2003 Acura tl overheating

We really need more information to drill down your particular issue.

Overheating indicates that the cooling system is not able to transfer heat from the engine to the surroundings. This could be due to several reasons:

• A stuck-closed thermostat that doesn't allow the coolant to flow as much as it needs to.
• A radiator fan that isn't running the way it should. If the fan is electric, a break in the connection or burnt fuse may be to blame. There could also be a mechanical problem with the fan if it doesn't spin freely.
• Low coolant flow, which could indicate a clogged water pump or clogged coolant piping.
