I've never owned an Acura or Honda product, so this may not apply.
Several things to check:
1. Thermostat. It could be bad. The thermostat is a valve that controls whether the coolant is circulated through the engine. When the car is cold, the valve is shut, allowing the engine to heat up quickly to optimum operating temperature. If the thermostat is failing, the valve won't open (or won't open enough).
2. You added a lot of coolant lately, so you may have air in the system. You need to "burp" it by squeezing the hoses with the filler cap off. The air bubbles should travel up to the tank, and you'll end up adding more coolant when you're done.
3. If your cooling fan is belt driven, the clutch for the fan may be failing (causing the fan to turn at less than full speed). Try turning the fan by hand (with the engine off, obviously). If it moves easily, the clutch may need replacing.
Someone who actually has experience with Hondas probably has better info. My experience is with German cars.
