I bought the car from my brother last summer. I haven't insured it yet so it mostly sits in the driveway. I do start it often and drive it around the block now and then. Recently I did these things for maintenance:
- Coolant flush
- Coolant Hoses
- Trans Fluid
- Cap/Rotor
- SRI
- Fuel Filters
- Wires
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Cleaned TB/IACV/FITV
- PCV Valve/Grommet
I have 4 quarts of 5w-30, 4 NGK iridiums, and a thermostat to put it but the thermostat is not Honda brand so I've been hesitant to put it in.
I've run the car with all of these things before and it hasn't over heated. Before I bought the car my brother said the car would overheat a little when he had the A/C on during long highway drives. I figured I fixed it or it fixed itself or something since it hasn't been apparent.
Yesterday I jump started the car and notice the temp gauge went up 1/4th inch right away, then slowly went up after. I figured it was a flook.
Today I started the car to bring it into my garage to do the oil/plugs and it shot back up 1/4th right away. Whatever right? So I pull in the garage and pop the hood and the thing is sooo hot, after running for 5 min it should not be that hot. I did not rev it or anything, I never went past 3k rpm. The main radiator hoses were extremely hot.
What could cause this to happen so suddenly and so fast?
Thanks for any help!
