Good day guys, I salute all the great mechanics here that assist us without pay.
I have a rather serious issue that I need help with.
My car runs very hot after driving for a while.
I have an ACURA TL 2012.

If I leave my car on for say... 30 minutes, you will notice that the entire bunnet and the engine area is very hot. Sometimes it will be dangerous to even touch the engine or any other metal in the hood.
I have searched online and I found nothing.
I should mention that My fans are working fine, the car doesn't indicate that it's overheating on the dashboard (the indicator works fine) and the radiator is not dirty.

The most scary part is that I sometimes feel the head when my ac is off and I rolled down my side door. Recently my ECU broke down for no particular reason. I'm beginning to suspect it's because of the heat in that engine area.
My ac started misbehaving recently. I have been fixing it and after 2 days, I'll experience a relapse. The AC technician said it's most likely related to the heat in my engine area.

SOMEBODY HELP ME. I don't know what else to change that will make the heat reduce!

I know the season is hot right now but even in the evenings, I still notice that my engine area is hot!

Oga Gazzuzz, pls advice me on what to do.

Dash me the car...I love heat

Lol, e suppose cold before?

check if your exhaust is blocked.

Symptoms of a blocked exhaust. Get a panel beater to inspect the cats and exhaust.

From experience, your catalyst(s) are most likely blocked. Especially true if you also notice increased fuel consumption and also feel the car is struggling to move fast.

Hondas are very prone to blocked catalysts and engine failure, if not quickly addressed.

Check your catalysts and exhaust. Fast!!!

When last did you change the engine oil? Might be the problem too.... maybe your oil is weak and worm out

check if your exhaust is blocked.

OP, did you eventually check your catalysts?

Normally Honda car are known for hot engine cos if the engine isnt hot it won't work to it main function if your temperature guage isn't telling you over heating that means the car is normal what you need to check is the bonnet mat if it's not there try and get another one for it if not the bonnet will be so hot you can't touch

Does your coolant disappear? Check your radiator, it might not be cooling coolant properly also the water pump! What's your vehicle mileage? Well, first check your radiator that is after you must have scanned your car to be sure you dont have any temperature sensor error code .
