First things first, there is no need to SHOUT, if you post it they will read it.
Anyways, are your fans turning on when you are sitting at idle? If you are lucky that is your only problem. It is a cheap problem to fix. However, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but there are a number of other people who have had this problem aswell. And guess what they all needed a new head gasket. Check out this thread to see what i'm talking about http://www.all-acura.com/ftopict-82.html

| I have a 89 legend with same problem. Found wiring diagram and many hours of ripping the dash apart, found the duel engine fan relay module was bad. Installed new relay module that ran about 170.00 and no problems since. I t did run hot a couple of times before I found the fix and no problems yet. |

| Before you go any farther check to make sure the T-stat is good and that there is no air in the cooling system. This is pretty critical . Then check that the fans come on at idle. They should come on around 200-202degrees and shut of around 190-192 degrees |
