I couldn't remove the timing belt and exhaust manifold so I am not doing the head gasket, water pump and timing belt repalcement. Maybe I'll go to an auto shop and have them do it for me. I could not remove the bolts on the exhaust manifold. Five of them though all size twelve, are wierd shaped and won't budge.

So I end basically doing a tune up with new wires, spark plugs, changing the coolant, oil and oil filter. I am right now at the oil filter part.

Well, my tune up worded out ok and my car still starts. Yay! Now I am having an overheating problem. That happened before I did the tune up though. The car was getting hot the last time I drove it to before I started trying to fix it. What I realized today is that the radiator fan for some reason stop working. I have no idea why and I am guessing that it is the main cause of the overheating.

Edit; Heater control panel also doesn't work. Help!!

 

Can anyone give me a hint on how to fix this. My whole cooling and heating system is not working. My radiator fan does not come on and there don't seem to be any power to the heater control panel. Thanks

 

So I found this thread <a href="https://www.hondacivicforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=630016">radiator fan not working</a> that explain my issue. I tested the fan and it does work. I've look at the fan relay under the hood box and it seen fine, so I am not sure if that's the problem. So what else do I need to check? Thermo sensor?

 

My cel codes. I finally got around to it today. What do they mean?

 

You have four codes stored in the ECU:
3 MAP sensor
7 TPS
10 IAT
21 VTEC solenoid

Next step:
Clear the ECU and then run the engine to see which CEL codes repeat.

 

That's weird when my engine is non-vtec. thanks

 

Your ECU probably doesn't match your engine. What ECU do you have?

 

I don't know. I haven't taken it out the car.
