I had the radiator replaced on my 2005 honda civic lx but i am still ovrheating and my radiator cap falls off.
If your engine is overheating, Try this procedure:
To answer yr qustn, yes a radiator cap can & will make yr car overheat if it blocked or foulty or dasn't fit properly as the water will escape and yr system will be left empty or short on water & coolant. The cap on it on is a breather that can get blocked wich will make yr car overheat, also check the spring on it, if all that is fine go with the above solutions. G/luck. Tony
Well... your radiator cap should fit properly so start there. If that doesn't work the next step would be to change the radiator valve which should have been done when you changed the radiator... but if they gave you a cap that doesn't fit, why should they do anything else right. You can also change the tempeture valve going into the engine... it may be recording wrong. good luck
