hello out there. new to the forum im looking for some input. i have a 1995 honda ex all stock. car is intermitantly overheating. checked the basics already coolant good fan is running fine... car only does it once in a while i live in az about 105 outside. any info in trouble shooting this would be great. thx in advance

 

Are you loosing coolant? Have you replaced the thermostat and bled the cooling system as described in the service manual?

 

no loss of coolant. t-stats havent been changed in years im sure. dont see the need to bleed the cooling system since i havent drained it or had to add any coolant????. side note drove car all last summer no issues... cooling wise anyway. just a question dont the t-stats fail open?

 

Thermostats can get stuck open or closed. It's such an inexpensive part. Just replace it. Afterward, bleed the cooling system. You should also consider draining the coolant and replacing it with fresh premixed 50:50.

 

thanks i will give it a try this weekend and let you know what happens. just for my own info where are the sensors located that run the cooling fan? just incase i need to start looking there
