We have a 88 honda lx that has the engine changed, after that engine overheats. Had the same problem with the previous engine. Changed the thermostat, radiator, checked all fluids, hoses and radiator cap. Any help would be appreciated, cannot find the reason for the overheating

Replying to: thomason (Nov 25, 2007 11:26 am) On a COLD engine remove the radiator cap and start the engine. If the coolant does not flow, bleed the air out of the system. If the coolant flows with bubbles, and/or smoke comes out the exhaust, suspect the head gasket. Replace the radiator cap and feel both upper and lower radiator hoses. If one hose is hotter than the other check the thermostat. Regards Corkscrew |

I've have the car where it runs normally, but if you step heavy on the gas, it speeds up, then stalls and dies. It will not restart immediately after dying, but if you wait 5 min. it starts and runs normally. I'm thinking I have loose dirt in the carb, and after it settles, the car again runs normal, until heavy throttle sucks the dirt back into jets, etc. Let me know if this sounds sensible, and any easy way to clean out? Car is not plated yet, so these are alleyway tests. I plan on taking to the open road, and see if some of this clears up. Car had plugged up fuel filter when purchased, wouldn't start at all....thanks
