When to replace radiator cap on Honda Civic?

About a month ago it started overheating. Drives Ok on the highway but heats up to the H mark almost as soon as I get off the highway. Have replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator, flushed the system, most hoses, fan, 2 sensors, timing belt, spark plugs and had the head gasket checked 3 times by 2 different shops.

How does the pressure gauge work on a Honda Civic?
The pressure gauge fastens to the radiator in place of the radiator cap. The gauge consists of a pump and a gauge. As the pump is operated, air will fill the radiator and the gauge will display a pressure reading. Pump approximately 15 pounds-per-square-inch (psi) of air into the radiator.

Why is my Honda Civic not turning on?
If the fan isn’t kicking in, then there a few things that could cause that. One of the reasons could be a faulty thermostat, as the thermostat tells the fan when to turn on and off. Another reason could be that the fan’s wiring harness is not getting power to actually turn the fan on.
Why does my car heater keep blowing cold air?
If any of the engine cooling system components are damaged, this will cause the car to overheat. The following are some possible problems that may occur with the engine cooling system: If the heater is blowing cold air and the car is overheating, it is likely that the problem is related to the engine cooling system as well.
What happens to the coolant when the engine is too hot?
The rest of the hot coolant is regulated by the thermostat, which maintains a consistent engine temperature that does not rise above or fall below the engine’s normal operating temperature. If the engine is too hot, the thermostat will open to allow the flow of coolant into the radiator.
Why is my car cooling fan not turning on?
Like Barky says, most likely a cooling fan is not turning on. Not sure but I think your car has two, right behind the radiator. With the car parked, start it up and let it idle 10-15 minutes. Both cooling fans should come on as the engine heats up. If they don’t, have your mechanic find out why. Open the hood, start the engine and turn the AC on.
Why is the thermostat stuck on my Honda Civic?
Check the thermostat’s condition. It is likely stuck open if the engine takes a long time to heat up or stuck closed if the lower radiator hose isn’t hot while the engine is. Replace the thermostat if it is stuck. Feel both of the heater hoses near the firewall.
Why is my Honda Civic air conditioner not working?
Other causes can include a stuck thermostat or worn-out hoses. The good news is that troubleshooting a Civic’s heating system for problems isn’t as difficult as its more complex air conditioning counterpart. Check the condition of the drive belt on the air conditioner compressor. Replace it if it is deteriorated or worn.
How often should I replace my Honda Civic heating system?
If the core is still blocked, replace it. Running the heating system at least once a month for 10 minutes, especially in winter, will preserve the system by preventing the hoses from getting dried or cracked.
