check rad fluid

Semnos

You know I have been fighting with my car about that for 3 month's now.
You're rad fluid is definately the prob, I think you have a leakage somewhere or you waterpump seal is broke.
My waterpump was bleadin' off to much coolant I took it of friday seal broke at the bearings. You should hear a wining sound where the waterpump is at when your car is started. If you drove like this for a while check you thermostat, cause it will get damaged I had to replace mine to. Without rad fluid my CRX's rpm went to 3000 and back down on and on, really anoying and it heated up to redline . I changed my radiator fan switch to cause my fan didn't turn on, but that wasn't the problem...there was almost no rad fluid
