SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A CLOGGED RADIATOR WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GO DOWN TO AUTOZONE OR YOUR LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORE AND AS FOR A RADIATOR FLUSH KIT AD JUST FLUSH YOU RADIATOR.. you should also check your your head gasket you might be mixing oil with your antifreeze, a simple compression test might answer some question for you If your car is automatic, you may have had the trans cooler tube in bottom radiator tank start leaking trans fluid into the cooling water.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on a 1991 Honda prelude Si?
one is located at the thermostat housing. the other is in the bottom of the radiator.
Where is Coolant drain on an 88 Honda Prelude?
On a 1988 Honda Prelude, the coolant drain is typically located at the bottom of the radiator. Look for a petcock or drain valve on the lower right or left side of the radiator, which can be opened to allow coolant to drain out. Additionally, you may also need to drain the engine block, which can be done via a drain plug located on the engine block itself, usually at the lower part of the engine. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting to drain the coolant.
Your 89 Prelude overheats after replacing a heater hose you also slightly collapsed one of the brass heater core inlet pipe you have previously replaced all hoses radiator thermos Is air the prob?
Engine overheats When a car or truck overheats idling, in town, on the highway, while towing, etc. it is important to find out the reason to prevent engine damage. First, with the engine cold, make sure the radiator is full of coolant; if it is low, fill it and keep the radiator cap off while the engine idles to insure all air is bled out of the system ( air trapped in the system can cause overheating also). Check the coolant level daily; if the coolant goes down without visible leaks, it may be a head gasket starting to leak which will also cause the heater to blow cold air due to the lack of available coolant. If the coolant stays full, but the car continues to overheat, the next step is to replace the thermostat in the engine and flush the cooling system if that has not been done over the last few years.Buy a thermostat at a parts store and a PRESTONE flush kit which has excellent directions on the package.After completing these steps and the vehicle still overheats, have your cooling fan sensor/switch ( if equipped)checked out to insure it is coming on. Water pumps are seldom the cause as they are mechanical and will continue to work until their bearings give out. Finally, the radiator itself is often the problem as it tends to build up corrosion internally which prevents it from transfering engine heat to the coolant. Remove it and have it 're-cored'. One of these steps will solve the problem.
1993 prelude overheats when driven but its fine when idling.could it be a head gasket?

Cooling fan not working? Water pump not working Radiator plugged Hoses collapsing Airbound Cooling fans do work. Like when she is on the hwy, she's fine. Stop & go stuff really gets to her. Also, she may run fine one insance, then if I shut her off and restart her the overheating begins, thenEngine overheats When a car or truck overheats idling, in town, on the highway, while towing, etc. it is important to find out the reason to prevent engine damage.
