yeah sounds like your water pump broke it happened to my integra Da9.

head gasket you

BLOWN HEAD GASKET!

/thread

head gasket would smoke alot in the tailpipe bud I experience it alot on my Toyota and you can Drive still with blown head gasket but it'll smoke alot. If the water pump is broken it will overheat pretty quickly.

no smoke ... over heats in traffic but when i hit the gas the guage goes down i replace the water pump 6 months ago and the tremostat and the sensor but i have the fan runing right when i turn on the car... radiator is cluged could that be the problem

both of my integra had that issue where fans won't work but they did overheat after 10 to 30 minutes in traffic but once I get going its fine.
never fixed the issue cause I stop driving them in rush hour.
you might have a bad relay or your radiator is clogged and not flowing right. Check top hose and bottom to see if water is flowing and they are both hot.

it's not blown lol

A blown head is not the simple diagnosis you expect.

It’s blown.

/thread

it's not blown so your telling I drove 2 years with a blown head gasket lol and new owner still drives it the way it is.

i will change relay and radiator and fan and then head gasket ??? any other things is good to change and maybe water pump

 

[Mr.Baker]

Is the oil or coolant milky looking?
Is there a residue on either coolant cap or oil cap?

It's possible, more than likely it's just holding on, I bet you pull the head, it will be garbage.
Once the motor has been overheated, damage starts since aluminum doesn't handle heat well.
The more it goes like this, the worse it gets and it will fail.

obviously there no coolant in the radiator kiddo so You are guys are wrong and shouldn't give advices.

 

[FWDKILLER]

I wouldn't trust you man the op shouldn't either nobody should so please stop.

 

[Mr.Baker]

obviously there no coolant in the radiator kiddo so You are guys are wrong and shouldn't give advices.

OP never confirmed or denied anything regarding this publicly, hence why I asked.
Apparently via PM it was confirmed the coolant and oil look milky, hence it is a blown HG.


"Advices" huh? Ok...

 

[FWDKILLER]

this kid is on every thread looks like he has no life lol.

 

[camilo]

YES!

(Mentioned in private message)

its not milky its more coolant mix with oil dark color not milky

 

[Mr.Baker]

its not milky its more coolant mix with oil dark color not milky

Oil and coolant shouldn't be mixing, you have a bad HG.

ok but before that happend i had the overheating problem ....its ok when driving but when i stop at a light it starts going heating up but when i go it goes down..i want to fix that problem first ...if i fix the head gasket i think i will still have that overheating problem.... i have the fan on all the time..... but still after drivi9ng for 15 minutes and i start stoping it starts heating up but cools down and when i drive.... radiator fluid slowly disappers after 2 weeks but i still have in the radiator......i refill leave the radiator cap off when the car is cool..i start the car coolant shots up being cold..
