just call honda and tell them what engine you have and see if they have one in stock. they are about 30$ i believe. but you can get different types of thermo's for your car. some will keep your car running cooler than a stock one.

this same shit happened to me once when i was flat broke. i just took the thermo out and let free flow. i drove for about 2 months with it open and it ran fine. just takes longer for you car to heat up. but just go get one they are cheap.

if yours is in the same spot as mine. then follow the upper radiator hose to the block. unbolt it and the thermo is in there.
