Best Answer

When an engine overheats the head or block or both can crack or the head and/or block can warp or you can be lucky and none of the above might happen. If the head warps your head gasket will fail. If the head and/or block crack you will need to find replacments. If the block warps you will need to bore the cylinders and align bore the lower end. None of the above are cheap.

Your 2005 Nissan Altima has no heat when the car is standing still?

My 2005 Nissan Altima is doing the same thing. The car has no heat when the car is stopped. You have to be going at a steady pace for it to stay warm. I have had the car looked at, at a Nissan dealership but without paying $800 dollars it can't be fixed..and there is no guerantee that it will work after the work. The dealership guy said he has alot of people complain about the heater in the 2005 Altima. Nissian won't do anything about it he said.
