no that is a water pump or a stuck thermostat. see when you are driving the coolant is going through the system which means the faster you go the faster the water pump goes and more pressure on the thermostat. you have a stuck thermostat
Are you sure is your temp sensor have you check the thermostat or the cooling fan if they are working properly? Most of the honda civic has problem with the fan relay or maybe you water pump that is going bad
Replaced the temp sensor? "Burped" the system? Sure the thermostat is in the right way? You can even try running without the thermostat to see if that helps.
Remove and raise upper hose at thermostat end and remove lower rad hose. Fill rad with a hose and watch for flow from bottom rad hose and/ or bottom rad hose connecton.......water should fall though rad easily. Honda rads are cheap.....any restriction....replace rad.
Remove thermostat....fill thermostat housing with hose and watch for water flow at bottom rad hose. Flush good.
Remove heater hoses.......flush back and forth until a good flow is present "With heater control set to hot" if no or poor flow....replace heater core.
Stop leak can plug everything.
Also.......not likely causing over heating....but ....at your mileage,if you do not know if the timing belt has been changed.....CHANGE IT NOW! Water pump is optional at this mileage.
MIGHT NEED TO FLUSH YOUR RADIATOR OUT OR HAVE A SHOP ROD IT OUT FOR YOU.DOES THE WATER IN THE RAD. LOOK NASTY LOOKING,IF SO FLUSH IT FIRST BEFORE YOU TAKE TO SHOP
