Acura rl 2002 3.5 engine overheating when stopping
Post Body

So, I have an Acura RL 2002 that has been an awesome car, but lately it's been overheating, mechanics always come to a stupid cause like the radiator cap or a broken hose, but they replaced it and it´s the same. So, this it´s what I have done to the car.

  • New radiator
  • New water hoses
  • New fans relay
  • New thermostat
  • New temp sensor
  • New radiator cap.

It´s still the same, I use it for more than 30 minutes and it starts to overheat only when on a light or low speed, when y rev the car to about 4k the temperature gets down really quick, in about 2 seconds. I checked the coolant and there's no oil in there, pretty much I've spent about 600 USD on the car, and everything has been useless, I think the only remaining thing it´s the water pump, but i want to ask before spending another $150 and 4 hours to change it.
