Hey guys, I have a '02 Honda Civic LX Coupe. I bought it second hand in a decent condition, everything works, few scratches here and there but it runs and everything. What I noticed yesterday was that when I start the car, it can be on for about less than a minute and the exhaust manifold is already very hot while he rest of the engine, head, air intake and radiator (Including hoses) stay cold. Is it normal for it to happen? The temp gauge stay cold since the car only has to be on for a couple of seconds before the exhaust manifold gets very hot.
