I was waiting for my cousin to get out of work and had my engine running and i was parked for like 7min I guess, when i look down and i see that the temperature had gone close to the red line, like 3 lines away from red line. So i start driving and the temperature drops back down to dormal but like very fast, in a matter for like 15seconds. I pull over again ideled while in drive to see if it would go up again and it did very fast like within 30sec of me being pulled over. I pick up my cousin and drop her home and when i got to my house i let it idle to see if it would do it again but nothing happened, it stayed at normal.
I have I/H/E and have had them for 3-4 months.
Anyone have an idea of whats up with it?

 

Your water pump is kapoot... replace it.

 

cool lol... my warranty covers this right? i have acura care extended warranty...
and how does the water pump just die?

 

Check to see if the fan(s) are coming on. If they don't, hit the AC and see if they do. Could be a bad fan switch also.

 

fans are fine... sometimes they even come on after like a random street race from like light to light and when i turn the car off and lock all the doors, the fans come on for like a cupple of minutes...

 

you are probablly low on coolant

 

haha that would be funny and i would feel very stupid... i didnt think it would be that since i am always up-to-date with maintenance so i thought unless there is a leak i should be fine. But ill check it out in 10 min when i go out.
Thanx for the help guys.

 

So what happen?

 

it wouldn't hurt to lay off the gas a little. i see how you're always posting about your kills around here!

I would check the t-stat first, easy fix. Also, maybe air in the coolant. Bleed the system after you install a new t-stat. If not these two, probably the water pump. Just hope it isn't a head gasket.

 

I'd say air in the lines. That's the most common thing. Water pumps, TS's all are causes but uncommon.

Try to bleed the air out of it first.
