Engine overheats/Fans not working?
Engine overheats/Fans not working?
I have a 93 Civic which has served me pretty well for the past two years, but it has began to act up in the past couple weeks. Near the end of a road trip I noticed the engine overheating and ended up refilling the coolant which was bone dry. Two weeks later of making short trips, the coolant system was again empty. I refilled again and have since been checking the levels everyday and have noticed no drop of the levels ... but the engine continues to overheat. A friend watched it idle and noticed my fans are not kicking on. Any suggestions?
Re: Engine overheats/Fans not working?
check the fuse and the wiring to the fans and if all is good then your fans have stopped working but i doubt they have and the loss of coolant could be caused by a blown head gasket
Re: Engine overheats/Fans not working?
I have checked the fuses and all of the wiring which seems in good condition. How would I check the head gasket ... and would the head gasket cause overheating?
Re: Engine overheats/Fans not working?
yea the head gasket will cause over heating and there is a couple of things u can do to see if ur head gasket is blown u could check and see if there is a grey oily type sludge around ur radiator cap or you could see if there is water in ur oil or just even loss of coolant could be a sign
