Car Overheating Bad

2005 G35 Coupe

Recently started having bad overheating problems. It gets hot quickly once I begin to drive and starts leaking and gurgling bad. At idle its nearly fine, just a very very slow rise.

Ive replaced the water pump, the thermostat, and the radiator. The expansion tank is not leaking anything.

It still leaks after driving bad and I dont know what else to do. I need to be able to drive this car.

You replaced the water pump? I thought that calls for pulling the engine out

Before you destroy your engine get your G to a radiator shop and have them pressure test your system. After installing everything in your cooling system you shouldn't have leaks even if you didn't get all the air out of your system, that's why the pressure test is necessary!

What about your 13 year old hoses and belts?

Was the water pump OEM or something else?

It was a pain but I got it with the engine in. Just removed the fan and the radiator for better access.

The hoses are all holding up, interestingly it began to overheat today and then it sat for a minute and then stopped overheating.

The water pump pump was from AutoZone.

AutoZone? There are several parts I wouldn't buy from auto parts stores, anything electronic or essential like a water pump or thermostat! If they're not working your Pressure test will reveal the area that's causing your over heating issues, they don't just disappear like your experiencing!
