Hello I have a 1991 Honda Accord SE and recently the has been over heating I have replaced the thermostat and replaced the hoses and flushed the radiator out and still the car is over heating. People say that I should get a new radiator and the one that I have in there is NEW. It has over 190K on the car runs good there is no heat though coming in at all. The top hose gets hot but the bottom hose does not I bleed the thermostat and still nothing. I am running out of solutions for my car Can you please help on what the problem might still be?

If the top heater hose is hot and the bottom is cold, you either
a)haven't bled it properly
b)core is plugged

However, this is not the cause of your overheat.(Unless you have an air-lock somewhere.
