I have a Infiniti I30t with 62000 miles. When the car reaches operating temperture it stalls at light. When the car has been running for a while and is in park the car will die after one minute of idling. It seems to have a normal idle speed of 750rpm. Does any one have an idea of whats up?? Thank you.

I30 leather seats and steering wheel by edmondi30

My leather seats on my 98 I30 are cracked. Also, my steering wheel is worn. Any ideas for seat/steering wheel covers? I would love to have a wood/leather steering wheel as in the 99 Limited. I am having trouble finding seat covers that work with the side airbags.
 
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks!

I have a 2001 I30 and I get 14-15 mpg around town, and I do not have a heavy foot at all. It's my only real complaint with this car. That and I'd like a telescoping steering wheel or a seat that goes back farther. I'm 6'2".
 
I asked the service people to check on the lousy mileage and they said all was functioning well. I was really po'd when gas was $3.40.

I've had the same problem in the summer time. Always shuts off after a while of driving and you stop. all lights show up. i took it to local mechanics, they couldn't find anything wrong. finally took it to dealer, it was the mas air flow sensor. never had the same problem after it was fixed. i fix it with the dealer because they had to mess around with the computer. sounded complicated to send to any local mechanics. ran me about $750.

Hi lyn1,
 
I didn't find the answer. But I have few observations,
It is stopping when I am driving at low speeds especially in traffic or when I was stopping for a stop sign. I feel transmission is cuasing this problem. All the times it got stopped when I observed jerks in acceleration. One more interesting observation is it is happening when there is sudden drop in temperature. Is sudden drop in weather temperature causing sluggish transmission, there by Engine stoppage? I am not sure. If your observation is also the same may be we can get some conclusion.
 
Good day

Infiniti I30 SERVICE ENGINE SOON light by timporch63

Is there any way for the owner to reset the SES light on the Infiniti I30? I tried disconnecting the battery (as on a Chev) and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

I have an '02 Infiniti i30 too and saw the "service engine soon" on my dash board. I just ignored it at first, then it disappeared and reappeared. I went to my mechanic and had him checked it. I observed him using an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) scanner and he found out that the MIL (malfunction indicator light shown as "service engine soon") was caused by a O2 sensor. He replaced it and it cost me around $200.00+. Cars manufactured from 1994 and later are equipped with a connector that can be diagnosed using the OBD (a standard for automotive industry application).
Then my other car, 01 Pathfinder, is also showing a "service engine soon". I bought an OBDII Scanner (model #9135) in Ebay for $80.00 (retail cost is $150). I plugged it and the scanner came up with an "Intake Valve Timing Position Sensor" malfunction. The Int Vlv Tmg Position Sensor cost around $80.00 from the dealer. If I have the mechanic replace this, it would cost me another $200.00+. With the OBDII scanner and a service maintenance manual, I am able to find the sensor and replace it. I learned something new!
If you don't replace the part that causes the MIL, it continues to come up everytime you start the engine even if you disconnect the battery a 100x. So, if you are challeged mechanically, invest in some automotive gadgets to help you troubleshoot or maintain your car since cars are indispensable part of our life unless you'd like to take the bus (specially this time the cost of gas is sky high!).
Good luck.
