1985 Honda Civic Repair Question
Fuel gauge drops when turn left,
Asked by civicnoobAnswer
Have the fuel sending unit checked-start here
Hi you need a fuel sending unit this is in the fuel tank this will fix the fuel guage. if the resavoir and the radiator are full and your heat and temp is ok then no prob with the radiator.
No the I just ran it with the new cap, and toped it off again. But then it started kinda jeting out the side of the cap. Again before placing the cap on and it was running when I toped it off no bubbles?. Different ? Though do I have to start a new thread if It's a different issue with my car?
is your car overheating? is it overflowing the tank?just trying to understand exactly what the question is. thanks
Car is kinda overheating, and yes it is overflowing the radiator
Wait for engine to cool.
Remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. If level is low, top up. If you did not loosens the bleeder nut at the upper hose joint, or is it the thermostat housing, do so and wait for coolant to flow through before tightening the bleeder again. Top up and start engine, if level drops top up till it stabilises and close radiator cap.
If after bleeding and problem persists, you most probably has a blown head gasket.
Btw, are the cooling fans working when it overheats?
No the fan doesn't turn on. Know where I could find a head for it
Yeah by the way the head has this blue stuff lining all around it? No idea what it is
Cooling fan switch is at bottom of radiator. Unplug the 2 wires, bridge them and turn ignition switch on. If the fan starts working, you have a fault with the fan switch. It could also be a stucjk thermostat, though it could be new.
