Yes. If there are no leaks on the pavement you have at least a bad head gasket and the water is being drawn into the cylinders.You need to pressure test the Radiator system and have them do a "bleed down" test. This will verify the water is running into the cylinders.The pressure test will also find an outside leak in the system.

Are you bleeding the air out of the cooling system, you must do that or it will get air pockets and overheat.

Check out the Starter Solenoid Relay, in the Main Power Box.

I just replied to someone having the same problem with a Honda and saw one of the sponsors pop up in the Ads by Google box to the right that may help. I think with Hondas you have to go to the dealership where the car/radio was originally purchased and give them some numbers from the radio. The sponsor may charge to get the number for you but it may be worth a few bucks if that is the only solution. I didn't catch the web address or name - sorry.

Have the batteries tested with a load cell. Just using a volt meter will NOT work. Look at the posts and make sure all the wires have NO corrosion. Trojan, Powertron, etc batteries last about 6 years. Check the water level after charging. IF YOU SEE ANY WHITE ON WHAT SHOULD BE DARK GREY PLATES, THE BATTERIES ARE SHOT...

Change air filter, oil, spark plug, cable to battery, When changing the oil, there is no need for a new filter. Just wash the old one with carb clean. Held in by 3 small bolts beside the drain plug. Check the rear end oil (90 weight) use the upper plug. Fill till it runs out. Grease the front end. Change the fuel filter. Drain the carb if it is going to sit thru the winter.
