I recently aquired a used honda accord 1998, V6. When the airconditioner is left on for a bit the car starts to over heat. I can confirm that the radiator is not leaking.


It is apparent that a number of users have experienced this challenge as well. I will be delighted to find out what the trouble might be.

Try replacing the thermostat -that don't work could be clogged radiator, defective water pump. If it continues to overheat get it block and pressure tested.
