What is your question?
Last week my Honda temp gauge started fluctuating when idle, but fine when I drove it. A lot of people recommended radiator flush, which I did. That fixed the problem...for 2.5 days. It start up again, but the car worked fine and didn't overheat. Then yesterday, when I started it, the engine sputtered for about 5 seconds and the check engine light came on. What am I possibly looking at?

Pressure test and verify no cracks in engine block. That was an issue with that generation Civic and had a warranty extension. You would have to check with your dealer to see if it is still covered (IF that is the problem).
Faulty thermostat or coolant temperature sensor, Diagnosis recommended.
