Replying to: KarenS (Jun 18, 2001 6:50 am) The problem is, my car will fail the inspection because the faulty code is still stored in memory, even though there is nothing wrong with my emission. I'd like to clear the code and then I should be all set after a couple days of driving. I know I could get to an autocenter to get them to reprogram the ECM or clear it but they would charge me for that and I would need to take off of work. I read that there is a way to do this manually by turning a screw next to the ECM. Problem is, I do not know where to find the ECM in my car. A detailed location would be most appreciated. (Please know that I am a bit of a car novice and so I don't know what you mean exactly by things like firewall and kickboard so if you can use lay terms I would appreciate it). Thanks! |

Recently I got a missfire code on my 2000 I30 so I took it to the dealer. Imagine my surprise when they told me it was caused by a defective coil and they had no way to tell which one so they must replace them all at a cost of $1100. I took the car back right away to a local mechanic. He replaced all the spark plugs (73,000 miles) and it has been running fine ever since. I have been thinking of getting a new G35 but after that little fiasco I think I will go see Toyota. This was my fourth and quite likely last Infiniti. Last year another Infiniti dealer wanted $495 to put rear brake pads on it.If they can't make a decent living giving honest value they should give it up!

That does seem rather stiff. At the one dealership here in the Big Breezy, I paid just over $150 for new front brakes in February; I had the back brakes redone *and* the rotors turned last fall for less than $300. (2000 I30, currently 95,400 miles.)

| I've been hearing a screeching noise (slight but annoying) which is getting worst. It sounds exactly like the sound made by a car which is having power steering problems. It isnt to the point where the sound is overwhelming but its definitely audible. Im wondering if this is the power steering pump. I hear the sound as I drive and the sound sometimes doesnt come at all but is showing up more regularly now. Any ideas anyone? and is this a job possibly for a Do-it-yourself guy? | |

I've got a 2001 I30 for 2.5 years now. It has 90K miles on it and there are no drive threatening problems yet though I have the O2 sensor related 'SES light' on for the past year. I changed the ingress sensor (the one that affects mileage) but left my egress sensors in failed state as my trusty mechanic said not to worry about them if I didn't want to fork out $600. The problem I have is intermittent but annoying never-the-less. On days when it is over 70F and the engine is restarted before it cools down, the engine makes a 'rattling chain' kind of noise when I accelerate between 30-45 mph. It's like a lose chain that is getting ready to come out of the pulley! It doesn't happen everytime (especially when the mechanic is checking it out) and my tranny works just fine (shifts okay). He said it could be very time consuming to find out but suggested premium fuel. That didn't make a difference as it was not an engine knocking sound. I can't imagine it being the timing chain? Anybody having a similar issue? The car has been running fine with that noise for 2 years but I cringe when I hear the sound as it should not be happening to a glorified Nissan. Thanks and great job over here... |
