Use the bleeder port to be sure you don't have any trapped air.

If you don't have trapped air, suspect a faulty thermostat. Suggest replacing w/ OEM. Make sure installed correctly (right side upstream).

good luck

I am having the same thing happen to my 96 TL 2.5 I have tried everything to find why this is happening.If you find out what the solution is. Please let me know.

possibly the temp sensor on top of the water pipe right next to the upper radiator hose. It's really hard to say what is wrong without looking over the car in person

well its been with my mechanic for like a week now and he has not figured out whats wrong he thinks it might be that the radiator vents are clogged up . but idk im kinda disappointed with acura right now

this was a problem to me to, it goes pass the middle and goes back down..i fix the problem, by just driving till i hit the middle part with no ac..then i pop the hood and bleed the valve..theres air in it..

and i just let it settle till it hit the middle temp. and tight it back up

zypkode

When you bleed the valve is the Car turn on or off? Is the Transmission in Drive position with the hand brake on?Or does any of these things matter?

kobejunior

Are you still having problem with your temp gauge ? ^^

KrayzieDxC

im not having any problems now after the fix i did. you have air in your system

KrayzieDxC

i drive the car with no AC. once it get to the middle temp,..i drive back home(or you can rev it till you see it hit the middle gauge)..i lose the bleed valve to let the air out..once you stop seeing the fluild coming out tight it back up and it be solve

Check the Radiator Fan Switch on the Radiator.If it is not connected or Working. The Temp Gauge will rise.I just had to replace my Radiator and my Radiator was plugged with something that wasn't the Radiator Switch.A Ten Dollar part caused my Radiator to Overheat and EXPLODE.I will report back in the coming Weeks if the overheating problem is Fixed.

I don't know about the 3.2's, but the 2.5's have two places you need to bleed the air from, I learned it the hard way when I changed my coolant a while back, had the same symptoms because I only bled it from the thermostat. After I did it properly it hasn't happened since.

I had my 96 TL 2.5 looked at. I am being told my problem is A Radiator Fan Control Module.I am told it is located behind the Glove Compartment.I am told it is a Dealer Item only.If I learn more I will post it.
