    My Civic after running more than an hour, my temperature gauge on the dash will suddenly spike to the maximum, yon talagang dulo ng gauge, lampas pa sa red mark, pero after 10-15 seconds, babalik sya sa middle ng gauge,

    Ano sa tinign nyo ang defective. the engine is not losing power naman. I already have a new radiator.looks ok naman ang cooling.

    I hope you can help me with this poblem. THNAKS!!!!

    brod, check mo ang coolant if coolant ok,try to bleed the air if no air check stat medyo mahaba ang process, dalhin mo na lang sa trusted mech mo para sa systematic diagnostics procedure...

    sounds like some air is inside your cooling system.

    try mo yung mga grounds. something like that. may kakilala ako sa speedometer naman, apparently, may nasira yata sa gauge somerwhere sa loob.

    it's probably not in the cooling system. it wouldn't make it erratic like that if you are really overheating. electrical yan.

HELP, Civic temperature gauge problem.
