Re: civic thermostat replaced but engine is still over heating
Make sure the bleed all the air out of the system. Check the head gasket. Along with the head gasket, the water pump could be bad.

Re: civic thermostat replaced but engine is still over heating
how do i bleed the air out? ok ill do that as well. but my thermostat gauge is not working so does that mean a sensor could be bad that controls the thermostat or water pump?
