		<description>First thing is to determine WHEN it is overheating.

1. Overheating at slow engine speeds, at stop signs and with the A/C on at stops usually indicates a bad electric cooling fan motor up near the radiator.
2. Overheating at freeway speeds only, or at fast speeds but not at slow speeds usually points to a restriction in the radiator and a new radiator is the answer.
3. Overheating all the time, most likely a coolant leak and there is not enough coolant in the radiator

I always start with a cooling system pressure test first to determine if there is a leak, either internal to the engine like a head gasket or an external leak like a hose or water pump etc.</description>

		<description>Hi I have a 2000 honda civic dx and couple of days ago it just started to overheat. What should I do if my car engine is overheating? And on Saturday when I turned on my car it has the check engine light on.</description>

		<description>i had a similar problem...my taurus overheated all the time...new radiator, hoses, flush system, cap...well, it turned out to be the fins on the water pump were gone!!! The original owner put in that product to loosen all the scale and deposits in your water jackets and radiator and just left it in!!...That would have been the last thing i would have checked since there was no seepage out of the water pump weep hole...but as others before me advise, check the obvious...hoses, thermostat, radiator, etc....good luck...Matt</description>
