Replying to: amistry (Nov 10, 2005 5:58 am) 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.

Replying to: lyn1 (Dec 30, 2005 5:52 pm) 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   Srini. Replies to this message: annamreddi (Jul 07, 2006 11:02 am)
#90 of 414 Infiniti I30 SERVICE ENGINE SOON light by timporch63 Jan 03, 2006 (1:44 pm)
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? Replies to this message: msanch_56 (Jan 10, 2006 9:36 am)

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.

#93 of 414 Servicing your Engine by msanch_56 Jan 10, 2006 (9:58 am)
I have tried to repair or service my own cars but if it's beyond my ability or due to time-constraint, I would go to an independent mechanic. Dealership service cost twice or more than the independent mechanic. I have a trusted auto mechanic that I established a relationship with. And you should start looking for one too. My personal advise!

Replying to: breich (Jul 04, 2005 4:11 pm) I'm sorry, but what do you mean by a federal warranty? Is that only in certain states? I own a 2000 Infiniti I30 and have problems with that too, but I don't understand the "federal warranty" and was hoping you could clarify, before I starting sinking some serious $$$ into mine. Thanks! Replies to this message: klynn30 (Mar 10, 2006 1:52 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Jun 18, 2001 7:50 am) I have a '97 I30 with 130,000 + miles on it. I love my car, but I have a front suspension problem, I think. Every time I go over any bumps in the road my car sounds like the front tires are about to fall of. It is a knocking sound, yet I have replaced the struts just recently. I took it to a mechanic thinking it was the shocks, but he recommended I replace the struts. This did not help at all. Any ideas?

Replying to: lawman (Dec 30, 2005 8:42 pm) I am also 6'2. This 2000 I30 is my wife's car bought used at 39K. The seat is very uncomfortable for me. As to the steering wheel tilt on the Infiniti, I had a '90 Maxima (my personal car) and drove it to 230k. The steering wheel on the '90 Maxima tilted up comfortably one more notch higher than what is available on the I30 and the seat on the '90 Maxima was much more comfortable; there was a lot less road noise too on the '90 Maxima, although still wind noise. I have had a lot of brake issues on the Infiniti, and now possibly tranny issues too( now at 60k miles); make your next car a BMW, a way better car than the Infiniti in my opinion and you can hear your passenger talking and the high-end stereo to boot; the Infiniti I30 is a major disappointment to this long-time Nissan product buyer. Your mileage issue seems a bit odd and I have not had the same experience.
