Check the radiator coolant level! When it is low, and RPMs decrease at low speeds or idle, the coolant isn't being circulated through the entire cooling system, such as the heater core! Be sure the engine is cool before opening the radiator cap and adding coolant! NEVER add coolant to a hot engine because it will crack the block or cause the head gasket to blow!

What would cause a 2002 Nissan altima air conditioner to run but not blow out cold air you have already recharged the system and it blew out cold air for a little while but now it doesn?

If you have the 3.5l V6 I'll be willing to bet it's the low pressure hose. I read that this is pretty common for the 2002 to 2005. Mine when out on me at 60,000 miles. The cost for a new hose $100 bucks from the Nissan dealership. Not including installation, and freeon recharging.

Does a mass air flow sensor need to be replace when you put a cold air intake on a 1991 Nissan Sentra?

No but if you do it wrong (oily filter or leaky connection) you can damage the sensor while driving making it necessary to replace that sensor later.


On a 94 Nissan sentra where does the power steering fluid go?

Depending on the type of engine that your Nissan has, the location may be different.What you are looking for should be black and cylinder shaped with a cap on the top.When you open it, it will have a short dipstick that is attached to the lid with a few different markings on it including a range of marks for cold fluid and a range of marks for hot fluid.


What may cause a 2002 Nissan sentra 1.8L to blow cold air and overheat when the thermostat has been replaced?

Sorry to say, and I know it doesn't make much sense, but you most likely have a blown headgasket. I'm in the midst of replacing the headgasket myself on my 2002 Sentra. Not sure why, but it seems this is not an uncommon issue with these cars. Exhaust gas is getting into the coolant galleys within the head, which creates an airbubble of sorts that creates the overheating problem. Don't drive it around too much or you risk warping the head. Take it to a mechanic. I thought it was a thermostat myself, hoping against hope. The cold air from the heater is a result of poor coolant circulation through the heater core due to the void created by the rupture in the headgasket.
