My car is a 1994 Honda Civic dx. Lately it runs hot if I'm sitting in traffic or have driven for 30 min or so on the freeway. The car does not run hot while I'm on driving on the freeway and pick up speed. If I'm going any slower than 55 on a very hot day it starts to run hot.

I have already checked the fan reley it's fine. The radiator fan is running fine also. There is not any cooling liquid leaking on the ground as far as I can tell. I'm worndering and hopeing it's a sensor or thermostat .

Hi Sonja ,

Did you check the coolant level in the radiator?
