I have a 90 Honda CRX Si with a 92 Acura Integra motor in it. I changed my water pump about a month ago since it started leaking coolant from the hole on the pump. Then yesterday my car started overheating. Last weak I blew a hose but then fixed it and this week it just started to overheat. So I changed my water pump today... still overheating. Can someone help me?

Try bleeding the coolant lines. I had a problem with my mustang over heating and it turns out it was caused by a blown head gasket blowing air into the coolant system. There should me a couple valves you can open to let any air out that can be trapped in the lines and prevent coolant from circulating. Also try a lower temperature thermostat. If you don't know what that is I can explain that too lol

The radiator may need replacing, due to corrosion or mineral buildup. Most Honda radiators need replacing around 150,000 miles. Be sure to only use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. The link below should help:

A Honda-trained mechanic recently told me most Hondas overheat due to the thermostat being installed incorrectly or the thermostatically-controlled cooling fan not working properly.

Thanks for the info... well I am guess the thermo fixed it, it hasn't overheated since the last incident. Thanks again
