so i bought this 99 accord coupe couple months ago.
car was hit before i bought it, mechanic said problem was blown head gasket. it already got repair and everything but the shop that fixed it didnt fix it right, but the car runs fine and it over heats quick. the weird thing is that if i drive my car continuously on the free way. the heat meter would not rise, it would stay below middle. if i leave my car idle and not driving it anywhere. the meter would rise.. so sometimes when i stop at a red light for long time, i would have to park my car and step on the gas in order for the meter to not rise up.
has any1 ever experience this problem?
also it has a check engine light on
and last week my friend helped me install a cold air intake, after installation was done. my check engine was gone.
later that night i took the car n drove around, i was suprise that my meter did not rise as quickly, it felt like the over heatin problem just literally stop because i drove it aorund for a long time and with stops but the meter has never went pass above middle.
i was so happy and thought i solved the problem.. but couple days later my car sounded weird. so i pop the hood and my intake pipe was like only half way in( my friend did not tighten the tube all the way in and do it right so it fell out i guess) so i had to take it apart and redo it and have it all the way in completely.
later that night i drove it around and all sudden my check engine light went on.. then the over heating problem starts all over again.
anybody experience this problem?! please help.
