if its overheating at a stop check to see if fan is kicking on. if its not check fuse under hood box. if its overheating when ur driving it and the coolant is topd off and you did the thermo then u have headgasket issues.

My girl has a 2000 civic ex auto and it keeps over heating I put a new thermostat yesterday it has antifreeze in it but I don't know what's wrong any ideas? It was over heating before and it would take about 20 mins of driving for the heat inside the car to get warm and after we did the thermostat it was better and got back to normal but it overheated again today Please give me some input

Did you check if the mixture was right?

Did you install the thermos correctly? Did you bleed the coolant system of any air?

ok so i found that the theromstat houseing is leaking and the pipe going from the water pump is leaking how do i remove that whole assembly is the water pump, pipe, and thermostat houseing 3 pieces?

Yea 3 seperate piece. Remove the thermostat housing. 2 Long 10mm bolts hold it on...Not the coolant hose neck. Then you can pull the tube out. It slides out towards the pass side of the car. You may have to go in by the alternator and pry/pop it out with a flat head.
