Check Oil/ Car overheats

[SourPanch]

I checked the oil...It's not low. Might be corilated with the current Heat WAve (105+ Weather)

But still the car shouldnt be overheating.

Radiator level is ok too.

Ideas?

800miles ago got the head resurfaced and gasket replaced.

fans working?

also if you got water in the tank for your radiator change it for coolant...

but yeah pretty much check the fans and that the fuses are letting them work properly on time... or maybe the oil is just getting too thin by laying on the pan if its that hot... idkkk try driving without your a/c on and see what happens...

goodluck

1. I have no Ac
2. My fan automatically turns on from car start, (its how its wired)

Thanks for advice. i'll go check some stuff right now

water pump might be bad or bad thermostat

 

[SourPanch]

but water pump also wouldn't get the oil light on??

oil pump?

sounds like its about to go.... i dunno ussualy when the oil light comes on there is no oil pressure or bad wire or sensor. and if there is no oil pressure the motor will overheat and eventually blow.

Thermostat stuck closed would be my best bet.

check the thermostat if the fans working.

ok my 1 fan isnt working . (the one i need lol) since i have no AC there's no reason 4 the other to even be on. but it is wired to come on at startup. i also need an o2 sensor. seeing that check engine lights after 10-15 min of driving

did you check the code? never assume anything. youll waste your money. and just because you have a code for a component one these old birds doesn't mean the part is bad, it's just the affected SYSTEM. these cars aren't as smart as the OBD2. theres what, only like 15 or 20 codes possible?

 

[SourPanch]

i haven't ob tested yet. but i can smell in the exhaust that something (o2) aint right.

i spent the whole day in the Junkyard today.
i was luky enough to find a civic of the same year. relatively un-gutted yet. so i pocketed me an o2 sensor. a few bulbs. ob tester and some other miscellaneous items (fuses n whatnot) you know just in case. also the fan worked but obviously wont fit in my pocket. so il go bak 4 it at another time.

haha, but water is better for cooling than coolant make sure your radiator caps spring is still good as for the oil light you might want to test the circut i can get you a alldata diagram for that, their only supose to turn on when you have less than 21psi pressure

if your car get hot turn to heater on and if it cools down your thermostat is good and opening up.
if your getting hot when you turn the heater on than the thermostat is bad
if your hot still after you change the thermostat change your water pump.
if you still hot flush your block and radiator and run all coolant.
if you still hot than your change your headgasket.
