Help with constant overheating.

so then how would i go about checking that? If i just got to hope thats it and replace it, i dont have the money to dish out if i dont need it right now.

Unbolt it and take it off for and run it a little. You will need to replace the gaskets. Cats can also be had cheap at summit racing.

Most likely head gasket. Maybe the water pump?

Yeah I am leaning toward the gasket as well. But check compression dry and wet first, then check the cat. You had a leak before the overheating, I would think gasket.

But, can cat just get clogged or just built up with s*** in just a matter of days? cuz im having the same problem... ive got nissam thermo, new water pump, new rad, new fan clutch, rad flush and im still overheating when i drive and im tired of pulling over... im going to buy a radiator fan and see if that helps, but i have changed everything cooling wise and its just frustrating... air bubbles cant be it cuz i bled it and went through rad for an hour... any solutions.

Well guys I checked the compression and i got : 180, 180, 170, 170. That is not to bad at all. The weird thing is when i pulled the fuel pump fuse it was running for a long time and i revved it to 3k without it dying out. I noticed that the spark plugs had a sufficient amount of gas on cylinder 1 and 4. They were also really dirty. I cleaned the MAF and the throttle body today. I'm going to give my car a tune up for when she does work. I'm thinking that the wires for 1 and 4 are not working properly. This would cause the car to shake excessively which it did and even stall. if this doesn't work then i may just pick up a 1jz
