my 95 civic is running at bout 200 degree... i have changed the thermostat and checked to make sure the fan is kicking on.. when i checked the hoses to see if they were both warm the top hose is hot and bottom hose is cold...

go-part

Is there any coolant leaking? Is the coolant level low?

It could be the radiator, something may be restricting the coolant in the radiator thus causing the one hose to be cool.

Coolant is full.. And no leaks...

are you using Honda coolant? how about the water valve? Valve might not be transferring coolant to the rest of the car. or might be doing so slowly (valve not fully opening)

Im using coolant recommended for honda.. Im not sure bout the water valve.. I know the thermostat is opening all the way...

this has me stumped. i have flushed the whole system and started over and still the same problem. i took the thermostat out to see if it is circulating and it does. and checked the thermostat to see if its opening properly and it is. put the the thermostat back in and still the same problem... any one with any ideas??? i have tried everything i can think of... the only thing i can think is to try a lower temp thermostat...

I have changed everything but the water pump... Does any one know if the water pump being bad would cause it to run warm???

So if its cold below does that mean its not running through it
