    Car Overheating

    I have a 1992 Honda Accord Ex and about a couple weeks ago whenever it would idle for a few minutes it would overheat but when I took off it would cool down. I checked the coolant and I was really low so I filled it up and also got a new radiator cap thinking that was the problem. Just today my car started overheating again when idling.
    Any Ideas???

    Sounds like your fans are not working, are they turning on?

    You need to find where the coolant is going, something is wrong.

        That's usually a sign of a failing water pump.

            could be the temperature switch or an air lock seen has how you just put coolant back into it.

              First you need to figure out where your coolant is going. That is just a symptom that is usually associated with a failing water pump, not saying it IS the pump, but very likely.

                  it could also be a blown head gasket leting exaust into the cooling system . ive had this happen . look for bubbles that keep come up in the coolent and dont stop. also check for like a brown stuff on bottom of rad cap it will be a silky filling and milky looking goo .

                        Thats because your coolant system is low/has air in it.

                            Well first we need to find out where your coolant is going. You need to go rent a coolant system pressure tester from like Autozone or O' Reilly's, and find where the leak is.
