Re: 91 Honda Civic Overheating...
Thanx guys. The thing I don't understand is the car isn't loosing any performance. No pinging, like the first time when the car overheated. My bro had a haynes manual and said he did the tests to see if the head was warped as explained in the book. (I have no idea what that includes.)
anyone think it might be a problem with the Temp Sending Unit? Also, I don't get why after evertime I change the thermostat it's fine for a few months. I'm going crazy. I don't have the $$ the continue fixing this car. I may just get rid of it.

Re: 91 Honda Civic Overheating...
Try replacing the radiator cap and if you haven't done so already (I replace
mine everytime I change coolant. it's cheap a few dollars). Anyway, if you
know what you are doing test the temperature sending unit of the cooling
system. On mine, it's located on top of the thermostat housing (98 accord).
If the car is not overheating but the temp sending unit show it is, it
should be fine after it's been replaced.
If you can't find the TSU, do some googling and try to find its location. In
the meantime check in here, you'll probably get more advice.
