    1998 honda accord coupe 3.0 check engine light heating up after 200 mile drive...

    ...from 9. degrees to 60. degrees? i bought a 1998 honda accord coupe 3.0 8/10 condition all around
    Seller said car needed a radiator flush And maybe heater core replaced
    piad $1,700 for it
    Drove it from big bear lake ca to ventura,ca
    parked car for an hour
    drove to insurance place turned heater on
    check engine light suddenly came on car started to get hot and turned off on its own
    turned heater off let car off for 3 minutes and drove home
    heat gauge was at normal but car fans were on full blast
    can it be my radiator thermostat heater core?
    i dont mind the problem it was a good buy

    gave me like 33 mpg highway no problems
    i was already planning a full tune up for tomorrow
    any suggestions? thank you

    it could be anyone of those three or even the water pump. start with the cheapest part and start replacing or just replace all of it.
