    90 Honda Civic overheated and tries to start
    Hello, I was headed home the other day stuck in traffic, and my car started overheating so I drove two more miles home and then when I got to my driveway it stalled. The next day, I filled it up with water and checked the oil and all was fine. It tries to start, but won't.

    Thank you,

    Debra Cooper

    Hi, Debra!

    Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just fixed up your question and post a bit and moved it from Introductions to this topic area so that it would get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

    We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

    Thanks!

    . Check each cylinder's compression, to ensure the aluminum head was not warped or the valves damaged when the engine overheated.

    . Perform tests, in Sections A and B, below, if the head and valves are okay:
