Thread: Overheating?

Yea, I gotta agree. Shouldn't have brought it up.

I'm not that stupid.

I don't have access to all of the fancy tech stuff, so all I can do is change out parts until it's corrected. Will change the sensor first.

thermostat was the problem for me.. while dirving it would go to C then at a red light it would get to the middle..

careful though i bought a STANT thermostat and it was faulty still did the same thing..

i had to buy a stant heavy duty for a 01' sentra se since i have an vvl motor an it worked gr8

Sounds like my exact problem. Hmm. I plan on flushing the system this weekend anyway, so I'll change the t-stat while I'm in there. Thanks for the help guys.

Changed the thermostat and drained and filled the system. Gauge is still reading low. I'll change the sensor tomorrow and see if that changes anything.

Thanks for reporting back. I hope that changing the sensor takes care of the problem.

Bump from the dead. Just thought I would update this, in case anyone else runs into this problem. Apparently when the JDM motor was swapped into my car, the swapper left the JDM sensors on it. Not sure if that caused any issues, but I swapped the temp sensor for the gauge with the one on the old US motor and the gauge works fine now.

i agree on this post. i have red across my belly from doing that...it wasnt a good idea at the time.
