94 Acura Legend OVERHEATING! Sign In

I have a 1994 Acura Legend LS 3.2 THAT HAS 160K miles and I am having a really bad overheating problem. One day my car will work fine and then the next day the temp guage spikes like crazy. The day it was spiking so bad I had noticed it was doing alot better on the highways doing 60+ but everytime i had a red light or city driving it was overheating really bad. I had already replaced the thermostat when I first bought the car (Mid January) and i used a product called Blue Devil to seal up any gaskets and any other leaks i could possibly have in the cooling system. So where do I go next?


- Could I just bypass my fan switch so that the fans are always opperating?

- Could I just take the thermostat out to have a free flowing system with no obstructions?

- Just give me any suggestion that will work so it can get me back and forth to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, I AM SOOOOO TIRED OF PUTTING MY HARD EARNED DOLLARS INTO THIS STUBBORN A$$ CAR!!!

What? Are you kidding me? You think a can of "mechanic in a can" will solve all your problems?

Have it block tested for a blown head gasket and pressure tested for leaks. Now that you've added that junk, you will probably need a new radiator if you didn't already.
