04 infinity G35 over heating no leaks replace Thermostat cooling sensor before I did all that The gauge will go up and down and now no heater

If your 2004 Infiniti G35 is still overheating after replacing the thermostat and cooling sensor, there may be a few other issues that could be causing the problem:
  1. Radiator blockage: The radiator may be blocked or clogged, preventing the coolant from flowing through it properly. This can cause the engine to overheat. To check for a blockage, visually inspect the radiator for any obstructions or debris, and flush the radiator to clear out any buildup.
  2. Water pump failure: The water pump circulates the coolant through the engine and radiator. If the water pump fails, the coolant will not circulate properly, and the engine can overheat. Check the water pump for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
  3. Fan clutch or electric fan failure: The fan clutch or electric fan is responsible for cooling the radiator when the car is idling or driving slowly. If the fan clutch or electric fan fails, the engine can overheat when the car is not moving. Check the fan clutch or electric fan for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
  4. Head gasket failure: If the head gasket is blown, coolant can leak into the engine cylinders, causing overheating and other problems. Check the head gasket for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
As for the no heat issue, it's possible that the overheating has caused damage to the heater core or other components. It's also possible that there is air trapped in the cooling system, preventing the coolant from flowing properly through the heater core. Bleeding the cooling system may resolve the issue.

Overheating problem for 1996 Hyundai lantra sportswagon

If you have already checked the radiator, fluids, thermostat, and thermo fans and your 1996 Hyundai Lantra Sportswagon is still overheating, there could be other issues causing the problem. Here are a few other things you can check:
  1. Water pump: The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant through the engine and radiator. If the water pump is not functioning properly, it can cause the engine to overheat.
  2. Head gasket: The head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block. If the head gasket is damaged or fails, it can allow coolant to leak into the engine, which can cause the engine to overheat.
  3. Cylinder head: If the cylinder head is cracked or damaged, it can cause the engine to overheat.
  4. Engine block: If the engine block is damaged or has a crack, it can cause the engine to overheat.
  5. Clogged radiator: If the radiator is clogged with debris, it can prevent the coolant from flowing properly and cause the engine to overheat.
To determine the cause of the overheating problem, it will be necessary to perform a thorough inspection of the engine and related components. If you are unable to locate the source of the problem or are not comfortable attempting to fix it yourself, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.

My 2002 ford escape is overheating though we've changed the cracked head

Check your thermostat, could be locked/closed and won't let water circulate through the engine block. Also make sure your radiator fan is working, after you start you car and the engine reaches the proper temp, your radiator fan should kick in to cool the engine.

92 nissan 300zx air bubbles in radiator

Bad news is the air bubbles are actually exhaust gases entering your coolant, you have a blown head gasket, and or bad head, which is also the overheating concern.

Kia 2700 overheating

could be a number of things, 1. water pump not working 2. Thermostat stuck (replace if its boiled) 3. air lock in system. 4. Head gasket. 5. cracked head/block. I presume you have checked that you belt is not broken, are there any signs of leaking around the waterpump? if there are, change the pump, If the engine has overheated, change the thermostat. these are the most common things, other than these 2 it is going to take further examination for cylinder head problems or blocked water ways. Go for the thermostat first, its probably the cheapest part to replace, and see if that cures your problem.

Car is overheating, thermostat was changed and the radiator was flushed, car does not overheat while idoling, but when you start driving it overheats

It sounds like water pump may be your problem. It circulates a 50/50 mixture of glycol (or some form of) and water through the engine block and cylinder head and back through the radiator. In the radiator the mixture is cooled when air passes over the fins of the radiator. This is accomplished by driving or a mechanical/electrical fan when stationary. The water pump also circulates the mixture through the heater core giving the car heat. If the water pump is not circulating the water back to the radiator to cool, it will overheat. More heat is caused by the engine when driving (much less heat when idling), hence the overheating while driving.
I hope this helps and good luck!
