98 Accord LX 2.3 Fans & Temp Gauge
Don't go buy a reader....sorry should have been clear, just wanted to know if you had one already.
Turn the key to on/pos II and set the heat to MAX heat, turn the blower motor off, turn the car off. Bleed the air using the coolant bleeder. Car cold/cool, open the bleeder. Remove the rad cap and SLOWLY add coolant until there is a steady stream of coolant coming out of the bleeder. Close the bleeder.
Top off the rad and the overflow. Install the cap to the "FIRST" click - not all the way. Start the car and let is run. Watch the temp gauge and if at any time the gauge gets close to 3/4 shut the car off. Let the car run, until the fans cylcle at least once. This could take close to 30 min sitting still...do the fans cycle, does the temp gauge spike?
If the fans run, shut the car off. Let it sit a few minutes (~5 ?). Remove the cap....WARNING, you only did ONE click so it would not build pressure - hot coolant will burn skin.
Top off rad and over flow if needed. Install cap ALL the way. Drive the car and let us know what the temp gauge does/acts.
