Want this question answered?
My Altima had that problem and it was the water pump going out. It started with temperature gauge was moving, but then it started leaking and finally the heater stopped being warm at idle.

A Nissan Frontier may be overheating because the radiator is cracked. A thermostat failure can also cause it to overheat.
My 2001 Nissan frontier 3.3 v6 engine is overheating. I changed the thermostat but it still overheats.
overheated and wont start
A bad thermostat can cause overheating in a Nissan Frontier when the air conditioning is turned on. A bad compressor can also cause this.
Overheating is due to, well, the coolant in the cooling system getting too hot. In a normally operating engine, this should never be a problem. First, check that the coolant level is correct. If it is correct, I would suspect a problem with the thermostat. When the engine is cold, the thermostat closes off coolant flow through the engine until the coolant reaches a pre-determined temperature. When that temperature is reached, the thermostat opens to allow the coolant to circulate at that exact temperature. Thermostats are known for failing and either not opening or not opening enough at that pre-determined temperature. This causes coolant to get trapped too long in the engine coolant chambers, heating it beyond limits, causing the engine temperature to increase and possibly overheat. If my Maxima was overheating, I would check the coolant levels and then possibly replace the thermostat. It usually is no more complicated than that.
sounds like a temperature sensor problem
nissan primera overheating after changing the water pump and radiator what could be the cause of this
There are numerous reasons why a Nissan Altima will overheat. One such reason is a closed thermostat or the radiator may be leaking.
you could be low on coolant
Get your radiator checked, may have blocked core
