    Temperature goes way up...

    As you can see from my username, I have a 93 Honda Accord with an h22a swap. Could it be because there's a leak in our radiator, that the temperature goes up? It's a very small leak, but it's still a leak. (Just got enough money to get a good radiator). We changed our thermostat to a new one, last year, we changed it twice because first, the Bosch thermostat wasn't the same size. And then we got a genuine Honda one. The temperature on the gauge, goes up when it's either REALLY hot outside and I'm using my A/C at the same time. OR when I go to long drives that are 50+ miles. Any takers on what the issue might be? Thank you!!

      Oh awesome! I didn't think of the head gasket. That actually might be the fix I need.

        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

            your not putting the thermostat in backwards are you?. and does your fan turn on once your motor gets hot?. you may even have air in your system especially if you have a leak it will always get hot.

              Check the fuse to the fans. If it goes hot when you turn on the AC, then it's either the fuse or the fan relay. Turn the AC on with the hood open to see if both fans working.

                  yeup, check all that and bleed the system
                  What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                  You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
