I would recommend that you bleed all air out of the cooling system. The bleeder valve is located on top of the engine. Once engine starts to overheat or when you can hear bubbling back into the overflow bottle, turn car off and open bleeder valve. If you see bubbling you have air in your system. Bleed the system a couple of times and see if this helps.A heat sensor sending unit which controls activation of the electric fan could also have failed.But is the heat sensor is properly working then check the radiator cap is it properly fitted or got loose.If its loose it will release the pressure and car will overheat.But if the radiator cap is properly closed.Then its time to check the HEAD GASKET.As you have mostly replaced all the possible faults for overheating and if other mentioned possibilities are checked OK.Then its time to check and replace head gasket. Thanks. you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

04 infinity G35 over heating no leaks replace Thermostat cooling sensor before I did all that The gauge will go up and down and now no heater

If your 2004 Infiniti G35 is still overheating after replacing the thermostat and cooling sensor, there may be a few other issues that could be causing the problem:
  1. Radiator blockage: The radiator may be blocked or clogged, preventing the coolant from flowing through it properly. This can cause the engine to overheat. To check for a blockage, visually inspect the radiator for any obstructions or debris, and flush the radiator to clear out any buildup.
  2. Water pump failure: The water pump circulates the coolant through the engine and radiator. If the water pump fails, the coolant will not circulate properly, and the engine can overheat. Check the water pump for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
  3. Fan clutch or electric fan failure: The fan clutch or electric fan is responsible for cooling the radiator when the car is idling or driving slowly. If the fan clutch or electric fan fails, the engine can overheat when the car is not moving. Check the fan clutch or electric fan for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
  4. Head gasket failure: If the head gasket is blown, coolant can leak into the engine cylinders, causing overheating and other problems. Check the head gasket for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
As for the no heat issue, it's possible that the overheating has caused damage to the heater core or other components. It's also possible that there is air trapped in the cooling system, preventing the coolant from flowing properly through the heater core. Bleeding the cooling system may resolve the issue.

2004 Jeep wrangler 4.0 - 6cyl overheating

I had the same overheating problem in my jeep ! My problem was finaly found out to be the clutch in my fan its a different kind of clutch system it work as this. When your jeep gets warmer the tighter your fan clutch gets .While cool your fan moves slowly. now to test your clutch just warm up your jeep and rev it up a bit if your fan dose not pick up speed then it is sliping.What will come out of this is that you fan will the seez and run full all the time. if you jeep dose not overheat wile moving then it is not your thermo stat period.
