Hi Guys,

Here is goes, i don't know how many of them are having the same problem, I need a solution its pissing me off.

When the car is on idle the temp looks fine and fan works. But, when i drive in the highways.. The TEMP goes up all the way, sometimes i can prevent that by turnin on the heat all the way and turn on the heater and then the gague comes down a lil bight 3/4..... or even 1/2.....
I changed my Thermostart, and filled up with new Coolant.. still....

even like when i put my power windows down, up...sometimes turn on the heater all the way..the Temp gague goes up....even when i put my turning signals on....lol

it happens mainly on the DAY time..........and my DRL is gone to.....

so basicall i got three problems in my car..

1st My Iginiton key is stiff..cann't take out the key... i need to wiggle it around back and forth.....

2nd, my horn does not work.... when i press the horn i hear a clickin nose under the dash..

3rd.. and this is number one PRIORITY, please some one HELP!!..
THanks..

wrong section.

If your temperature gauge goes up when you use a fairly small and momentary electrical load like power wndows or turn signals, you might just be looking at an electrical problem with your temperature sending unit or gauge.

Try hooking in an external temperature gauge and see what it does.

you might have blown a fuse or have some coolant leaking? somewhere

chris_si98

sounds to me like you have a weak rad.

For your horn, take off your bumper and press the horn. If all lines are connected and the horn has grounding and still no sound, then buy a horn, new or used.

VTEC_Thunder

If by turning on or off an accessory causes your temp gauge to go up or down....it's gotta be wiring or something electrical...

And your horn...if you hear clicking then your fuse and relay are ok but you need to check the wiring at the horn end....same as nova said...if the wires and connections are good....you need a new horn...

Thanks guys for all the help..

some answers...
- I got no Coolant leakage
- I re-filled my coolant..might try a flushing..
- Thermostat has been changed
- Well, i tested out somthin in the morning..
to start I got a DRL problem
- so at night when i turn my lights on..my TEMP gagus does not give a lot of a problem...it only goes up 1/2 way...it does not go all the way.
- in th emoring I turned on my night lights...so the temp stayed at 1/2 way..once in a while it goes up and come back down..its not like it stays on all the way..


NEW PROBLEM! lol
- When i start my car today... it started with the big amount of smoke coming off from my exaaust..it smell burned...after it on idle..its fine.....
maybe for winter? or sumthin burning?..its only does it when i start in the morning...cold start...

WARM start..no problem..like when i the car ran for a while and turn off the car and turn on the car.....its ok..


ANY SOLUTION MUCH APPRICATED!!..

how about the key?..any one has answers??

Nova_Dust

Big smokes... you could be either burning oil (piston rings) or coolent?

As for the key, is your ignition tempered before or is your key bent or cut in anyway? Got a pic of the ignition and the key?

VTEC_Thunder

Is the smoke: white? blue? .......brown?...lol

imported_doggy69247

yea whats the smoke like ??? does it smell sweet like candy ???

if so head gasket thats were your coolant is going and that acts as a catalist and up wil go the temp if it gets worse u can actualy blow the motor up it will totaly overheat and duy

imported_si90

it does not smell like sweet like candy..

it smell like somthin burn..like fire..

color is like Blueish or white.......

and it not burnin oil...

chris_si98

i wouldnt be too worried about the smoke.

imported_jonny_emo

if the smoke is just when it's cold started.....don't worry about that.....pretty much every car smoke till it's warm.

key could bent a little....if not.....try some WD40???

imported_si90

Well..i know if its a smoke...its nothing..but it smell like somthin just got in fire....

i open the hood... the Engine running normal.. no smoke coming from it..

I've tried 2 keys...well both of them aren't from honda..
maybe i should try getting a new set of keys..how much would that cost?

chris_si98

burnt oil normally has a burnt smell to it.

Check for oil leaks. The smoke and the smell could be un-related.

imported_si90

No Oil leaks found.. and i check my oil regularly...
even did an oil change..no issues were reported.

imported_littleyellow

put WD40/or something equivalents into your Iginiton key and iginit it
repeat is few time, it will work,

Judging from the number and type of issues your describe, try the following steps in the order given...

1. Get full insurance on it.

2. Bath your engine area with a good amount of strong solvent

3. Light the fuse.

4. Run.
