#524 of 559 1996 I30 Ignition Switch... by tbo452 Aug 26, 2009 (8:18 pm)
I've seen lots of posts about starting problems, and I would like to know if there is a way to bypass/check/test the Ignition Switch before getting a new one. Thanks, Tony.
#525 of 559 1999 I30 bucks like a bronco when fuel level is low by ted45 Sep 01, 2009 (11:43 am)
I had to have the fuel pump replaced a while back, since then the car has to cranked several times, when cold and the fuel level is low, and when the fuel light comes on it starts bucking like a bronco. I took the car back to the repair shop and they replaced the fuel regulator but this has not solved the problem, the car still does the same things described above.
#526 of 559 0171 Code by bobfl Sep 07, 2009 (7:18 am)
Hi, Just got a 0171 code (Lean fuel mixture in bank 1) I'm guessing that its the MAF sensor. Anyone else had this code, comments?   2000 I30 85,000 miles   Bob Replies to this message: bobfl (Sep 12, 2009 3:11 pm)
#527 of 559 1996 I30t Back Door Panel by rubikees Sep 12, 2009 (2:06 pm)
How do you get the back door panel off? I have disconnected the bottom pins and the side pins. I have removed the latch plastic piece but it is not coming off. I have missed something but i cannot see it.

Replying to: bobfl (Sep 07, 2009 7:18 am) FYI pulled the MAF sensor and cleaned it with CRC MAF sensor cleaner (really!) put it back and its running like brand new. Bet I saved $300 to $400 over "Stealer" cost. Got the cleaner it Pep Boys $7.99 and some Torx bits and its now all set!   Bob
#529 of 559 Engine oil in the intake manifold by jhayes9835 Sep 15, 2009 (9:56 pm)
I have an 1996 Infiniti I30 and yesterday it ran rough and would not start. I pulled the maf off and there was a lot of oil in the manifold. I checked the oil dipstick and the oil does not look milky but the oil level seems to be more than normal. My son said he did not notice any warning lights. He did say that it sounded louder than normal. What could be the problem? Blown head gasket? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.
#530 of 559 Engine oil in intake by fuego0615 Sep 16, 2009 (3:51 am)
Usually oil in the intake, especially if it is all the way by the MAF is from blow by. This generally happens when the piston rings are wearing and unburned fuel and oil are sucked into the crankcase or if your intake valves are worn it may get sucked back into the intake. Check your PCV valve to make sure it isn't blocked and what does your air filter look like?

The air filter looks fine. If it was rings or valves, wouldn't there be blue smoke leading up to that? This happened all of a sudden. Where is the pcv valve located? If that is defective, after I replace it, what do I do about the oil in the manifold? Thank you Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 16, 2009 7:21 am)

Replying to: jhayes9835 (Sep 16, 2009 4:19 am) If you do a cylinder leakdown test, that'll answer the question as to whether you have severe internal engine wear or not. Your PCV valve could not handle the amount of oil thrown up by blow-by, even if it were working properly. A completely clogged PCV valve would cause a lot of crankcase pressure but then a clogged PCV would not allow the blow by into the intake--it would have to push out through various gaskets, causing lots of visible oil leaks.   Replacing the PCV is a cheap and a good guess, but it reallyl doesn't answer the bigger question. You may be treating a symptom and not a cause.   Visiting Host
#533 of 559 transmission by debful Sep 20, 2009 (4:13 pm)
Hi, Im new to this forum, so Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, or if this has been discussed already. I just had my 1996 Infinity, I-30 in the shop to have the right side ball bearings replace and the mass air flow sensor replaced. I payed $500 for the repairs, drove maybe 20 minutes, had to stop at a 3way stop, when it was my turn to go, I put my foot on the gas pedal, heard a thump, it felt like something fell from the bottom of my car..and it wouldn't move, not drive, not reverse, nothing. I put on my hazards, got out of the car looked underneath because I was sure something had fallen. There was nothing there, and no leakage. I called a tow truck and had the car towed back to repair shop. They were closed so I left a note and the key in their drop box. But as the car was being dropped from the tow truck bed there was a puddle of transmission fluid on the bed of the truck. My question, and sorry this was such a long way of asking, is there any way the transmission could have been messed up while the repair guy was fixing the ball bearings. I want to be a little educated when I call the repair guys tomorrow and talk to them Any help at all in this would be so greatly appreciated!
