Runs good, but just have driving for about 5 mins and the car get warm, the
car idles up down, up down, up down and up down......keeps going like this.

---------------------------------

Start by filling the coolant reservoir to the MAX level and check it
each time the engine is cool. You'll probably find it will sip some to
displace air in the system. Tap water is called Hondacide. Use Honda
premix. It's foolproof, and you won't be using much.

The coolant is full to the max and now not dropped an inch.
