Infiniti fx35 overheating

Driving down the road - everything is great and then, boom! No heat...5 minutes lates, the temp gauge goes to hot, car goes into save yourself mode and no acceleration. Checkec the radiator cap - it was "blown" (according to mechanics) and off we went with it "not blown". Did the same thing again, but this time, when I lost heat, I just pulled over and watched the gauge start to climb to hot. Turne it off and then drove it back to dealership. They'r saying (now) that it's most likely the head gasket and with 198,000 on the engine, not worth saving - too costly - about $4,000? Thoughts?

SOURCE: fuse for the cigarette lighter in Infinity FX35

is the only thing not working the cigarette lighter? the fuse that operates it is usually the accessories fuse, it normally operates the interior light as well, which fuse box have you checked,there is most likely one under the bonnet & there also may be one under the dash as well, it might well be that the cigarette lighter element is the problem,try another lighter....hope this helps....cheers

SOURCE: Infiniti FX35 Audio is not turning on.

haha. boys will be boys, right? can you give me the model and serial numbers on the radio unit? they should be stamped somewhere on it, so i can try to find some info on it.
first thing is to find the main power wires. does any of the wires match the schematics description of the ignition input, battery power input or negative/ground? the battery power is usually red, orange. the ignition input is usually yellow or pink. and the ground is usually brown or black. these wires are usually solid colors and should be thicker than the others.
are you able to tell where the inputs for these are on the unit?
do you know if the radio is tied into the security system?

SOURCE: HEAT NOT WORKING WHEN IDLE

Sounds like you may have a thermostat stuck open. Try taking a piece of cardboard and placing it in front of the radiato. Don't block it completely, but just limit some of the airflow. See if this helps.

Why does my heat gauge go up and down while I am driving down the road

Assuming the thermostat was properly installed, you are low on coolant (dont open cap if engine is hot) or your coolant temp sensor is bad.

I have a 2003 alero with the v-6 what happened was driving down the road the heater works fine. then all of a sudden it was blowing cold air and the temp gauge started climbing. it started blowing how air...

Sounds like the water pump is cavitating . Replace water pump. Check coolant level also. Open the bleeder valve usually located on thermostat housing to remove air from system. close valve when coolant is present while filling. close radiator cap and top off recovery bottle to correct level. These engines are prone to overheating, do not let temp gauge get in the red.

My 1999 Chevy Malibu runs hot? It started when it overheated. We changed the thermostat, then water pump, then temp sensor gauge and the temp gauge goes high but only when the heater stops blowing hot...

Air pockets will make the guage do that, and also cause your heat to come and go. Also, a poor radiator, as in rotting, or plugged up, will cause high temperature issues.

Temp gauge is rising at 3/4 of the way even while traveling down the interstate, once a/c was turned off it started to go back down but would still go up if sitting still running, what would cause this?

change the antifreeze and flush your system, its been hot lately so the motor heat goes up too, having the AC on makes the motor work harder, so thats normal that the temp would rise when its on. traveling on the road allows air to help cool the motor, sitting in traffic slows the air, so there again heat will increase
