You might need a new head gasket. How long do you have your car running until it starts to overheat?

Can you speak english? You have alot of typo errors.

more or less but that's not the point.you think that I need a head gasket. The car runs fine until I stop then it starts goin up then if I move again it starts to go down. but thanks man.

Check ur fans make sure they are operating as they should.. Check to see if u have any clogs in your radiator. Then if everything is in good working order, it might be time for a new water pump..

are you sure you checked the right hose??? back behind the dist., down below it aways..the lower radiator hose- i think off hand.
theres a o ring seal that goes on the thermastat to seal it. with out the thermostat installed it would prob. leak, unless theres alot of silicone.

had a simular prob. with my therm. ... when it starts getting hot turn on the heater full blast and it should help drop the temp.

or poss. the fans

i assume that your not loosing coolant to cuase overheating......

make sure fans come on
swap all hose while your at it
thermostat
new radiator fluid (correct mixture)

and go from there.

Check the fans to make sure there working. I have a friend with a CRX and it did the same thing your describing. It ended up being his fan unplugged.

im 85-90% sure its your water pump..shit happened to me.... whenever i stopped or slowed down...temp would go up....then when im moving its regular..so check your water pump AND radiator as well...also your hoeses and fans

[That1guyN8]

Lets just sum up all the things that need check and/or replaced:

1) fan
2) radiator/fluid
3) water pump
4) thermostat

to che4ck if its your water pump wait until the car is cold then start it up with the cap off if you dont see any flowing water in the radiator then it may be the pump as for the thermostat make sure it out before you start the car to check for the pump but leave the seal im there like there was a thermostat in there first. If you dont see any fluid moving around in there its your pump. If you noticed its not stayin at normal temp its your thermo if both of these dont help its your headgasket be sure to do a cr test on it to confirm it

thank you guys

I checked everything my mechanic told me it was the water pump.I'm glad that it wasn't head gasket or anything that big.Now my question is does anybody know how to isntall a water pump.

[jdmhotness]

get a repair manual for your car, it will be much easier, and usually has pictures

fans

is there a sensor that controls the fan .after how long fan comes on

[91hybridaccord]

Radiator Cap....could be leaking pressure which will cause your car to warm up after sitting.....
