Alright, my sister just recently bought a 93 civic hatchback. The car was overheating and when i say overheating i mean the temperature gauge didn't go up and when she shuts off the car it "ping's".

So, i replaced the radiator and T-stat, flushed the whole system and put new fluid in.
Well it's still doing it, and i'm out of ideas as to what it could be.
My guess is, that it's probably the water pump or maybe the coolant temp sensor. any idea's on this???
