Has anyone had this??? :confuse:
Thanks
I am wondering about timing belt change on this engine. I heard a rumor that this engine uses a timing chain not a belt. Is this true??? It seems highly unlikely to me in a DOHC engine.
Also does anyone know if this in an interference or non-interference engine?? If its non-interference I won't mind waiting until there is some warmer weather to do the timing belt change, otherwise I want to do it ASAP. (the car has 101K mi. and I don't think it has ever been done. Thanks all for any info. Catam
Is this a problem anyone knows about? Will it be covered under warranty?
The chains are good for the life of the engine. Sometimes the chain tighten er might have to be replaced if the chain gets noisy. Steve
At 78k was told need new engine, took it to an independent who said it was fine, later at 80k replaced the O2 sensor (400) , then cat (800) , then found out the engine was indeed bad, best deal i have been offered on a new engine is about 4k..... from a dealer, thinking about a rebuild engine? Or trading ?? would the next dealer notice (i might be niave but an independent shop did not notice the problem). i figure if i can get about 5k for the trade i would be better off? What do u guys think? ... i am very upset with this car considering that i am 21 yrs old and really cant afford to repair this issue.
Wish me luck in trying to trade this OVERSIZED paper weight :sick: . Even though i know this is a 2002 only problem, TRUST ME... i WILL NEVER buy a Nissan again. I dont expect others not too (everyone has a right to choose) i myself am done with Nissan as a car company.
BTW my nissan also needs a new left strut (565) and the heater is not blowing, we might try to get a used engine or just repair the blown gasket to see if that would remedy it? Anyone have any input on just trying to repair the gasket, or would the engine be to severely damaged already???
Thanks in advance, and sorry for just a mis organized response.

I am planning on doing a full tune up and fluid change this spring, so I was wondering if anyone has changed their manual tranny fluid to synthetic, and if that helped with the balky shifter problem, which I gather is pretty common.
Thanks, Catam.

You will have to pull off the interior door panel and look at the linkage. Hope this helps, good luck.

The EGR valve is on top of the engine near the back. It is a round pear shaped can sitting on top of the intake manifold. It is held on by two 12mm nuts. After removing it, clean it with carb. cleaner to remove carbon deposists. The diaphram should move freely up and down.
To make the matters worse, the windshield was cracked due to gravel flying out of the dump truck on I-77 Got pulled over for driving with cracked windshield
The wind shield cannot be replaced unless the passenger door can be opened, so I had to pay $40 for the mechanic to get the Door dismantled. Now I know what the problem is, I will need an actuator ($101+) and the door locking pin ($81+) from the dealer and an extra $80 to have it installed. It will take 3+ days for it to arive, I will not be able to lock my car, so it is practically inoperable. What a week, and it is only Tuesday. Atleaset it does not snow in Columbia, otherwise I would be shoveling some more of the stuff. sorryt for the rant.
It sounded and felt as if the engine were flooded and wouldnt turn over even after I kept the peddle on the floor. Finally, after 6 or so tries it turned over and *so far* it hasn't happened again. :confuse:
1 needs tune up
2 spark plug is misfiring
3 timing needs adjusting
one or any or all of the above until you isolate it
best of luck to us all :surprise: :confuse:
