So after owning the accord for a year... ive never had the coolant temp sensor work... Then yesterday I was so happy cuz i saw the temp come up to normal operating temps..

So im driving around town and on my way home when i see it start to rise... and rise faster... WTF? is it broke? Well i turn the car off and see some smoke coming out from my hood... well i guess its not broke... Coolant was coming out of my hose that connects below the radiator cap to the coolant resevoir..

AFter a few minutes i look at my temp gauage again and see the temp is back down to normal temps.. How could it come down that fast? then i thought.. its the damn thermostat sticking.. Cuz i really doubt the pump would turn off and on like that.. usually they just leak and then die or just die..

So i start it up and start driving home... and when im almost there i see the temp start shooting up... But i got home before it hit red .... Damn heat thought it could beat my vtec...

So i yanked the thermostat today and havent had the problem again yet.. only put 15 miles on it so far since the incident..

I'll run it without the thermostat for awhile and see how it goes... I dont need one anyways...

And thats the story of the night that the coolant temp sensor worked. the end
