Why is my 2002 Nissan Frontier overheating?

While there are a variety of reasons your Nissan Frontier is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.

What should I do if my water pump is overheating?

Was raising out of nowhere, so I parked and turned it off, let it cool of 10 mins and turned it back on but it was still hot but the coolant was cooling the engine to normal temp. Then it was fine, it keeps doing that randomly so I replaced the thermostat and the coolant temp.

What happens when you replace your water pump?

Overheating after replacing water pump, thermostat and co… Q: Overheating after replacing water pump, thermostat and coolant temp. Sensor I was driving my truck one day and noticed that the temp gauge was raising as I got home, I turned the engine off and check the engine and noticed that the water pump was leaking, it had a hole on it, how?

What happens when a water pump loses Prime?

The internal components of a pump depend on the fluid flowing past them to keep them cool. If the pump loses prime, then the water inside of the pump casing can get extremely hot (due to the friction of the impeller) and eventually turn to steam.

What happens if you put the wrong coolant on a water pump?

The wrong coolant will also cause deposit-buildup inside the pump, which slows the ideal process of engine cooling. In addition to these signs of wear, you may also notice small holes from corrosion in the metal, or cavitation – vapor bubbles in the coolant liquid that collapse with enough force to create cavities on the mounting surface.
