I searched but didn't find any clear answers.
My cb would both
- overheat after highway driving when stopped and idling
- overcool in a variety of situations just driving down the road and take a long time to warm up.
I know this seems contradictory. The temperature of the heat blowing out of the vents corresponded to the temperature gauge - that is it would blow cold when it said cold and hot when it said hot.
It would overheat to about the 3/4 mark and start to go back down with full blast heater on and runs cool at around the 1/4-1/3 point.
I replaced the thermostat with a Honda one and the rad cap with a 16lb generic. It now runs steady at 1/3 point and blows warm air.
I removed a non honda thermostat (came with car) and what I think was the original rad cap.
It has been in the 20s around here which is unusually cold for the area. I'm using 50/50 antifreeze.
What's going on?
I want to drive up to NY (4 hours) but don't want to cause damage and rather have a warm engine.
