My 1997 honda civic is running hot even though I changed the thermostat and the fan is working. What else is wrong with it.

It is either a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Depending on which motor your civic has, this could be a tricky replacement, either way, you have to remove the head off of the motor, and then take the head to have it pressure checked to see if there is a crack in it. Nine times out of ten though, you can see a crack in the head with your eye, but you have to have the right "eye" to be able to see the crack.

Thermostatic switch of your car can be found screwed on your intake manifold, it's a bolt type sensor with wire terminals.

take it for a drive and when its hot feel both pipes coming out of the radiator.if both are hot then the thermostat and water pump is ok.then check if your fan is working.it should start spinning automatically when the temperature gets high without the A/C on.If thats ok then check if the radiator is clear in the front and that nothing is blocking the air from flowing through it to cool the water and antifreeze.
