I am having an issue with my 1999 Civic. The engine is well maintained at 130,000 miles, I am the original owner, and take imaculate care of this vehicle. On a business trip last week, my temp gauge rocketed to about 3/4 upon starting the car. No overheat, but the gauge never moved in the last 5 years. I put on the heat full blair and it settled to about halfway, allowing me to drive to my dealer. If I had not done at least this, I suspect I would have overheated quickly. Dealer checked it out, did a pressure test which came back fine, told me it was the thermostat which I suspected. Fan Switch was fine and fan operated normally. The replaced the thermostat and flush and filled the radiator. This was 4 days ago. Since then the car has been fine at all speeds, with the heat, on, off , etc. (I obviously have not needed to keep the heat on full to pull heat from the engine since it was fixed. Now today, the temp gauge started to jump again. Any ideas? Obviously, my concern is the head gasket, but considering there is no coolant loss, and a pressure test has been performed, that should have been noticed immediatly if it was the case, no? Any advice would be most appreciated before I return to the dealer.
