If the fans are working properly, it might be a clogged radiator. An overhaul may be needed.

Do you mean that, with a cold engine in the morning, starting it would immediately put the temp at 50%?

It could be the ECT or the temp gauge.

sir, to test your temp gauge. bunutin mo ung wire(single wire lang) nya under distributor cap then short mo sa neg. dapat sir tumaas cya all the way up.

sa akin sir ayaw naman tumaas halos mataas konti sa unang guhit.. then i did the above test and ok naman po ung temp gauge ko. next is pinalitan ko ung temperature sensor(tama po ba ako? yan ang tawag doon sa pinagbilihan ko) then bumalik na cya sa normal.

hope this can help.

barado radiator or mahina n yung ikot ng cooling fan mo.

pag umikot yung fan, dapat malakas talaga yung hangin, ramdam mo yung wind sa feet mo when standing in front of the engine bay.

Kung may problem thermostat (valve) dalawa lang pwede mangyari.
Its either stuck na siya sa open or close.
-Pag stuck sa open, tuloy tuloy lang pag ikot ng tubig from the radiator to your engine and vice versa.
-Pag stuck sa close, yung tubig na pinaiinit ng engine hindi papasok sa radiator para mapalamig, for short mag overheat engine.

Since hindi ka naman nag overheat posibleng stuck sa open yung thermostat valve PERO dapat mababa reading ng temperature gauge mo dahil tuloy tuloy lang ikot ng malamig na tubig.

Unless, clogged yung radiator kaya hindi na nakaka ikot ng maayos yung tubig or sira o mahina yung cooling fan kaya hindi napapalamig yung tubig.

O kaya, ok lahat sila, defective naman yung temperature gauge or yung temperature gauge sender naman ang defective.

I would suggest pa check mo na cooling system mo sa Honda Service Center. Mahal nga lang pero systematic ang pag diagnose nila. O kaya sa reliable na shops na mura pero systematic din ang pag diagnose.

Good Luck!
