ok so we have a 1997 honda crv. we replaced the radiator and the thermastat and some other things. well the car still gets hot quick. oh ya and we had to replace the fan motorbecause they were fried. what else do we need to do. i dont believe the fans are working is there a switch of some sort.

 

have you changed or checked the temp sensor.

 

that was my next guess....is that all it could be? i guess i could check the fuses to if there are any. thanks.

 

bump....this must not be a very popular site.

 

How many miles do you have on your CRV? Have you replaced the Water Pump? Are the electric fans switching on intermittantly while at idle when the vehicle has achieved operating temperature? Have you replaced the radiator cap?

To check coolant circulation: Start thevehicle and let it obtain operating temperature (180 degrees Fahrenheit), check to see if coolant if passing though the top radiator hose (by squeezing on the hose with your hand).

Good luck! Let me know what you identify as the problem.

 

we have liek 160,xxx on the crv...i think the water pump is original but i am not exactly sure... ill check and make sure every thing is working correctly what would the radiator cap have to do with anything?
