This is actually a case study from my ebook and it shows what you should be looking for. Again, I am not 100% sure if this is your design on your model year, but this was a really common problem._x000D_

Hi I need some help and you seem to know what you are doing. I hope you can help direct me on this. I have a 94 Sentra, automatic, 1.6L. The care starts fine and runs ok but when driving and the engine warms up the carQuoted From college man: _x000D_

I would just stick with the OE style plugs. autolite or motor craft_x000D_
If you can get them in platinum tip even better._x000D_

agree OEM only. a different style aftermarket plug will give you absolutely zero peQuoted From dreamer2355: _x000D_

Yup, if you search around, allot of us post links to your video’s. We all love them and appreciate you making them._x000D_

That’s great! Thank you very much. Hope this one helps the OP fix his car.I believe on this engine there is a pcv elbow (that splits) that is underneath the intake manifold that you cannot see unless your underneath the car._x000D_

You need to find what’s missing when the car stops running. I wouldn’t go through all the trouble of dropping a fuel tank unless theres a good reason to do it._x000D_

@ ScannerDanner try posting a link here in the forum.Quoted From Thaik:
Yes, I have done a compression test, but I only did a dry one, and I got good results around 200 psi for all cylinders. I didn’t however did a leak down test since it seems there wasn’t any leak to look for.
Thanks everyone, that’s what I intend to do, replace the engine, but I’m hesitating between a rebuild one and a used low engine engine. Any experience with those? Warranty, reliability, cost?
Also, I’m currently looking for a mechanical oil pressure gauge. The thing is, should I look for “Oil pressure gauge”, those that you can also put in you cabin, or should I look for “Oil pressure tester” that are basically made for diagnostics purposes?
Is the latter more accurate and better for diagnosing engine problems?What is the price range I should look for when buying either of these products?
I found these:
http://www.equus.com/Product/6244/2%27% … -Gauge#top
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/access … 59573_0_0_First is a gauge that can be installed in the car and the other seems to be made for diagnostic purposes.
What do you think?Although I intend on replacing the engine, I have to make sure this engine really does have indeed an internal mechanical problem before doing anything.
To ScannerDanner, I don’t intend on letting the engine die, it just doesn’t feel for me to drive like this especially for a small 4-cylinder engine like mine, there’s just too much power lacking.
Btw, what does “OP” mean? Old Post?
Thanks
Sorry about the abbreviation. You need to not even think about a rebuild. Get one out of a junk yard. Drive this one until it dies. If you chose a rebuild you could be in the 1000s of dollars.
If you want to do an oil pressure test, just buy a tester not a dash mount kit.Quoted From Thaik:
From this, is it correct to conclude that rebuilding an engine and buying a rebuild (That’s what I meant by rebuild) engine is the same price?
About the oil pressure gauge and tester, what is the difference between them? Won’t a mechanical oil pressure gauge do just fine as a oil pressure tester or is it that the latter is more accurate?
Thanks.
Not sure about price differences, as for the gauge, just buy the cheapest mechanical oil pressure tester/gauge you can find. No need to get to fancy with this tool. Good luck to you my friend.
