hi..
I was wondering
why is my s14 95' 240sx is overheating?
I just installed the injen intake, and it starts to overheat on and off while im driving...Is it my thermostat? or something with the intake that is causing this to happen? Please let me know..I would really appreciate it..Thanx

It wouldnt be the Intake. 240SX's have a infomus overheating problem. Try to park your car on a driveway with the rear tires off the curb and the front headed up tword the driveway. So the coolant is pulled to the back of the engine. Open up the coolant cap and then add some coolant and water (50/50 mix) then start the car and see if it goes down or overflows. If it overflows then cover the cap and it SHOULD be fixed.  Hope this helps
