I have a 04 civic LX, bought it new, now has 280,000 miles on it (yes I drive alot) anyhow it's started overheating recently, strangely though. It only heats up when I'm stopped, and is fine at 20+ miles an hour, even 110mph, didn't make it warm. I know what you're thinking...it's the fans, but they both come on when they should, they just can't keep up with the heat. I haven't tried the thermo yet, but I don't think it could be the thermostat, I was thinking water pump, but I can't check it for leaks because it's encased in a housing and run by the timing belt. I just don't want to go through the trouble of replacing the t-belt and water pump if that's not the prob. any help would be appreciated, I haven't got a lot of money so a mechanic is hard to come by:)
