It certainly can cause the condition, but so can TONS of other items: coolant level, bubbles in the coolant (air bleeds), reaiator restrictions.

You could test the thermostat, pull it and put into measured temprature water and observe it as you raise the temprature...

Nissan elgrand from EAA_9006641 has a problem of over heating removed the thermostat still overheating could this be a faulty water pump?

Yes it could. If you run your engine and wait till the thermostat opens you should be able to touch your radiator hoses and feel them get hot. The thermostat will open at whatever temperature it is rated for. If the radio hoses dont heat up then something blocked or not working. Remove your radiator cap and watch your fluid if it goes down when you hear the fan kick on then you know the thermostat is working. However take this off while the rad is cool or you will get burned by a boil over

Hi there I'm looking for some advice I have a Nissan pulsar 2000 no heat from the heater and car keeps overheating while driving I be flushed the radiator and heater core, replaced the thermostat

Crazy but have you put thermostat back in correct way? If so sounds like an air blockage. Fill radiator, leave cap off, put internal heater on hot and run engine until water is fully hot. Both top and bottom radiator hoses are hot. Sometimes therenis a bleed screw near the engine compartment bulkhead that needs opening to let trapped air out. If you have drained and refilled system and it only happened after that guarantee air lock. Good lick, let me know how you went plead.

2000 triumph tt600 radiator cooling fan doesn't come on I've tested the fan and it works , all the wires to the fan look ok anyone any ideas

Yes, the thermostat. I don't know exactly where yours is - but the thermostat is usually on the engine near a radiator hose. When cool, it stays closed to heat the coolant in the engine block and keeping hot coolant in the radiator to be cooled. Once the engine has heated the coolant to 185 ~ 200 degrees, the thermostat opens and allows the hot coolant from the engine to enter the radiator - which forces the colder coolant out and into the engine block - to keep it from over heating.

Your thermostat may be stuck - keeping it from opening / opening fully. You can test it be removing it and dropping it into a pot of boiling water on your stove - it should open in water that hot.

Do not work on the thermostat, radiator or coolant while the engine is hot. Opening the cooling system may result in spilling coolant and making a mess if you are unprepared for it.

My 95 Pathhfinder has started over heating, the coolant level is ok, and the water is moving. Have replaced radiator cap,and thermostat no help

OK, let's see, first, is it coolant or water? Coolant boils at 265 in a closed system, water boils at 220. Can you see any oil floating on top of water in radiator? Do you notice steam coming out the tail pipe at all? Is the radiator full of white rock looking stuff? Check the oil. And check all the above. If none of those symptoms show up, I would suspect just a clogged up radiator. A radiator shop can recore it or replace it. Hope this helps.

Hi I have Altima2005 auto trans, it starts normal but after running 5 or 6 KMs it starts shivering (like misfire), i just replaced its sp plugs but didn't work... any suggestion?

does it show to be overheating?? sounds like it could possibly be overheating..check water in radiator and then thermostat located inside upper radiator hose where hose is mounted on front of motor.. take the thermostat out and put in near boiling water and see if you see it open up... if your thermostat is not opening, it will cause the car to over heat after driving for awhile and cause what you are describing..

I have a 2000 nissan maxima and just recently i noticed it was running hot. so i took it to my mechanic and he advised i needed a new water pump. so he replaced the water pump and he is saying it is still...

hot engine usually due to clogged radiator or bad thermostat. Take out the thermostat and make sure it is opening fully in boiling water.
Look inside your radiator for signs of clogging. If yes, professionally flush or replace radiator.

Engine rapidly overheats,coolantvery near boils

Most likely the thermostat. The heater bypasses the thermostat. If the thermostat is blocked the only cooling is via the heater matrix. To check start the engine with the heater off and put your hand on the thermostat housing when the thermostat opens you should feel the housing get hot. If it doesn't the thermostat is faulty.
