Quoted From dreamer2355:
Mine was a 1997 Nissan Altima. I loved that vehicle and thats the one that got me started on my automotive journey. Unfortunately, the engine over heated and the rest is history. And yes, i miss it 🙁 The KA24DE is a very good motor.
And my wife loves your animated avatar pic C8-)
it always seems that first car has a footprint on our lifes… some are fortunate to still own that vehicle, but some gave it up…i still remeber the VIN, odometer, and plate #…
the special crankshaft holding tool is on sale at amazon for $15…free shipping…..if you purchase eric”s 1990-2002 timing belt replacement video, he will show you a fastener to fastener procedure, and save you $ by not having to purchase the special tool……put some elbow grease into it…great investment…..
Quoted From SpawnedX:
If it is in limp without a code it generally indicates the actual mechanics of the transmission are the issue. I don’t have a 1g fuse panel diagram…search dsmtuners.com for one. Most people with this issue with these cars are getting it because of a bad TCU.
just finished my search and tommarow will put into action….dsmtuners is a great forum and learned these trans have faulty TCU’s….thanks for the tip…either that or a solenoid wire broke loose…
each his own…its all hard work, and time consuming…i have pm scotty and stated the fact his video’s are short and he responded that nobody will watch full length vids…his tire screeching intro really gets my nerves frazzled,,,W-|
is the idle too low? also you say it shakes at 50-60..whats shaking=the steering wheel, because ive never owned a car that the engine shakes at highway speeds..what does it idle at?
Quoted From EricTheCarGuy:
I think your looking at 2 different problems, first the easy one is the vibration 50-60, that’s classic tire balance, I would have the tires balanced and then recheck for that. As for the idle issue I have my Honda idle speech ready to go, here it is.
There are a lot of things that can contribute to an idle issue, in fact in the end it may still be there to some degree because of the nature of that engine however here are some things to start with.First start with a good tune up, use NGK or Nippon Denso plugs, don’t change the wires if they are OE, if they aren’t OE you might consider NGK wires as they are very good and less expensive then OE. A quality cap and rotor should be good. A new air filter also helps.Don’t change the PCV valve, if you see an aftermarket PCV valve in there put a Honda in, believe it or not I’ve seen idle issues caused by aftermarket PCV valves, the OE’s last just about forever so you can easily justify the expense.Next a good valve adjustment, this goes a long way to smooth out the idle if done correctly, mess it up and things can get a lot worse though.While you have the valve cover off check the timing belt tension, if you feel a lot of slack this can cause the cam to ‘chunk’ as it spins causing a rough idle. If you think the belt has been on there for some time then you might consider changing it and resetting the tension properly, if it’s not ready for replacement you can reset the tension to take up the slack.DO NOT adjust the idle screw under any circumstances, it is set at the factory and that is the reason it was sealed in the first place. If you find that the seal has been broken and you have a low idle and you have done all of the above then you might turn the screw out a little to see if that helps the idle but only enough to try and bring it back to where it was before it was adjusted in the first place.Last clean the screen in the Idle Air Control valve, this can get clogged up with carbon over time and cause the flow through it to be restricted which can cause idle issues.If you still have a ‘rough’ idle after all of this THEN look to the engine mounts as you want to be sure the engine is running correctly before you go for those as the one in the back is a real pain to replace.well said
sounds pertty cool to me..where did you buy that flame thrower? amazon?……is it running rich? is a backfire? only at high rev’s when shifting of normal crusie mode?…..
Quoted From dreamer2355:
So if im understanding you correctly, the vehicle red lines and doesn’t shift, such as excessive slipping of the trans?
Do you have a check engline light? Is the auto trans controlled by shift solenoids, TV cable or a vacuum modulator?
no slippage,,it will get up to speed but in high gear…..no check engine light..as far as what controls it=?…i have a hanyes manual and it states it has some kind of box located in front of the gear selector inside the car…
