1988 Nissan Sentra Cooling
 

I just picked up this '88 Sentra 4-speed at auction for $375. It runs and drives fine, but runs on the hot side. Doesn't seem to overheat, but it might if I let it idle too long. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/...0/DSCF0293.jpg
136,000 miles.
Runs hot (according to gauge)
Cooling fans do not kick on
Coolant is obviously old and dirty (nasty brown color)
Poor heat from heater.

I am planning on flushing the coolant on Tuesday, since it's such a simple procedure on this car. I don't have access to AllData right now, anyone know where the thermostat is on these?

Just follow the upper radiator hose and you'll locate the thermostat.

Cool car! I have the same one, and even the same issue. Eventually, I realized it was low on coolant. A friend of mine figured that one out for me. I know, I probably should have figured that one out on my own,m but I really don't know much about how cars work, just know how to drive them.
