Guyz,

I need your help! Im not good with engines so need some help...
My Car seems to overheat when ever I just leave the engine running for say for then 5-10mins....

I've only noticed this to happen since I put on my induction Kit (Ractive),I got rid of the whole standard induction kit, put on the Chrome bar pipe then the heatshield head.

When it gets hot, if you Rev the engine the car kools down to normal & when your driving it fine! Just when your idle for a while...

The Fan kicks in fine & the fluids are all pretty much topped up but I'l double check tonight!
This is a 92 Civic 1.6 SOHC VTEC not sure of the engine code.

Any help would be much appriciated thanks guys!!! :roll:
