Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone could give me a pic or a good description of where the bleeder screw is for the coolan system on my 92 se.
let me know asap. thanks guys.

 

It's on top of the plenum, next to PCV valve. It's junk, don't bother messing around with it. Once the engine gets to a boiling point, it will shoot coolant crap all over your engine and the hole was so small, it will not be sufficient enough to get all bubbles out.

Instead a better way to do it is by jacking up the front up until front tires are raised 5-8" above the ground or place it on a ramp. Take the rad cap off, run the engine for 30-45mins.

 

I've had good luck getting most of the air out using the bleeder screw with the left side of the car jacked up a bit. you can get about 95% of air out with it, then I just overfill the coolant reservoir a bit and drive. the rad will heat up and blow the last of the air out with the liquid expansion and when you shut the car off, it'll suck the fluid back in and you're done.

Be glad you don't have a 6 gen. you have to use a special ($$$ Nissan tool $$$) rad cap adaptor and vacuum pump to suck the system to nothing, then suck the coolant out of a reservoir attached to a hose at the end of the adaptor. what a royal PITA.

 

we just bled mine using that screw with no ill effects.

 

The bolt is on top of the manifold, in front of the throttle body, next to the coolant temperature sensor. There's a gold tag on it saying something like "do not remove when engine is hot". Crack this bolt open a few turns, start the engine and warm it up and close the bolt when coolant starts running out.

 

hey man im having a hard time with my maxima right now... it is an 89 v6 3.0 and the fans arent turning on ....if their is a sensor i can umplug please let me know...

 

Sounds like a bad coolant temp sensor...

 

i guess my next question would be ... how do i get them to turn on with out running a switch... bypassing the sensor... at the turn of the key...

 

replace sensor. Its about $12 and you'll need some water/coolant. make sure the car is cold before you change it.

do you have a part number on that by any chance

 

or should i just ask for the fan sensor

 

Ask for the coolant temp sensor. If they are competent you'll get the right one. But the max has 2 sensors. One has 1 wire, thats for your gauge and the other has 2 wires thats for the computer. You need the 2 wire sensor.
