Replying to: maluheart (Jan 22, 2007 2:37 pm) hey, my 02 sentra had the exact same problem. it started dying on the highway and on the street and finally wouldn't start. i had a mechanic look at it and he charged me $500 for a mass-air flow sensor and the problem didn't go away. it turns out, the car totally needs to be taken to a dealer. it is a problem with the lining around the computer and a cam sensor in the engine. both were recalls (don't fret, i didn't receive any word either) and nissan fixed them both totally for free and the car has run perfect since (the warranty period was up and they still fixed them for free). i had a great experience with the dealer, surprisingly enough. they will help you. even if you were to just call them they should know exactly what is wrong and help you.

#1978 of 2040 Re: '97 Sentra in winter [bruuklin] by dtownfb Jan 25, 2007 (11:40 am)
Replying to: bruuklin (Jan 14, 2007 5:16 pm) Winters in NJ are normally not too bad. The northern part near the mountains is worst then the shore area. there has been the occasional bad winter with 60+ inches of snow but normally only get a few storms a year (20 inches). hardly worth it to get dedicated snow tires. Just make sure you have good tread on your tires.   I would invest in winter wiper blades and the winter blend of washer fluid. You may also want to get "Dry Gas". Although water in the gas tank is a thing of the past, I do pour an occasional bottle into the tank during winter months. Keep a blanket, jumper cable, collapsible shovel and brush in the trunk.   Generally speaking, nobody drives well in the snow so if they are calling for a big storm, stay home if you can.

Replying to: dlbest23 (Jan 23, 2007 12:28 am) Does anyone know if the codes for the ECU and the 02 sensor are the same? I just had my 02 sensor replaced and now the dealership is telling me that the ECU needs to be replaced and keep in mind that i just had the sensor replaced just 3 days before they gave me the ECU diagnosis. Also, they are charging me for everything which in total will be $1310. Replies to this message: bobincalif (Apr 21, 2007 2:49 pm)
#1980 of 2040 Rattle in B pillar - 2007 by rasldasl Apr 21, 2007 (1:37 pm)
My new Sentra has a developed a nearly contstant rattle in the passenger side B pillar on rough roads and bumps (which constitutes nearly all roads here in New Jersey). The driver's side is starting to rattle a bit, too. The mechanic at the dealer looked at it and said he pulled off the cover of the seat belt adjuster (not sure exactly which piece he meant) and did not find anything loose. We went on a test drive and while it rattled a bit over hard bumps it was pretty quiet and I thought maybe he had fixed it just by removing and replacing whatever cover it was. Then I drove home and on the way it started back with it's old tricks, rattling over every joint in the concrete pavement. Anybody out there have any ideas?
#1981 of 2040 Re: 2002 Sentra Computer (ECU) replacement [tquin] by bobincalif Apr 21, 2007 (2:49 pm)
Replying to: tquin (Mar 13, 2007 2:43 pm) The "ECU" is the electronic Control Unit,(the computer.) The 02 sensor is the "Oxygen sensor", which is located on the exhaust manifold. The ECU is located at one of several locations inside your car, like under the dash, under one of the front seats, or under the floor shift console. You didn't give a year and model, so I had to generalize.                             ...Bob...
#1982 of 2040 1994 Sentra by dado3 Apr 26, 2007 (6:59 pm)
I'd like some help in troubleshooting a problem with the cruise control on my car. It's a 1994 Sentra XE 1.6 liter, with 200k. The switch responds, but the cruise doesn't activate from the steering wheel. I checked the fuse panel and everything seems alright, but don't know where else to go.
#1984 of 2040 2001 Sentra XE MAJOR ISSUES --- HELP!!! by shawnakr May 17, 2007 (10:55 am)
OK, I have owned my 01 Sentra since 2003 (bought it second hand in perfect condition). I have been fortunate enough not to have any major issues with the vehicle, except for the brakes sticking after I parked it for 4 months, and the damn plastic tip of the dipstick broke off, Murphy's Law - I was just heading out for vacation.   I have taken such good care of this car, always to the dealership, always on time (well, maybe a few exceptions). I took my car in this morning because it was jolting and then the engine light came on. I was told that it was a blown head gasket - a minimum $1000 to fix. Here's the catch, my car only has 76,000km and has never overheated (which they said was the cause). I consulted outside Nissan and every single mechanic I spoke with was astounded.   I have phoned Nissan Canada, and they said that my car is too far past warranty to cover it.   Has anyone had ANY luck with the corporate side in them paying for problems outside of warranty? And has anyone encountered such a problem?   Please help!! Replies to this message: maegen216 (Jun 25, 2007 12:53 am)
