check your thermastat (sp?) and also is your fan coming on? you need to park it at your house start it up and let it get to warm and sit there and see if the fan comes on that might be your problem also

happens to me often ur low on water and only thing colling it down in air...ask prnonvtec4u he was with me when it happened also u might have air in ur line not a real big deal though just add some water

could be the thermostat stuck open... happened in my 3g. the car would only warm up if it was stationary, as soon as it got going, the thermostat would drop bottom.

if it is your thermostat (could be the fans also) then DO NOT use an aftermarket replacement. Get a honda one. unless you really want the extra experience from doing the job twice

Are you overheating?

[CisForCB7]

same thing happend to me. First stick to the cheapest fix. Check the water. Then if that doesn't help check out the fans. I had the same problem and i found that turning on the A/C would start my fan up.

Yea, it has to be ethier the fans or the thermostat. I had that exact same problem before.. It felt embarrasing too!. have you checked for leaks yet?

[NAiL05]

If its not overheating and warms up to normal temp when idling but cools down when moving = Stuck open Tstat or low coolant level

If its idling and overheating - Check coolant levels and fans.

don't let it overheat. i can't stress this enough. the last thing you want is a blown headgasket from overheating.

the first thing i'd do is check the coolant level.

i'd also replace the thermostat anyway. it's like cheap insurance because the part only costs about $12.

let the car run for a while and see if the fans kick on. hopefully it's not one or both of the fans because they cost a bit more. later.
