#515 of 559 Groan when making a right turn..HELP! by sophia087 Aug 17, 2009 (11:44 am)
Hi, I have a load groan/grinding noise coming from the right front side of my car when I make a right turn, reversing to the right into a parking spot, and even taking curves on the highway. It's starting to scare me, I don't know what it could be..maybe my power steering or my tires, struts..Can anyone help me?   Thank you, Sophia Replies to this message: refugeescamp (Aug 17, 2009 4:22 pm) sophia087 (Aug 19, 2009 2:32 pm)

Replying to: sophia087 (Aug 17, 2009 11:44 am) if it only happens when u turn your steering wheel all the way to the right and then turn its your right link thats loose. its not dangereous at all but if you want the noise to go away u can change it. Just try taking wider turns in the mean time so you don't have to turn your steering wheel all the way to prevent the noise. i think its like 100$ for a new one at infiniti Replies to this message: sophia087 (Aug 19, 2009 2:32 pm)
#517 of 559 Maf sensor by jhayes9835 Aug 18, 2009 (11:48 pm)
If I replace the maf sensor, does the ecm have to be reprogrammed? The check engine light was not on. If it has to be reprogrammed, can I do it myself or do I have to take it to the shop? If I can do it myself, can someone explain to me how to do it and where the ecm is located? Thanks for all the help. Jeff Replies to this message: refugeescamp (Aug 19, 2009 7:07 am)

Replying to: jhayes9835 (Aug 18, 2009 11:48 pm) No it doesn't have to be reprogrammed. They just use the machine to reset your error code but if the light goes off itself its fine.

Replying to: radagast1 (Aug 16, 2009 9:43 am) Sounds like your altenator. Try checking your battery life to see if its almost full (the altenator will drain it if faulty). Charge it up all the way and then try to start the car and see if it starts. If it does start then its your altenator that's not working anymore and your car is just choking on electricity. The clicking sound is because your battery is completely drained, due to your altenator.

Replying to: refugeescamp (Aug 17, 2009 4:22 pm) That's how the sound started out but it has gotten worse now it's starting to do it at even the smallest turns I don't even have to turn the steering wheel too much and it's way louder. It's still like a groan/creak/grind.I'm worried it's my power steering or something else that's expensive.
#521 of 559 high rpms during cruise by albqmike Aug 23, 2009 (8:16 am)
2000 I30, 160000 miles. driving 75 mph down the interstate with cruise on, about 3100 rpms. crest a hill and engine backs off to maintain speed, then suddenly, rpms jump to 4200 rpms and maintains 70 mph. when breaks are tapped to disengage cruise, rpms fall to 1000 and car is coasting. no feel of any acceleration or compression untill back up to about 4000 rpms. 600 mile trip, gas mileage fell from 29 mpg to 21 mpg. I've seen a couple posts similar to this indicating that it may be the variable speed sensor. when looking on-line for the part, i only find ABS (anti-lock breaking system?) speed sensors (1 each for front left and right and rear left and right). Anyone know where the variable speed sensor is, what it costs, (abs speed sensors go for about 150.00 each) and how to replace it. Thanks for the input.

Replying to: albqmike (Aug 23, 2009 8:16 am) Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago....Took it to a Nissan dealership....put it on computer and replaced the speed sensor for $301.25.....sensor was $150 I believe.
#523 of 559 waterpump replacement by nvdesertbum Aug 25, 2009 (8:40 pm)
I have a 1996 I30,I noticed today coolant leaking from front side of engine.I figure it's the waterpump leaking.Does anyone know how to go about changing the pump or where to get a manual to change it.I have mechanical back round and not afraid to tackle it.To look at a picture of the pump shows the timing chain drives it.
