I have a 93 honda accord. I recently drove on a three hour trip in my accord. While I was driving there werent any problems, but as soon as i got to a stop the engine started heating up. Also, my AC would work on and off the entire trip. Should I replace my front two fans? Is it my thermostat? What is wrong with my car, i would like to fix this myself since I dont have much money. If you know what this problem is, can you tell me how and what I need to do to fix it. THanks!

 

How much did it overheat? Do you have a Check Engine Light?

 

it will overheat all the way up to the red line and I do have a check engine light, but the light did not come on. I was told that the two fans in the front are not working and that while I am driving enough air flow is cooling the coolant. I just checked and the fans will not come on regardless if the A/C is on or if the engine is hot. they will not come on period. I was told they are supposed to come on with the A?C regardless of the engine temp. The AC does not work either.

 

Don't drive the car anymore, you'll run the risk of warping the head.......Find out what the Check Engine Light is.......Check the fuse for the fans/also check the relay.

 

how do I check the fan's relay? Are the fuses and relay in the same place? Also, how can I hotwire the fans to make sure they still work and I dont need to replace them? thanks

 

Check your fuses first...and see what the CEL is then get back to me.
