2003 nissan sentra gxe
I was driving down the road yesterday and i had heat, probably driving 20 miles a hour due to snow traffic, the heat went to cold and the car started overheating,if i would step on the gas to a higher rpm the temp. gauge would drop but no heat,I replaced the thermastat and the same problem,checked the oil for milky features as if water in the oil, none. I want to replace the water pump because of the higher rpm's the cooler the temp. i would really appreciate some good advise.

You will need a new catalytic convertor assembly. Yours is below treshold efficiency in other words its "no good".If you have it replaced, ask the garage/dealer to give you the old one back. Its worth some cash if its full. It doesn't matter thet it failed. They are going after the mesh inside of it and that is worth some $$$$. May not be much , but better than nothing.
does the car overheat at idle or travelling down the road? if the thermostat was not changed, thats first step. checking it is replacing it. possibly air-bound. then i would suspect a headgasket problem.
