overheating problem!
I have tried a few different things but nothings working. Ive changed
the thermostat then I noticed a hole in a hose that runs to the heater core which was leaking antifreeze so I assumed this was the problem....no it wasnt. I checked the pressure in the radiator everything was ok, but no change. The car gets hot real fast. I let it idle for about an hour and it was fine but as I drove it got too hot. What is this? -- Posted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com/1993-Honda...forum-143.html interface |

I guess you could rebuild it, but often you will get a lifetime warranty if you buy a new one. Depends where you buy it though I suppose. MK |
