Default Honda CIvic Intermittent Overheating

I just go a 95 honda civic coup, and it overheats everynow and then, especially when I run the AC. I check the fluid levels and it always needs water like every other day. But I dont see any leaks & it does not smoke or anything... could it be a faulty themostat? any thoughts?

make sure you dont have a leak it could be really small . my crx had a real small hole in the hose. cheak to make sure your fans work and like you said it could be just a bad thermostat .you are putting coolent in to not just water? ok goodluck man ..

try just taking the thermostat out also(takes 10minutes). its not the best thing to do but if it corrrects the overheating problem you know u need a new one
