The 2012 Nissan Sentra is one of the most versatile sedans in its class. Because it has such a wide variety of options available in its four trims, buyers can choose between a...
When you consider the Nissan Sentra versus the Nissan Altima, you need to realize that you’re crossing between two different classes of vehicle: the Altima is a mid-size sedan while the Sentra is a compact sedan. The differences...
If you make your living as a realtor or real estate agent, you may have a number of considerations when it comes to purchasing a used vehicle. The most...
Nissan requires that the battery in 2004 Sentra's have a minimum CCA rating of 355 amps. Therefore, your battery is adequate, unless it has failed of course. If lights dim momentarily when the fans come on, that means that the...
Code P0175 indicates that there is a rich fuel condition present in the motor which can cause the motor to be flooded with more fuel than it can effectively burn, which may cause it to shut down in some cases....
The Variable Valve Timing in your vehicle is designed to provide smoother idling, better power delivery and also helps to provide better fuel economy. In order to accomplish this, it often times requires either advancing or retarding the ignition and...
Hi Abraham. Thanks for contacting us today. A check engine light illuminates when an error code is triggered and stored in the ECU. Without knowing the exact code that is causing it, it's hard to provide you with advice on...
There are a number of different things that may cause the vehicle to not go into park such as a broken or damaged shift cable or mechanism, a faulty key tumbler in some cases, or a faulty transmission solenoid. I...
A number of things may cause code P0171 or P0174 to be triggered. As the codes indicate, this means there is a lean fuel condition which may be caused by a lack of fuel supply or in some cases, a...
High idle can be caused by a faulty idle air control valve (IAC valve). The IAC valve can fail or a faulty or blown fuse in other electronically controlled systems can cause the IAC motor to malfunction, leading to a...
Measure fuel pressure on the fuel rail. If the pump turns on, that's hopeful but it doesn't mean there is actual pressure. Also, check for actual injector operation using a noid light. Is there an actual spark at the spark...
If the poor acceleration is intermittent, that suggests a cause involving an electrically controlled component including sensors that send data to the PCM. To diagnose this, a real time scanner is applied to view actual engine operating parameters during the...
The motor is sealed so it is not likely that anything is wrong with the motor. You can definitely splice the wires back together. Be sure the circuit is off of course; as a precaution, you could pull the fuse...
Hi Kwa'Sean. Thanks for contacting us today. The reason you're having difficulty finding a dipstick is that there isn't one on a SPEC Nissan manual transmission. A manual transmission is not a hydraulic unit like an automatic, so replacing fluid...
Noise from the wheel may be a wheel bearing or brake issue and would need to be heard to isolate the problem for you. I would recommend getting a mechanic like one from YourMechanic to diagnose the noise to see...
It sounds like you may have a faulty transmission control module. A faulty transmission control module may cause a delay in acceleration or erratic shifting of gears. The transmission control module has various sensors such as vehicle speed sensors, wheel...
If replacing the sensors did not fix the problem then you will need to have the wiring and computer pinpoint tests done to try and isolate the problem. The computer or wiring may be causing the problem and would need...
Measure fuel pressure on the fuel rail on the engine. If the fuel pump turns on, that's hopeful but it doesn't mean there is actual pressure. Also, check for actual injector operation using a noid light. Is there an actual...
On your vehicle there are temperature sensors in the HVAC system, engine air induction, engine cooling, radiator fan control and elsewhere. If you are having difficulty with any of those components, please request service and the responding certified mechanic will...
The programming instructions are posted on the Internet at this link and here as well. In addition, technical support at Car and Truck Remotes (Tel: 1-866-690-4308) may have a suggestion. What I would suggest though is let the car operate...
Hi Selene. Thanks for contacting us tonight. It's quite possible that you've got a damaged relay or a ground that isn't correctly attached if the fan turns with physical 'stimulation' but not automatically. However, this could also be an ECU...
You may need to have the computer monitored while driving to see if there is problems in the transmission or computer sensors? Some aftermarket scanners cannot access all systems and may need to have a more advanced scanner to do...
If you car is having idling problems, an oxygen sensor might not be the answer. Most often I find engine idle problems to be caused by vacuum leaks or throttle body problems. If you are determined to replace an Oxygen...
