Turn the bolt counterclockwise while using the Nissan special service tool (or equivalent) to securely hold the central portion of the balancer. Be sure not to hold the outer circumference of the balancer or the pulley as that will damage...
Hi there. If the error code they gave you was P-0340, this indicates that the problem is with the camshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor calculates the rotational speed of the camshaft and where the camshaft is positioned in...
I am assuming that you are talking about you ABS light for your antilock braking system. You will need a slightly advanced computer scan tool to read the codes stored in the computer. From there, additional diagnosis can be performed....
Hello, thank you for writing in. You are correct in thinking that your charging system has failed. This is very likely the situation at hand. With that being said, you should still have your battery tested. Typically this is a...
There are many factors that may cause a vehicle not to start, especially after sitting for a long period of time. First, you will need to determine if there is any power to the car at all (i.e. do the...
Hello. From what you describe it sounds as if your vehicle may be experiencing more than one issue. Brakes not functioning are usually caused by serious issues with the brake system. If they are not functioning at all then that...
Yes it is and you should change it right away, because mileage is mileage and time is time. That baby is 15 years old. They tell you that you are supposed to change the belts and they are only good...
Check to see if the Theft Light is on or blinking while you are trying to start the vehicle. Try another key to see if the problem continues. If it does, then have the vehicle checked for fuel pressure and...
Hi There, Generally, the check engine light comes on when something fairly serious is going on with the vehicle. This can happen for many different reasons such as a faulty mass air flow sensor, a faulty O2 sensor, a bad...
Your engine requires spark, air, and fuel to start and run properly. Air is almost always present so that leaves spark and fuel. Depending on the vehicle, if a crankshaft sensor is faulty, the engine control unit may not receive...
You need to have the cooling system checked for overheating by pressure testing the system and checking for fan operation. The overflow reservoir should not spit out coolant even if you ran it hard. The engine is either overheating from...
Hey there. You could simply need a brake pad replacement, or there may be some hardware in the brake that is not sitting exactly where is should and makes a noise as soon as the disk starts to turn. Disk...
Hi. First thing to note is you should not be getting exhaust gases into the cab through the a/c vents unless you have an engine that is leaking exhaust. My recommendation is to have your engine checked for exhaust leaks,...
I'm going to guess that you have a power steering pump belt that is slipping. The slipping belt makes the squeal and the slower turning pump makes the wheel hard to turn. Your car may just need a new belt...
If the noise is coming from the front, two common possibilities come to mind. A front strut mount or a sway bar link. Both of these can produce a clunking sound when driving over bumps and undulations in the road....
Engine and transmission mounts are replaced on a mobile basis by certified mechanics dispatched by YourMechanic. The service to request is motor/transmission mount replacement. Harmonic balancers are relatively long-lived but there are a lot of variables that affect service life....
If the catalytic converter is not working properly, it will cause the symptons you described, such as very poor fuel mileage, poor performance and a fuel smell as this is the raw fuel coming out of the exhaust. This happens...
Noises in the valve train are usually consistent and don't change much with engine load. Noises that get stronger when accelerating may be deeper in the engine. But adjusting the valves is not too tough on your car so it...
Hi There, Depending on whether or not the vehicle will turn over will determine what the next step should be. If the engine does not turn over, I would recommend checking all connections related to the battery and check to...
The front end of the vehicle uses many components to ensure a good ride and decent handling. The suspension system ball joints or sway bar end links can become worn over time and allow for extra movement. This can be...
You can bet that's a no-no. Wheel bearings are both hidden by the big log and they have to be put down with a torque wrench for the perfect setting, because, if they are too loose they will wobble or...
