exhaust pipe by pua691

I have 1996 I30 with just over 110k miles. There's a hole in my exhaust pipe (dealership informed me) so it's very loud (otherwise, engine always quite) so... until I can afford to get that fixed/replaced, I was wondering what kind or how much damage that will cause.. .while/since i'm still using it?
 
Oh, any idea on how much it will cost me to fix exhaust pipe? Can another repair shop fix it (beside dealership)?
 
I did get an estimate of all this from dealership, but misplaced it during my recent move (ha).
 
Thanks much for any advice!

2001 I30 replacement rear brakes by maddoke
Nov 29, 2007 (6:25 am)

replaced brakes with new infiniti pads at 70,000. Front pads were the same but rear were changed due to my Vin#. some spacer clips were attached toward rear of old brakes but the new pads seemed a little longer to make up for the difference. "Rattle clips" that were on backside of original brakes were taken off and put on new brakes and installed. Now theres a clanking metal rattle in rear wheels. Front brakes are fine. Infiniti parts says "rattle clips" for rear aren't available to order anymore and weren't included on the replacement pads. They thought maybe the metal on those could be rattling and maybe aren't needed? Also infiniti parts thinks there might be some sort of "spring" that sits on top of the center notch on each pad that holds brakes down tight? could that be it? Need help as now wife wants new car due to the rattling. Brakes work fine. I've taken the wheels off and looked at and seems to look normal but I know nothing!!

I had the same problem for several months. Finally got rid of it by changing the fuel filter and by cleaning the fuel system

Clean your fuel system and if required change the fuel filter. I was having the same problems. With the above it is working O.K

P0440 can be as trivial as a loose gas cap, or as cumbersome as a bad vacuum-relief valve on the fuel tank. Start with the easy stuff: check the gas cap.

It was the MAF sensor. Drives like new after I got it replaced. I had cleaned the fuel injectors before and it did not help. The manual says the fuel filter is maintenance free and does not have to replaced. I still have the pesky SES light for my rear O2 sensors but they haven't bothered me in 2 years. Not planning to spend $800 to get those changed....

I30 Won't Start - Fuel Issue? by jat2288
Dec 04, 2007 (5:07 pm)

I have a 99 I30 that cranks but won't start. When it was running, it would start hard but it would eventually turn over. Sometimes it would just crank and crank, then start. Other times it would crank and stall. The car would stall a few times, then start. The check engine light came on and stayed on, so I took it to the shop. They replaced 1 oxygen sensor and added treatment to the fuel system. The issue continued and the check engine light came back on. I took it back to the shop and they replaced the other 2 oxygen sensors. I brought the car home and that was the last time I could get it to start. I checked under the fuel tank and I can hear the fuel pump buzzing, so I think it is operating properly. I checked 3 plugs and they are dry after trying to start the car. I was trying to check the spark, and it shocked the crap out of me so I don't think it's electrical. I replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator valve, but no change. The car just cranks over and over again. If I spray starting fluid into the throttle body, the car will attempt to start. When this happens, if I push the gas pedal, the car will rev up to with a high rpm, but then it stalls immediately. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it is your tranny, I think you've got a problem with your motor mounts. Overnight your motor sinks down to bind on the shaft slightly, making it hard to get out of park, and second gear is when there is the most torque on the shaft, so it makes the engine jump slightly.Same thing happened to my son's G20. Easy fix with a good jack, just check for excess play and/or wear on the rubber in the mount
