I just got a new radiator installed 3 months ago for my 98 Civic EX. Last week, 3 separate days, the car would overheat while parked, A/C on. I got through the weekend by pulling over and opening the radiator cap - some coolant would bubble out. Turning on the car immediately after would show the temp level normal. The coolant levels were fine. So I brought it into another Honda dealership and they installed a new thermostat and a new thermal switch since they said the previous Honda dealership (that put in the new radiator) did not give me a new thermostat/thermal switch. It drove fine the next day over 2 long commutes - no overheating issues. But that night I pulled over with the A/C on - after 30 mins idle, started overheating again. Opening the radiator cap brought the temp level normal again.
I first thought that it could have been simple air pockets, but when they put in the thermostat/switch, they also bled the system.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance.
