Asked by Samkahlr Jul 15, 2019 at 08:35 PM about the 2005 Honda Civic EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So ive been having a overheating at idle problem
with my 2005 honda civic ex. Only 76000 miles. Ive
replaced the thermostat twice thinking that was
the issue. Still overheats. Ive done a pressure test
as well. The pressure dropped from 16 psi to 15
psi within about 30 minutes. No visible leaks. Ive
searched everywhere. No coolant in the oil or
residue on the oil cap. Water pump is working.  Any
advice on what it could be?

Sounds like the cooling fans are not working. Check the fuses and the relay.

Could be a dirty radiator. After 14 years it may be time for a new one. If the water pump impeller was worn out it could also cause this issue.
