| Just moved my sons car, '97 I30, to CA and need to have the emissions certified, but they won't look at the car if the SES light is on. the Infiniti dealer said the codes show it needs a new knock sensor ($550) and has an intermittent speed sensor fault ($650). The car is not worth that much. Any ideas on how to change these myself and get the flash reprogrammed to shut off the SES light on the cheap? | |

| my 99 I30 (127000 miles) just went through some really fun repairs - the brake light and batt light came on after I got gas, and it sounded terrible until the lower engine pulley dropped out while I was driving. the mechanic replaced it, took it out for a test drive and it dropped out again. my a/c compressor was frozen causing the belts to tighten leading to the pulley to drop, so they replaced that too and it runs like brand new. 2 days later the ses light came on - (not too long after getting gas) - so I've checked the cap - how long does it take for that to reset if it's the problem or do I have to do something? | |

We have an I30 with 130,000 miles. The car consistently stalls while idling at traffic lights. We have replaced an idle control mechanism (sorry I don't know exact term) and have also tried cleaning out the injectors. The repair facility we use said that the machine for cleaning fuel injectors they had would not work with the I30, so the injectors might still be a possibility. They also noticed a hesitation in the engine at 3500 rpms to about 4000 rpms. The repair facility then suggested replacing the catalytic convertors. We have had no check engine lights come on. The car runs smoothly while driving.

my i30 will seem 2 misfire about half the time i use it and the chk engine light will flash when the problemreaccurs. I have had three different garages try to fix it and have replaced the O2 sensors. The problem code P0171 is what comes up. I found that if i add fuel injectr cleaner to the car it helps for a little while. Any help would b much appreciated.

Replying to: i30ct (Jan 15, 2008 10:05 am) So the engine is running lean. Most common causes would be: Defective or contaminated airflow sensor (MAF) intake vacuum leak dirty fuel filter The 02 sensors would not have been my first guess, but ho harm in replacing them----they do get old. |
