Temp. Rising.

[Andrew200sx]

Alright lads, may sound stupid. But temp needle rises up to just before the red mark in car. It will happen when i drive a bit hard. ( i dont meanredline in every gear) any way to cure this problem?

Another problem i have is the car can take notions of being jumpy, may only happen twice a week. But when over about 3k rpm it wil pull on trough as normal.

Temp issue is coolant flow problem, check your radiator is flowing properly and not blocked, also check your radiator is in good condition, alloy radiator may be the answer, also check your thermostat is opening

missing before 3k rpm could be plugs or lambda sensor or a few other sensors, best to do a self diagnostic with the ecu if its a Nissan

Ya definetly get ur rad pressure tested to see if she isent blocked at some stage and take out ur thermostat and stick it into boiling water to see wha happens that's how I checked mine before
