My 01 Nissan Altima overheated because of a broken heater hose. Now my car won't start.

My 2001 Nissan Altima overheated because of a broken heater hose now my car won't start after I replaced heater hose. When I try to turn on I hear a loud sound almost like it wants to start but then it just a spinning sound. It will start after trying over and over again. but most of the time it does what I described above. I took starter to get tested and they said it was good. The cylanoid was also tested and was good.

When a car overheats it can do serious damage to the engine internals, including completely seizing the engine. It is common for overheating to blow a head gasket which would explain the bad starting. Unless you know how to diagnose these issues, you will need to take it to a repairer for an assessment. Be prepared for some very bad news.

SOURCE: Car Battery draining over night

Something is shorted and it could be very difficult to find sometimes. It could be something as simple as a button being pressed when it shouldn't turning on a light or feature that runs all the time, but in a 2001 that is unlikely as it should turn off all lights after a certain period of time. It could be something in the radio. What I suggest is to pull one fuse at a time for accessories, check your manual for what each fuse powers. If the battery still drains with that fuse out then put it back in a pull another. When you find the fuse that allows your battery to keep it's charge then you will have a much smaller field of offending components.

For example, if you pull the fuse that powers the radio and heater, and the battery keeps it's charge then you know it is either the heater or radio causing your problem.

This can take a few weeks to do completly but won't cost you a penny to do.

you can not see the starter on your vehicle from the top. you need to get under the car to see it. its right above the r/h (passenger) side axle, where the axle is going into the trans. this starter is also not that easy to replace for a novice or someone that does not work on cars. good luck.

Make sure you have the plug wires on the correct plug. Check the ignition timming to make sure it is correct. After running for a few minutes pull the pluggs to see whitch cylinders are running rich. The fuel pressure and volume need to be tested.

Additionally, try checking the power transistor. I will send the test. Also make sure the coil has a good ground...

You are replaced the starter, so, I'm assuming that you disconnected the battery and its possible that your THEFT system or PASSLOCK system is armed; check in the owners manual the disarm procedure.

Some aftermark alarm system there? Check some fuse blow underhood fuse box.

2002 nissan altima heater problem

have 2002 altima,blower works no heat at idle and very little heat when accelerating.I changed carbon cabin filter,made sure little gear under dash to temp knob wasnt broken,flushed and bled system.Nothing worked so checked hoses to heater core and found inlet hose was hot,outlet hose was not.So investigated this problem and came to conclusion heater core was clogged.An easy way to check is to get car to normal running temp. put on heater and blowers at full.Go under dash on passenger side where counsel meets firewall,this is where heater core core inlet and outlet aluminum tubbing go through firewall,you will be able to feel both tubes one closest to you is outlet, so if this one is not hot and and other is your heater core is clogged.I detached both inlet and outlet hoses to heater core from water control valve.Then I blasted water with waterhose and nozzle set at jet,first through outlet hose to blow gunk out,then through inlet hose until water runs clear.Reatach hoses fill and bled system.heater works great nice and hot!

My 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 won't start. I tried to jump it, but it has all the power. The starter seems to kick but the engine just wont start/turn over. I ended up having it towed to my house until...

it is a fuel pump mostly
but first check the fuel pump relay .
then make that test for the pump to make sure it is bad
unplug the fuel line (hose) from the throttle body tell a friend to make the key on position(not to turn it ) if the hose fail to squirt a dose of fuel then sure the fuel pump is dead
