Honda Accord Problems

[BeeBQ]

I have a 1999 Honda Accord 2 Litre Automatic.

I was driving today to a few places (lots of stop and start) when I did my last start up for the trip home I noticed that it seemed to be struggling and sounding as if it was going to cut out with very low revs but was fine after driving a few metres and idled fine everytime I had to stop on the trip home.

I was only home for about 30 minutes before having to drive my wife to work and when I went to start the car it started fine and then immediately cut out, I managed to get it going by revving the engine a little on start up and the car acted fine after driving a few metres but noticed during my drive that the temperature gauge was close to the red line.

I have since checked all the fluids in the car and they are all ok with no signs of leaks and both the oil and coolant look clean.

Any idea what the issue might be? thermostat or radiator cap maybe?

Any help would be much appreciated, hopefully it wont be too much of an unwanted expense just before christmas.

Many Thanks,
Adam
