Sounds like a thermostat problem. I had the exact same thing happen to
my 88 Accord a few months ago, turns out that it had the original
thermostat in it. They replaced it, put in new coolant and everything
was fine after that.

You also may want to check your fan fuses. I had two fans on mine (at
the radiator). One time, one of the fuses blew and prevented one of the
fans from turning on. Check the fusebox out by the engine (not the one
inside.)

I'm betting it's the thermostat.
