Re: '91 Civic questions
The temp gauge isn't the best indicator of actual temperature. The fan rarely comes on in cooler temperatures as cooling systems on civics are very good. But if your sitting in rush hour traffic for hours on end than the car is definately overheating if the fan isn't coming on. The idle air control valve will also cause high idle, but you might wanna check the thermostat to. The gauge should be sitting at about half even while on the highway. If your in doubt replace it anyhow. That will make the idle stay high, and prevent the car from getting to optimal temps, or overheating. Let the car idle for 15 or 20 mins then feel the rad hoses..both should be nice and hot
