The 1998 Honda Accord lx 2.3l I own is experiencing overheating issues. When I looked at the overflow tank, I noticed that it was completely full. This means that water is being forced into the overflow tank and spraying all over the engine bay. Does anyone know why this is happening? Yes, the radiator fans run and the upper and lower radiator and heater core hoses get hot. I was surprised to find that the radiator was low on coolant.
I tried to fix the overheating problem in my 1998 Honda Accord LX. I observed the overflow tank was entirely full, and coolant was spraying across the engine bay. Despite the radiator fans running and the hoses getting heated, I discovered that the radiator was low on coolant. This prompted me to believe a faulty radiator cap, which I checked because it may not be keeping the proper pressure. I also checked the thermostat for any potential leaks. It appears that a full check by an expert may be required to get things in order.
most likely a head gasket. One way that a head gasket failure manifests itself is when air/fuel mixes are forced into your coolant passageways, which eventually causes the coolant in your radiator and tank to shift.
