    Hello! To give background just did a headgasket job on my car... to sum it up it starts, but very poorly.. seems like it's only running on one cylinder.. checked timing and what not and it seems fine.. got gas in it so it leads me to the distributor.. I noticed these 4 prongs look a little used...

    Looking at a new distributor to replace the original: Thanks to CX members feedback, it seems that new Nissan OEM, Hitachi or Richporter are the preferred types. I noticed today that Cardone has new distributors too. Part No.84-58600 that says it is Hitachi. Appreciate any thoughts on the...

    Hi, I have 2001 Xterra se with nearly 238,000 miles that has some problems when driving. To start off, I recently inherited this car a couple of months ago and it had a cracked exhaust manifold. Once I replaced that manifold, the car ran perfectly for around a month. Recently though it has begun...

    Got an 02 Se/SC, certain the bearing in the distributor is shot, ordered a replacement. I don’t have a timing light, nor can I find anyone with one and part stores aren’t renting out tools anymore since scary covid. Im fairly certain I have to get the engine to TDC, with the rotor at position 1...

    The rig has 190,000 miles on it, and it's about to have a couple thousand more in a few weeks. I have a whole bunch of maintenance that I'm planning to do and need to know if there are any major danger points to be aware of. I'm replacing the belts, distributor, plugs, radiator, hoses, and...

    So I bought a 2000 v6 4x4 with 207,000 on it 2 weeks ago, other than a few minor things it purred like a kitten (only reason I bought with so many miles). Today while drive I noticed while going uphill it would kind of stall a little and cut out, kinda got worried. It was due for an oil change...

    This whole thing started about a month ago when I had a crank no start caused by a p0306 code. Replaced the distributor (and the cam shaft sensor) with an aftermarket part, and that cleared it up for a couple of months. I started getting another misfire last week and threw a p0306 misfire cyl...
  11. Repair Questions
    So I had a pretty bad misfire issue in cylinders 4 and 6 that turned into a crank no start a couple of weeks ago. Initially thought it was the fuel injectors based on the symptoms/diagnostic, so I did a fuel induction, which did nothing. Before getting into replacing the injectors, I decided...

    Vehicle: 2003 XTerra, M/T, VG33E Hello, I had a mechanic come to my home to diagnose a crank no start and he determined it to be the distributor coil. He also wanted $500 to replace it (also recommended replacing spark plugs @ $1200 thanks to the pesky #6) so I thought I would shop around, no...
  13. It Won't Start!!!
    I have an 02 3.3L Xterra that cranks but won't start. Recently replaced timing belt, distributor, and spark plugs. Problem started a few weeks ago. Wouldn't start one morning, cranking but not catching, so I went under the hood. I noticed the battery terminals were a little loose so I...

    I have been trying to set my timing after I did some work on my car and it requires you to disconnect the TPS sensor in order to adjust timing manually to 10 degrees btdc. However, when i disconnect my TPS my car fires up as normal but then dies immediately. I did remove my distributor when i...

    I have a 2003 X with the 3.3-SC engine that now has a little over 251k miles on it. Had the truck since it was brand new and plan to keep it. Lately, I've been battling some issues like oil leaks, etc. I just had the rear main and crankshaft seals replaced to stop oil leaks and did the valve...
  16. It Won't Start!!!
    So I have seen variations of this problem on this forum, but still having issues. Replaced the distributor, fuel filter, and Mass Air flow sensor, still has intermittent starting (cranks, wont fire up) when warm. Here's the longer story: It started after a few days I got back from a long trip...

    Thanks in advance for taking your time to read this and (hopefully) provide a little feedback for me. I've got a 2001 XTerra SE with 3.3L and automatic trans, 158k miles. I've owned it since '02, so basically all those miles are under my care. She's never given me any problems, but the harmonic...

  19. It Won't Start!!!
    When I got home from work, I backed around to park. When I put it in park it died on me as if I cut off the engine. I tried 2 or 3 times to start it. It will crank, but won't start. I thought it could be my knock sensor, cause that was the code it gave me when the check engine light came on, but...
  20. It Won't Start!!!
    Full disclosure...this is a 2000 VG33E frontier(125,000 miles), I've found more helpful information here while researching than elsewhere so I'm posting here. My truck died at idle while waiting for road construction at the bottom of a mountain pass...far from cell service. After it had died it...
