Heating and Cooling

Asked by Nicolas Jun 03, 2018 at 12:26 PM about the 1990 Honda Accord Coupe LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1990 accord which keeps over heating. I
did a timing belt and water pump replacement
about 2 months ago. The top radiator hose is new.
The temeperature sensor and the sender are both
new as well. I changed the thermostat twice. I have  
flushed and bled the coolant with the heat on
making sure the heater core gets flushed but it is
still overheating. It always takes about 8 minutes
for it to start overheating. Could it possibly be a
fan? The drivers side fan never comes on but the
fan has nevee worked before and the car wasnt
overheating. Thanks - Nick

To bleed air from system remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle once vehicle starts to reach operating temp thermostat starts to open and antifreeze level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back. Also you will notice that the antifreeze in tank will start to rise this is normal and will go down once thermostat starts to open.
