I had some overheating issues on my 1991 Honda Accord. So I decided to do this video and show you how I went about checking out my problem...

Respect to you man. I love how thorough your vid is on this. If only I had the money for the h23 swap! Lol. I have a nice kept cb7 my grandad bought brand new. 93 se gold. 👍. I trying to figure out for the life of me why mine keeps overheating. Now has oem stat. Bled the system I don't know how many times. Still overheats! Only seems to be when I'm climbing hills with ac on. No issues at idle. Fans work as they need to. I turn ac off and crank heater on and cools right back down. As I continue climbing the hill or putting a heavy load on the engine in a similar way, even with the heater on it still starts climbing back up. Any help would be appreciated! Once again great video!

@russellbrooks3622 3 жыл бұрын

Dude, just because the relay coil powers up and the relay clicks does not mean that the relay is good. It still may not be putting out voltage on terminal 87, or it may have no voltage supply on terminal 30. This could mislead people to overlook an electrical issue because they heard the relay click.

@winstonbuzon 3 жыл бұрын

In this case then, what else would you test for & how?

@russellbrooks3622 3 жыл бұрын

@@winstonbuzon In this particular case, looks like you got to the correct conclusion. I was simply saying that just because a relay clicks does not mean that it is doing everything it is supposed to do. The output stage contacts could be burned up or broken off. Such a relay would still click when you put power and ground to terminals 85 and 86. Also, if a fuse is blown that supplies power to terminal 30 of the relay, it will still click when you put power and ground to terminals 85 and 86. If you had such on problem in this case, you would have overlooked it. Luckily, you didn't. Still, with this engine, once it has been overheated, the head gasket is very likely to allow compression into the coolant at high RPMS, because the cylinder head warps so easily. If the engine didn't have a problem with that after the repair, you're very lucky.

@winstonbuzon 5 жыл бұрын

First, you should decide if you want to stay auto or go manual. If you're going to stay auto, just swap with a newer or rebuilt motor. Second, if you are going manual, then go VTEC H22 or H23 like mine. All I can tell you is that theres more issues you may run into with the H23A swap, whereas the H22A is more plug & play, but is very common. Neither swap is smog or BAR legal if you dont have the visual parts (OEM intake system & exhaust manifold) installed. Last but not least, with the H23A swap, you'll need additional parts to use the PCB ECU

hi winston.. im having trouble with my civic 96 ni vtec. it keeps on overheating. i just changed the gasket.. and i think theres a hairline leak in the gasket. my question is.. may rad fan kicks up late (i think) it took a while to kick in. will it be possible for a sensor like the one on ur vid to have the need to be in super hi temp to kick the fan in? can i chek it using the same meter? pls do reply. badly needed..

@Ralphgo16 6 жыл бұрын

Hopefully somebody reads this, so recently I just bought a CB7 (92) and I don't know what the previous owner did to the electrical connections like having the fans directly to the battery which was annoying so tried to fix it now the fan only stays on if the car is on but when I turn on the AC the other fan turns on and supposedly it's overcooling and when I turn off the AC it turn off 1 fan and overheats so I really need some help with the fans.

When I use jump wire in the fan switch plug itself to see if fan will go on the fan doesn't go on and I have replaced the fan relays and fan dont go on by useing jump wire in the plug for fan switch this problem started after I had changed my whole ignition and theres these 3 tiny wires that was tapped into my old ignition switch wiring harnesess and I think my brother may have hooked them 3 tiny wires wrong tapping them wires into my new ignition switch both wire harness under the dash how do I find out if he tapped into the right wires of my ignition both wire harnesses to the right wires because after that made my radiator fan hardly go on and has now made when fan will finally go on for just a few seconds then fan will go off for a very long time but when fan does go on the fan now turns counter clockwise and not turn clockwise
