Engine Cooling problem
1992 Nissan 240SX 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 240SX it recently started overheating. The car is in mint condition and still runs great with all the original parts and I have never had ny mechanical issues with the car since being purchased. I have replaced the thermostat and the radiator with the hopes that would resolve the issue. Now the car is still running great but the temperature gauge still reads hot but there is no "radiator smell" or no steam from under the hood.


WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY BABY?.........
SOMEONE HELP! ASAP[img:f85fba770e]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/590782_img043_1.jpg[/img:f85fba770e]

hi, sometimes the temp gauge will give a false reading, when the engine coolant temperature sensor,aka IAC. is faulty. I would have that checked, also you will need to verify that the radiator fan works too. and you should be good to go
