Hi there, I check all forums https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=10440 But i have found nothing to fix my car problem its not bad damage but it can get worst i just hope you guys can help me. So i got a honda civic 97 EX couple and it was very low when i first got it for my birthday Today when i drive to mcdonalds I hit a speed bump which kind of make a little crack into my radiator and most of the juice came out from the radiator So i check underneath the bumper and saw the radiator dropped down where when you drive the car you can hear it dragging. So i park it at my sister shop and tied it with some strings hope it help and put some anti coolant in it to see if the juice come out it didnt. But when i drive home I can smell like it want to overheat The fan was kind of stuck also im not sure if i should replace the radiator and fan im so shock

 

locate where your leak is coming from and replace it. probably the radiator.

 

If you did cracked your radiator on a speed bump, you should check for more damage.

 

it was just the radiator, and for the fan its like it wont move when the u try to move it but when u start the engine it make weird sounds so im thinking about replacing a new radiator and fan?

 

the fan is hitting something pull it off and spin with hand...

 

yeah when i try to spin it like stuck unless you force it than it will spin

 

i think i found the problem when i start the car the fan wont spin at all. The temperature was cold onto i got on the freeway to work than it got all the way Hot when i got to the shop and stop it smell like it about to overheat

 

If the fan blade isn't hitting anything yet you can't spin it freely by hand, the motor needs to be replaced. The bad motor has probably blown the fuse too.

Look very carefully for leaks, they don't cure themselves.

 

i took my radiator apart and put some anti coolant to see if it leak after sealing it with kb weld it didnt leak. So i put it back in together and run the engine it works great but the fan isnt spinning again So i drove it around to see if the gauge changes from cold to hot in 5 mins it changed from cold to hot really fast so i think should i get a new fan motor and fuse? and replace the thermostat? it been a pain in the *** it always show engine check blah blah

 

have you pulled the codes to see why the check engine light is on????
also have you hooked the fan directly to your battery to see if the fan works?
running a engine hot is not good... it short'ns the life of the engine
