My wife's '95 Integra developed an overheating problem??? last evening. She was nearly home and while sitting at a light the temp guage went all the way up. She managed to get home and I tried to reproduce the problem by letting the car idle sitting in the driveway; it didn't happen. I turned on the A/C and the fans went on, turned A/C off and the fans stopped running. So I don't believe the problem to be related to the fans.
This morning I drove her car to work and after about 30 minutes of stop and go driving I was sitting at a light and the temp needle swang all the way to the right. Shortly after I starting to move, almost immediately, the needle went back to normal. This scenario repeated every time I sat for any time stationary; soon as the car moved the temp guage would return to a normal range.
Since I am mechanically challenged I ask that you share your collective expertise regarding what could be the problem? :bowdown: Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks.
