Ok my dad took the teg out today and came back all pissy telling me its seriously over heating. like 25-15% away from the Hot side.Especialy when he was stoped at red lights but as he drove off it droped. Anyways I opened teh hood checked to see if the fans came on when the temp goes up and they didnt only when I turned the AC on. My dad added some water(didnt have any coolent) to the rad and it seemed to help but the fans are still acting up. I tried to see if i would get any heat inside but nope blowing cold air.
I dunno what exactly is wrong.

rad is going...going....

Also could be thermostat.

Do you see any coolant or the smell of caramel?
there may also be a leak in your hoses.

Almost 100% it is the radiator.

If it was the headgasket, she'd be losing coolant as well as oil.


Check the fuses, you could of blown one of them. It's under the hood not the dash. After that check the fan switch to see if it works...then you could also check the heater/cooling fan relay.

This is all under the hood. The fuse and relay is in the underhood fuse box. The fan swith is located near the lower rad hose that connects under the throttle body.

Well Im not dripping any coolent on the ground I dont see any or smell anything but it did smell a lil sweet in the inside of teh car when i had my face near the vents but i dunno it also smelled like cigeretts (dont ask how they relate i was more pissed my dad let my bro smoke in the car lol). I do notice my engines oil level goes down every month that I have to top it off i guess its burning oil *shrugs* not leaking no oil stains on the driveway.
Last year when i got my oil changed the guy had to top off my coolent alot he said it was really low but its not like ive had to do it frequently.
Ill check the fuses n relay today. Im a little confused about the fan switch? theres a actual physical switch u can turn off and on?

The heat is another thing im gonna check on again my dad said he was getting the heat to work last night i dunno how well it worked though.

How are the fuses?

Today I noticed coolant on the drive way. so I jacked up the car to see wherei ts coming from.. It appeared to be dripping from the water pump? (I think its there although it was hard to see because of that plastic cover under tyhe car)I seen the dripping coming from the Bottom of car on the drivers side slightly away from the front wheel. Someone help me out here Im due for a timing belt water pump change 10,000 or so (might do it sooner if it is the water pump) I wanna know if I'm at all close with the assumption. Could it also be a head gasket? From my searches that seems to also be a common problem but would that cause a visable leak on the driveway? Im not getting any white steam out the exaust btw.
Help me

thanks & i love u

b16a92teg

i would also check the fuses....sometimes electrical malfunctions are misleading....happened to my van....thought i was overheating turned out to be a bad fuse......

thanks & i love u

^ ya thanks b61a92teg if you noticed my new post i said i had a leak not a blown fuse and im not overheating anymore btw I was low on coolant hense why the leak now makes sense to me being low.
and what get a stripper? Whats this about?

SIC1 what do you want a picture of? the leak on the driveway? I looked underneath the car its not visable as to where its dripping from its hard to see with the plastic covers underneath. It could be running down a hose for all I know.
hah ya come to a meet yea is that a poke at me ? I would come if *you* guys(mainly u) weren't gonna be smartasses. Really if anyone has turned me off from coming down it would have to be you with that comment. Thanks its nice to know u are so friendly.
Im not realated to anyone on here thanks I dont know why you would relate me to him with this..."Everyone can help you on here. are you related to 95integra?? He seems to have fixed all the maintennece in his car yet still runs like ----" My car runs fine its just leaking slightly is that such an uncommon problem with integras? haha doubt it Im sure its an easy fix if it were the water pump since i need it changed but I want to be certain it sounds feasible.

hey....no need to get all defensive....juss stating my opinion......juss telling u some helpful hints cuz i went through a similar situation....but anyway....nice talking to u....

thanks & i dont love u :horse:

go for a drive, come back home. Open your engine. see where the leak is coming from and change that part...could be a hose, could be the rad it self. if u really don't know where then bring it to a meet or a mechanic.

Mike Ya its dripping even as it sits its really hard to see I think ill get my bf to help me check it out this weekend. I hope its just a hose but yea if it is the water pump need one anyways very shortly. Thanks

b16a92teg I wasnt getting that defense maybe sic1 put me in a lil mood there haha sorry didnt mean to take it out on u but that stripper comment was a bit gay of u but hey I dunno where u got the idea id wanna stripper being female n all.

b16a92teg
