My 01 Nissan Sentra is running hot when I drive, with no heat. I have replaced the thermostat and topped the coolant but no help. It stays normal temp when started in park with no heat in interior, but when I begin to drive it starts to get hot, with still no heat. Any help?

Possibly a bad head gasket. Are bubbles coming up in the coolant?

SOURCE: Water Temperature

I wouldn't, but it sounds like the sensor may be going.

SOURCE: No interior heat until I start to drive

You most likely have an "AIR LOCK" within the Heater Core. This requires one to pressurize the Cooling System and loosen the heater hose at the HIGHEST POINT and bleed the Air out of the Heater Core. I am not familiar with the Nissan but have encountered this problem numerous times over the years. Most late model vehicles are equipped with Air Bleed devices which must be utilized any time coolant is drained and refilled.

Most all reputable Auto Parts stores sell and/or rent a pump that temporarily replaces the Pressure Cap that may be utilized to pressurize the system for this purpose. If you don't feel capable of performing the bleeding operation take your vehicle to an ASE Certified Mechanic and have it done correctly.

Testimonial: "Great advice. That's what I thought it might be, but I wanted someone else's opinion on the matter. Thanks a lot."

No heat in 94 nissan sentra..fan works it is just

This sounds like the thermostat needs replacing as long as the radiator has the proper coolant level. If your vehicle has a temperature guage watch it to see if it is at normal operating temperature after the warm up period. If the temperature goes up and down or doesn't reach what is the normal temperature that is the problem. Normally a bad thermostat will stay open which causes the engine temperature to be much cooler than normal thus no heat.

No heat ..help installed new heater switch, replaced water pump..replaced coolants, and thermostat......................what else could it be? Nissan 2003 GXE Sentra 1.8 L Engine/...

you could have an air pocket in the cooling system that has to be burped. With a cold engine, park uphill and leave the radiator cap loose. Fill radiator and coolant reservoir. Start engine with cap loose and run at 1500 rpm until temp gauge reads normal. Feel if top radiator return hose from engine to radiator is hot. If yes, coolant is flowing and thermostat is open. If cold, thermostat is not staying closed until engine is hot.

report results.

No heat

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!

I have a 05 Nissan Sentra and it keeps running hot and the heat isn't blowing hot. But when Im under the hood the hoses runing from the radiator and thermastat; the top hose gets really hot while the...

Hey iisha, although obvious, 1st thing to check is the coolant level. If it's low, the engine will run hot and the low level prevents coolant from circulating to the heater core inside the car, so the result is little or no heat, but engine running hot situation. The top rad. hose takes hot coolant from the engine, it flows down thru the radiator where it is cooled (w/ help from the fan) and the coolant returns to the engine at a reduced temp. to keep the temp under control, and it's returned thru the bottom hose (the result is the bottom hose should be cooler thant the top. There's more involved than that, so 1st check your coolant level, if it's ok let me know I'll help further. Hopefully the fix is that simple, and it is a rather common problem.
