My 94 civic 1.5 is overheating! I have replaced the thermostat, radiator, relay quit working and I jumped the fan from the battery! It is still getting warm and dumping antifreeze in the overflow! What can I do next! I have a long trip to go on and need this fixed asap?

The fact that it is dumping coolant into the overflow tank sounds like it is a headgasket failure.

Have the cylinders leak tested to properly diagnose this failure. Unforunately this is a major job.
