I had all the work done less than 6 months ago. It just started yesterday. I got out to see if there was any fluid any where, there was none, or any smell or smoke. Everything looked normal no swollen pipes of any kind. The gauge doesn't go all the way to the H when it moves from the center it is about halfway to the H if that makes any sense, It drops back down to normal (in the middle) when I slow down to 65 what could be causing this?
My 97 civic runs hot when i go over 70 mph. I have had all the hoses, pipes, radiator and thermostat changed.?
Hi, could be the air con at the front of the radiator is partially blocking the air flow to the radiator. When the fins are bent over they don't permit air to cool the radiator.Also get the hydrostatic fans checked and ensure they are operating. Hope this helps Brett

well, first off make sure you got enough coolent and the right mixture.
then replace your radiator cap, a bad cap can cause too little or too much pressure, once the engine is cool, open the radiator start the engine, wait a few minuts (or near operating temps) and see if the water is swirling and getting sucked down with throttle. if it doesnt its one of three things, a bad water pump, a bum thermostat or even a clogged radiator (say it sucked up some muck from the old coolent)
also make sure the engine isnt windnig out more than usual, or it can be a slippage problem.
good luck.
it's working fine, but the coolant many need to be checked for air in the system and or coolant mix ratio of anitfreeze to water 50/50 for example.... most places will test it for free takes less then 30 seconds
Have you checked the water pump? Make sure you have enough flow, because at 70 you are at a higher RPM and at lower RPM the flow may be good enough. Just a tought.
your problem could be oil related as well ...check that lately?
oil pans have %26quot;windage%26quot; trays that funnel the oil to the pickup increased speeds prevent adequate oil flow
Could be a head gasket. Is there water in the oil? Is the oil a funny color or greyish?
make sure the fan is working.
recheck the ingnition timing and advance if it is advancing to much could be the cause
