I have a 2002 I35 i bought a couple of years ago with 68,000 miles on it. All of sudden my check engine comes on and its my oxygen sensors that need to be replaced, but also my car is making that same sound as yours. A rattling noise coming from under the engine it sounds like. I hear it when i roll my window down at the same speed 25-45 miles an hour. And i dont know what it is. I havent taken it anywhere to get checked. Have you figured out what the problem is? Please let me know. I am thinking about selling my car and getting something else. That noise doesnt sound to good.

2001 I30 bad gas mileage and clicking noise when accelerating by chpccm

I purchased my car Labor Day weekend. Since then, I have only been getting 13 - 19 mpg. Also noticed a clicking noise when accelerating on occasion.
 
Took it to the dealership. Had a tune up, changed air filter. Still no better on gas. Until this weekend when I put hwy miles on it. I actually almost got 21 mpg. The avg is 15-16 mpg.
 
Would a higher octane gas change the mileage as well as the clicking noise? I just use regular now.....I think 87 octane.

My 2000 (same engine) definitely gets better mileage with 91 octane, more than enough to offset the higher price. (On a road trip through Dixie where 93 was common, I averaged more than 28 mpg.) Typically I get 20-22 in town.

96 I30 no start by fuego0615

I have a 96 I30 and when I turn the key I get nothing. the battery, alternator and starter have been replaced. The battery terminals are clean and tight. I am thinking maybe it is the cable to the starter or a relay or something. I just wanted to know, where is the starter on this vehicle? Is it on top of the engine? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

When you turn the key do your lights and radio come on? If so, then you might want to check your ignition switch. I had the same problem, I would turn the key and lights and radio came on but it wouldn't turn over. My mechanic said the ignition switch was bad, had it replaced and I have no problems now. Hope that was a little helpful.

service engine soon light on by tozilla

Hi,
    My wife's is Infinite I30, 2000, the service engine soon light was on and
she took the car to dealer . The dealer told her, oh, one of the chip is bad,
you need to replace it, or you won't pass the smog test. They seems to
dodge any question my wife asked...
    They charged $700 for parts and labor for it. Could someone told me what's really going on? Is it really that expensive ?? (I guess not)
 
Thanks a lot !!
Doug

Did you get a detailed description the diagnosis and what they charged you for? Look on the paperwork and somewhere in the diagnostics there should be a code such as P0440 or P0300. Tell me what the code is and I may be able to give you more information. If it is not on there, you should ask the dealership (and they should tell you!) what code they pulled when they hooked the car up to a scan tool.

Warning Lights On: tcs off, slip, service engine soon by art26

I own a 2000 Infiniti I-30t (190,000 miles) I was driving at 60 mph. The ride became lightly rough, couldn't tell whether it was engine or transmission related. Moments later the tcs off, slip, and service engine soon warning lights came on. I pulled over and noticed a slight burned smell, but could find no problem. Started the car again after about 10 minutes. The service engine soon light remained on but the other two were off. Drove for 15 minutes with no further problem. Has anyone experienced a problem like this, or does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
   The description is way too simple.
 
Job: A/T Module , Parts: $599.85 Labor: $105.00
Error code: P1605
 
No further explanation...
 
Any idea what exactly is this module ?
 
Doug..
