Accord CF9 overheating problem...HELP!

Tuners,

like the subject says car overheating. Removed thermostat as that is a common problem. Worked well a couple of days, then overheating again. It has never shut down since I always pull over if gauge is close to red. No hose buss, no leaks that we have seen. No gasket blown, any ideas?

You sure it overheating or the sensor to the instrument panel playing the fool

Dan...the overflow bubbling and steam was coming out. Mechanic was convinced it was thermostat, now that has been removed, dunno what the culprit is. Heats up while idling

1. do you use water or coolant?
2. pressure test the system.
3. with rad cap off when car is cold and u start and warm up is water bubbling out?

Well pressure tester advised that gasket has blown...There goes $2000. and my Christmas! But thanks for all the advice on this thread. These fora really help, kinda wish I read them before I started having problems! Funny how one night at Fuzion cost me 3k! Never drive on red..not even to the corner folks!
