Sounds like you are either low on coolant or the t-stat is stuck. Regardless, if you are at 60k miles or more, have the coolant flushed and t-stat & cap replaced with Honda units. If you're less than that, be sure you're full (you'll have to check the overflow tank for the coolant). If you were low, there's a reason; have the system checked for leaks. If you're not low, it's got to be the t-stat. Have it replaced and refill the coolant with Honda coolant (provided it hasn't been changed).
