My 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe is overheating. The fans only comes on when my AC is on and there is no visual leaking. Slow moving traffic and when idling is when it starts to overheat and I pull over and the overflow tank is full of coolant and is bubbling and my heat is horrible sometimes even goes to cold air
