I have a 1995 Nissan Sentra and my car keeps overheating. Ive already changed the water pump, thermostat, oil, and antifreeze. Ive also checked the air filter and fuel filter. Also whenever the car overheats the radio shuts off but im not sure that has something to do with it or not. What could be the problem?
What can be the cause for my car to overheat?
other stuff can make it overheat too like maybe the fan not kicking on or the cooling system needs to be flushed, especially the radiator.
What can be the cause for my car to overheat?
make sure the fans are running. could be the fan or fan relay
Slack fan belt, Airlock in the water system, blocked radiator.
This assumes fluid is not leaking everywere:
Have you had a total flush?
Is fluid running into the overflow container? You may have a lose hose or a hose with a hole in it that is allowing air to get into the fluid system. Check the hoses for wear and tear, and the check the tightness of the clamps on the hoses.
You might check the seals on the radiator cap itself. Might grab a new one.
Many times, overheating, is simply because of faulty thermostat, which can easily be replaced. Water pumps, fluid/antifreeze levels, leak in a hose, are all culprits. DO NOT open the radiator cap if the car is hot!!! you will burn/hurt yourself...
at the bottom of intake manifold near the thermostat housing, there is a small hose.
it is called by-pass tube, water/coolant circulate or pass thru this by-pass tube,
check for leaks, crack hose/brittle hose
it will require a mechanic to work on it..
either have the intake manifold remove to have access on that by-pas tube or better if mechanic with small strong hand can work on that by-pass tube.. located in very tight space..
