ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    91 se automatic overheating problem

    Hello to all on here you guys have helped me out before so thanks to all. I am having the temp gauge go above the 1/2 mark and it almost goes in the red. I am guessing here that something is majorly wrong like the head gasket is going. My friend had one go on his Honda and he drove it and overheated it. I need some help here as to what is going on and what could cause this problem. Also wanted to add sometimes I smell gas in the oil I am sure that has something to do with this please advise me. I don’t smell gas in the oil all the time though. Also sometimes the car takes a while to start like it has a hard start instead of starting/firing up right away.

    Okay so here are some things that have been done to eliminate some things....
    Spark plugs changed, coolant changed and good, fans and everything on the car works in perfect order, new distributor, new belts and oil just changed.
    With that being said can someone please chime in on what this could be and what I can do (options) to fix this.
    The car is 91 se 140k on it in great condition.

    Have you checked your oil to see if it were like chocolate milk? that means that coolant is mixing in with your oil and your headgasket is leaking or done. I think it was Losiracer that had a headgasket problem one time where when he started his engine, it would hesitate like your are describing until the engine was able to force all the coolant that had leaked into the cylinder at night out of it.

    As for the gas smell in your oil, how old are your injectors? Recently another person on here had a similar problem and the general census was that he might have had an injector be stuck partially open allowing fuel to leak out the tip.

    What belts did you replace?

      Have you checked thermostat? If it is faulty, it won't open the valve and doesn't allow coolant fluid to cool down. And you have overheating.
      Check again coolant fluid is there any oil? If yes, change the head gasket.
