If the noise is not from the wheel bearing and the wheel bearing is not loose, then check the drive axles for loosness.

Took it to my trusted mechanic (30 min drive), but he could not pin point from where the gas smell was coming. There was no dripping from any of the lines etc. His recommendation : wait some more for the condition to become worse! (fire in the cabin?).
Next day morning I opened the hood to find the fuel filter hose was wet with gas! All I had to do was to tighten the hose connector. Problem solved.
The gas leak was very small. When the engine was hot, it was evaporating very quickly, and therefore remained undetected. Cold engine conditions allowed the wet end of the hose remain and appear wet
Misc stuff:
squeaky brake pedal.
audio system not picking up much of the signal from my MP3 player when using the AUX IN port.
rattling coming from the center console storage in front of the gear shift.
Any solutions to these problems would be apperciated also.

just print that out, and take it to the stealership with you. they just have to make a change to the ecm. shouldn't take more than 15 minutes
I wouldn't buy this car again if I knew of this problem. (Should have test-driven it at higher speeds, too bad the dealerships are not open at night Also, should have test-driven an SL that I ended up with, not an SE that they had on the lot, but didn't think that there is a significant handling difference.
Will get rid of this car as soon as something else as attractive and with better handling comes out.
Try those pads on for size.
Good Luck,

My car is 1997 Nissan Altima. Does any one know how to disconnect the lever that connect throttle body and accelerator cable brace? This lever has two ball-shaped staff at both ends. I can not figure out how to disconnect it. Since the throttle body gasket has a little leak, it needs to disconnect this lever. Thanks.
nope. my altima has been absolutely flawless. an Ipod on the aux port actually sounds better than the the radio/cd.
Is the 95 nissan altima an OBDII or OBDI? Mine has 2 O2 sensors I have read that OBDI uses 1 sensor and OBDII uses 2,But when you look the scan tool in the store or on line it says for 1996 and up. My car was made 11/94.
Thank you

Solved the problem. Seems like it was a electronic component thermal regulator or thermo gauge ( a small piece of electronics) which measures temperature to turn the AC on or off. The dealer had the part in his warehouse so seems to be happening quite often. No problems so far after getting fixed.
good luck to all.
We are trying to get a list of people willing to complain to Nissan about the problem. And yes, the dealerships and the corporate office are aware of the problem.
Here is an email address if you are interested:

Question
Is the engine suppose to MOVE when you change from Park to Drive or park to Reverse?
This weekend when I was trying to find that noise and I had someone drive it slowly with the hood opened while I tried to locate the noise because the grinding noise tends to happen at around 1-1.5 RMPs. What I noticed what that the whole engine moves when you change what gear it's in. Is this normal?
any input would be greatly appreciated
Meaning I had better not forget to take my keys out of the car. Dealer advice, replace an actuator in the door. But, since my car looks showroom clean, I am not letting nyone remove door panels. When that happens, things usually don't fit back together without problems.
I'd get it fixed.
The engine noises I had on my altima turned out to a loose heat pan... it was a quick fix.
Also they replaced two filter that nissan had recalled. When you go into the dealership for an oil change they type in your VIN and it pulls up any recalls relevant to your particular car.
2. Check for exhaust manifold leaks and/or exhaust leaks under the hood.
3. Flush and bleed your hydraulic clutch system and inspect for external leakage.
Does anyone else have this situation?
What could cause it?
Any reason I should be concerned?
Thanks.

OK, had the codes read and they showed "knock sensor" and "transmission servo". I guess that's were to start.Still any suggestions will be appreciated.
