Just recently fixed main problem of misfire, that was a headache but today in good heat I got home and watched my revs bounce from 600-1500. I wont forget to mention that on cold start the revs sit at about 2000-2100, and don't go down until I drive it around. This problem is intermittent...

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 an 01 X and i bought the vehicle this way for dirt cheap with plans to fix it. It drives great if you keep it in 1st or 2nd gear but if you put it in drive it will just rev when it goes to shift into 3rd. p0744 and p0120 are the codes i have from scanning it. i just dont want to change...

I'm going to try and describe what my Xterra is doing to the best of my ability. At times, when I'm accelerating very slowly (low RPMs) the Xterra will delay its acceleration, the RPMs jump up (like if I pushed the clutch in or something) and then kick back in with accelerating when shifting...

I had to replace the TPS earlier this year. Lately the Xterra has had poor performance (downshifting when I accelerate slowly, and a loss of power perhaps). Well this weekend the light comes on and I checked it out. I get P1705 and P0328 (knock sensor). I read on here that the problem is rarely...

So I was getting the P0300 code and my distributor rotor was burned out and the bearing was bad. Went over to advance and bought a new one (cause I didn't wanna mess with rebuilding the old one) and installed it. To get to the screw easier, I took off the TPS. Well I put it all back together...

My problems all started with a P0325 and P1126 code. After deciding to go ahead and change the thermostat, I decided to also clean my throttle body. Like many other idiots on the interweb, I removed my tps without any thought that it has to be reset a certain way. I put it back on and it was...

Hello I need help with a problem. The story goes like this. In my infinite wisdom I was spraying the engine compartment with a pressure washer to try and clean it up a little. So I am really trying to be careful not to soak the distributor and I am staying pretty far away. The engine is running...

Hello- My 2000 Xterra which has never had any problems has been in the shop for almost 2 weeks now. She has 95K miles on her, M/T, V6 4X4. Driving back on New years the check engine light came on and the car started to buck, when I would hit the gas the throttle would not respond and sometimes...
