cooling system problems (1993 Acura Integra GS)
alright, so today i replaced my thermostat to try and help with my overheating problems.
the car seemed to cool better i drove for about thirty minutes and it didnt start to over heat till i was right outside my house.
anyway my problem is that my upper radiator hose was burning hot when i got out and felt it, but my lower radiator hose was not hot at all. and also my radiato fan never seems to want to turn on.
any help would be great.

air pocket inside the engine.
-let your engine cool down.
-take your rad cap off
-top off all coolant
-jack the front of your car up, about 1-2 feet off the ground if you can.
-turn your heat on full blast
-let it run for like 30 minutes so all the air will escape.
you also have a bleeder valve on the back of the thermostat housing i believe...
keep an eye on the temp guage...if its too hot cut it off immediately, you might have a blown headgasket, or worse.
