JacobB89 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 So my car got a little warm on temp got home and seen some coolant was coming out thr overflow. So i replaced the thermostat and gasket and flushed it. Seemed everything was running good but today car was sitting still and a/c on today at work and car started getting hot opened hood and there was a little fluid by the overflow and the overflow was at the top. So wondering what it could be ive heard the rad cap or hose collapsing or worst thing headgasket any.help please and thanks Big Wheels Are Like G-Strings...Anyone can put them on but it don't mean they look good.....

OrionStang Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Could be air in the system. Check all the hoses for kinks. Head gasket is a possibility. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-dubs89 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 see if you can have your radiator cap tested to make sure it holds the correct pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatersGonnaHate Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 What year Civic, how many miles? Sounds like it could also be a clogged radiator as well.

getlocivic Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 my old civic work car did this also ( 94 eg hatch) 1st issue was a old radiator hose collapsing ( old hoses are real soft) and a little bit of airlock in the system will virtually stop all flow then i replaced all the hoses and a week later the head gasket went.. bc it was alreeadt stressed..because it got hot a couple time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatersGonnaHate Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Also check the hose that leads into the heater core. That one stopped my buddy dead in his tracks on his EG as well.

getlocivic Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 have you actiually bled the system?? release that little bleeder valve on the inlet of the radiator hose housing.. fill it up till it runs out... run it for awhile let it cool and repeat process.. also radiator cap was 15bux for mine ( same cap same radiator as you.. also radiator cost me 85bux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobB89 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 checked the hoses they all seems good and not collapsing. Got a new rad cap, Let the car cool down for like 3 hours and when i opened the cap pressure shout fluid out the overflow and there was alot of air pressure from under the cap. any ideas. Im leaning more to the head at this point Big Wheels Are Like G-Strings...Anyone can put them on but it don't mean they look good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
