hello guys..
i hope you can help me with this situation that i have. a 1997 honda civic v-tech 2 door front wheel drive and it keeps overheating. first it was the thermostad and i got a brand new one, then it kept overheating and i change the radiator and the hoses and now every time that i accelerate the temp would jump and stay hot. i checked the fan and it turns on after a while however i dont think its good enough because the car stays hot and i have to turn on the heater full blast and it will start to go down slowly, unless im driving fast and the air would cool the engine, but when i check the level of the antifreeze the reserve tank its full but the radiator its empty and i have to fill the radiator with coolant so it can cool down, also when i stop the rpm's are very low, the car would start to shake like if it was about to turn off. also when the car overheats i would run it with the heater on to cool the engine down and after a while like 30 min of driving if i keep the car at 60mph the engine light would come on, and if i try to go faster it sounds like if im forcing the car the gear would take a long time to change, so i hope this is very details and hope you guys can help me with this situation i would really apreciated it. thanks
