It's likely you accidentally knocked a wire loose or something. If you can find the temperature sensor, check the wires. Also check all around where the air filter is to see if there's anything loose there too.

change in temperature causes change in pressure
If you have a manual transmission the stop button on the clutch switch may have broken apart, replace the stop button to fix the cruise control. You can get one at any Nissan Dealership.
if your computer gets ripped out from above the front right tire then your gas gauge and everything else wont work. poor American engineering, they couldn't think of a better place for the computer
More than likely it is because it is in different conditions than the official weather stations thermometer. An official thermometer is in the shade and has air circulation. This is how an official temperature gauge has to be set up. The temperature reading from your car could be higher for a number of reasons, partially dependent on where the thermometer sensor is located. It could be in direct sunlight, near the engine, or if you are on pavement it could be receiving ambient heat waves coming off the pavement. All three of these things could increase the temperature reading of your gauge.
try replacing the thermostat
Try replacing temperature sensor
They are usually located in the spare whell bracket
Its the same as most cars.. Just under half way on the gauge.
It seems that your thermostat is not opening.
Because the motor is running to hot try flushing your radiator and putting new coolant in.
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.
Potenially a bad temperature sensor or bad contact on the wire connector. Test for set voltage resistance according to temperature.
If it reads hot after the vehicle has been standing overnight, it is dead and needs replacing.
Try checking Fuse #7 10amp under the dash. This is for a 1997 model.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on a 2002 Nissan Sentra? my car s dashboard gauge shows my car is running hot the drops back down to normal any idea?[Improve]
either your gauge/sensor or your thermostat or both need replacing. Internal combustion engines do not run cool
