When I used to have a 1993 Civic ESI the cause for rising temperatures was a faulty sending unit that turns on the fan/auxiliary fan.

we already checked the fans.. and its all running perfectly..

Are both fans running when it overheats?

so there is no thermostat now in your car's cooling loop. perhaps you need to replace the water pump. if the car has been running without coolant for a vary long time, the water pump vanes disintegrates due to corrosion.

yes both fans is running when it overheats.. the temp gauge is playing.. sometime normal after few kilomotere it will go high again...

Saang banda lumalabas yung tubig? Dapat kung ganon nagbabawas ng tubig yung radiator mo. May naririnig ka bang parang kuliglig sound mula sa engine bay? Nagpaoverhaul ka na ba ng radiator? Try mo bago istart sa morning, alisin yung rad cap at check mo kung yung tubig ay dadaloy once nirev mo yung engine. Pag hindi na, better check the water pump.

normal lang na may lumalabas na tubig sa muffler kung bagong start engine. ito ay gawa ng condensation habang lumalamig exhaust system, lalo na kung overnight.

is this glycol based, safe for aluminum alloy?

normal lang na di umandar ang fan/blower upon starting. aandar lang siya kapag na-reach ang slightly above operating temperature ng engine, tapos hihinto kapag napalamig na niya sa tamang temperature ang engine.

sir kumusta auto mo? i had a big headache when it comes to overheating so I've learned a lot of things when I was in your situation. open mo ang radiator cap, then rev the engine. pag lumabas ang tubig from the radiator, your cylinder head gasket is for replacement. advice pa sa akin ng mechanic ko not to use an engine coolant dahil tumitigas daw ito sa loob ng radiator, water will do.

If you don't use coolant your radiator will rust out and develop holes.

^ ganun ba yun? okay salamat sa advice sir!

[Brent]

Old school misinformed mechanic's advice is not to use coolant. You should use coolant and change it at proper intervals.

[speedyfix]

your sending unit to the gauge might be shorted also causing the gauge to read incorrectly and you to think you're overheating when you're not.
