the water pump could be bad or you need to flush your radiator and motor

do not understand what you're driving yet maximum artwork an identical way, does fan turn on with A/C if sure, accessible thermostat stuck open and engine no longer getting warm sufficient to exhibit fan on. could also be pc issue that you'll must have scanned for sensor readings. also some autos have sensor in radiator. about all i visit furnish without variety etc.

How many miles on it? Has the water pump ever been replaced? Is the cooling system clean? Is the radiator working correctly? Is it clean? You are driving a 12 year old car. Have you owned it since new? Any maintenance history?

If you set in the car and rev the motor and it pushes water out of the ratiator overflow, it has a bad head gasket. If you have a bad head gasket your temp will spike really fast, I would say you would be overheating in less than 2-minutes. You ssay you got new fans, let the car idle and see if they come on before it stars to overheat.

Have your mechanic test for coolant in the exhaust--this will tell him if you have a leak in the heads or block. A faulty radiator cap that is not keeping enough pressure in the system could also be the culprit--have the cooling system pressure tested also.

I'm not to keen on honda, but it sounds like either you have thewrong type Engine coolant temp sensor on (Either a NPN or PNP Resistor) Or your thermostat is in backwards. If its in backwards, it wouldnt let coolant to the radiator, causing a overheat.

Your trouble could be a clogged radiator or collapsing hoses, or if you are loosing water it could be a bad head gasket, cracked head, or bad freeze plug.
