Hey! I just bought a 2001 I30t a couple months ago, and I'm having (i think) transmission issues. Once about 2 weeks ago and then once yesterday I was driving in stop and go traffic for like 15-20 minutes in HOT 90 degree weather and then all the sudden my car seemed to not go above 2nd gear. I couldn't go above 20-25 mph without my RPMs going out of control. It would kind be jumping between 1st/2nd or something and not go above 2nd. I had to very slowly pull off the freeway and would turn off the car and sit a few minutes, and then would drive back in a non-traffic route and the car would be fine. Anyone have any suggestions?? I took it to Infiniti after the first time and they said "is it working now?" and I said "well yeah at the moment". And they said there was nothing really they could test then. They told me to call them when it was happening, and of course last night when it happened THEY WERE CLOSED. Anyone have a similar problem? How did you fix it? Thanks, Josh

Replying to: joshh347 (Aug 15, 2007 11:11 am) It first started happening 1 month ago slowing down on the freeway, it down-shifted into first and then never up-shifted. The engine would wind up to 5k rpm staying at 20mph and never upshifting! I pulled over to the side of the road, turned it off, back on and it was fine again. It happened 3 more times in the last 2 weeks, and now the check engine light pops on each time. My local mechanic has been checking the code and it keeps coming up with faulty speed sensor; however, he did not think that was the problem and had me take it to the dealer... this is where it gets interesting... Kearny Mesa Infiniti says its the torque converter in the transmission and quoted me $5100!  It seems to me this is a more common problem than just a few instances, so you would think they would have it figured out by now. Anyone have any suggestions, or heard of a fix? I'm hoping it's some faulty sensor that can be replaced rather than the whole transmission! Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thanks, Stan |

I recently bought this 1999 I30 sedan with 88k miles. It runs very good however every time I use the vehicle for few miles and remove the gas tank cap, a huge amount of vapors came out of the tank. Also I can't top off because when I am filling out the tank it shows like it was already full. I have to fill out the tank slowly. If anyone have a similar problem please let me know how to fix it. |

Replying to: joshh347 (Aug 15, 2007 11:11 am) I took it to Hillsborough Trans and they checked it all out. Turns out the Infinity Dealer changed the wrong speed sensor. There are two and the one that sens msgs to trans (I think thats what they said) was bad. They changed that and no problem since. Can't wait until I get my statisfaction survey from Ray, but it hasn't come yet.

Changed all coils due to p1320 error. Car runs about 50% better but still hesitates upon first acceleration when sitting idle a few hours. It seems to go away after about 20 seconds after driving. Any suggestions for my mechanic? MAF problem? |

My A/C just quit working than the car would shake when accelerating like its not getting enough fuel or to much fuel........anyone experienced this???????????? (I am thinking Fuel Injectors) but not sure if that would have any impact on the A/c |

Replying to: jcchait (Sep 20, 2007 11:25 am)  70 before it allows me to go past 70 to 80 and the same thing at 80. Have not been able to enjoy the fruits of a 227 HP car for over a year now! Cleaned the fuel injectors, problem didn't go away. When the SES light was checked, it didn't return any codes for the MAF, just rear O2 sensors which I haven't changed for almost 2 years with no adverse effect on gas mileage or anything else. But it sure looks like a MAF problem. It's about a $450 fix and so I am planning to wait till next year to do it. In the mean time, any suggestions/feedback is appreciated.
