Maybe the reason for the overheating is the catalytic converter in the car because you drive an 1991 model, and the converter´s life is not longer than six or seven years
Check this thing

Go by an Autozone I hear they will scan the computer for all diagnostic codes for free...if your check engine light is flashing there should be fault code. Or take it to a repair shop.
Those flashing lights are telling you something is wrong. Keep driving it and whatever is acting up will finally kill your car.

Likely inaccurate O2 sensor causes overheat to catalytic converter.
Have it scanned with a Honda scanner.
