got some videos of this weird noise my engine makes......not to sure what its from,

Clucking

 

and my unussually loud exhaust
http://video.freevideoblog.com/video...63A86CCD1B.htm

 

its giving a bullshit "optimizing" video/

 

lol yeah, i just uploaded it. give it some time

 

oh yeah the noise level on these videos are about half of how loud it actually is

 

omg, your car sounds like it wants to retire already.

 

is that one working yet? the clucking video is working but i think the stock exhaust is still optimizing

 

naw waiting for the stock exhaust.

 

leaky leaky?

 

 

wow. red lining your car with no seatbelts how was it after you put the ebay intake?

 

it def got louder after the ebay intake

 

the loud exhaust isnt really your exhaust, its most likely your intake. The clucking noise could be a leaky seal or something, im no expert

 

yea that usually the case when your car starts to breathe better, i don't think that you have to worry about the sound too much but it will get annoying later. But im no expert either but it might be your TB.

 

its not the intake, its been loud like that before i even put on the intake

 

check your TB and it sounds like your car is getting more air from somewhere else. Have you checked all your hoses?

 

Holly Shit... That idle sounds wrecked. It sounds like you have a bad knock or your water pump has failed. Also, has the Timing Belt (TB) been changed? If not, you could have a bad tension pulley or a torn segment of your TB.

As for loud exhaust, I would look to see if your CAT is getting hot. My guess is that it is plugged and has burned a hole in the top or in front of the cat.

To be honest, your car really needs some TLC. You should cease all shit talking and red lining and go directly to the shop and get that shit checked out. Or else...


and

 

water pump and timing belt is new
