1992 Honda Accord - overheating
Thanks to all of you who helped with my daughter's Daewoo.
When it rains, it pours. I am now having an overheating problem with my 1992 Honda Accord.
My son installed a new thermostat about three weeks ago. (I had been having problems with overheating- the gauge showed this and the fan continued to run for a while even after the engine was off) He said upon inspection of old thermostat that it was bad. Since then, my temperature gauge has not gone above normal operating temperature. However, it overheated (I heard the boiling and smelled the overheating) The temperature gauge showed normal operating temperature. However, the top hose was extremely hot, and the water was boiling over into the reservoir. The fans were not on either. Should I drain and refill the radiator and bleed the system? Why is the car not registering that I am overheating? Please help.
