06 Titan Issues by offroadjay

Purchased 2 months ago. Unit has Fabtech lift, wheels and tires, grill guard, Rancho 9000 shocks, air bags, SUPPOSEDLY set up to work in Alberta oilfield. Since delivery, front tires destroyed due to improper alignment, or "settling in" ($500 EACH!), front fender liners have pulled out due to mud clinging as the liners are held in by plastic push pins, tranfer case seal failed due to mud intrusion into seal, box post at end gate separating from floor, King cab doors rattle on gravel, no adjustment available, cabin filter is ineffective.
Mileage is 10.5 to 12.8 miles/ US gal.
Dealer continues to be helpful so far, but downtime and week plus wait for service are souring ownership experience.
Previous truck was Duramax, had less problems than this in entire life of vehicle.
BEWARE BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!

2005 Frontier Ignition by lhuang

Hi
Not sure you have the ignition problem on your 2005 Frontier. I have Frontier for almost one year and put 12,500 miles on this truck. Last week, I filled 89 gas (well, I usually fill 87 gas), after that, the strange thing happened, the frontier truck need the second ignition to start, which the first ignition is failed. By the way, I live in Dallas, Tx; we had very high temperature wheather here. Could hot whether affect ignition?
 
Thanks

Hi,
 
I just got a 1986 4cyl 4x4 Nissan Truck with the same problem as you mentioned. It "stutter" when it starts from standing still mostly in first gear, and sometimes after shifting to 2nd gear and applying gas. And the truck could jerk significantly. At times when coasting on the 5th gear, the engine could occasionaly loss of power for a quarter second resulting in some unsmoothness or jerking a bit. Otherwise, it's a solid truck with 130,000 miles on it.
 
I would replace the throttle position sensor as you mentioned. What's more to do??? Thank you the post.

Spark noise under pickup by colours
Aug 06, 2006 (8:21 pm)

Hi. I have been hearing a spark-like noise coming from under my 92 Nissan truck. It's automatic, 4 cylindar, has a converter. I've had the brakes, muffler, left tie rod end, and the bushings on both sway bars in the front replaced, and a wheel alignment done 2 weeks ago. this sound is new since the alignment. It only happens when I step on the gas pedal. As soon as I release my foot from the pedal, the sounds disappears. The sound does not happen every time I step on the gas but 90% of the time. This spark like sound is becoming louder as time goes on, and it does not appear to be a body caused sound.
 
Can you help?
 
Thanks

2003 SE crew cab. Replaced the stock tires with Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts. Excellent tire, great traction in any weather. They look great (like an off-road tire), but ride and noise is not bad. i would definitely buy them again.

Decreased mpg in 1993 Nissan Pickup by tony1958

I have 1993 Nissan Kingcab SE V6 4x4 pickup with 220,000 miles on it, and still like it, of course. Been taken care of reasonably well--regular tune-ups, oil changes, and all PM. About 50,000 miles ago the mileage went from 21 mpg to 17.5 mpg and has stayed there. Occasionally it would bounce back up, but not for long. With gas prices continually climbing, I'd like to get it back to over 20 mpg. I've taken the car to the dealer who confirms by some test that it's running rich. He suggested changing the oxygen sensor, but I did that 30,000 miles earlier and it didn't help. I also recently had the thermostat replaced thinking it might be the cause. It didn't help either. I'm not sure what to try now to get the mpg back up. Anyone have any ideas?

In case this helps...
I had a similar problem on my 1988 Mazda 323. In my case, the problem was with the fuel pressure regulator in the fuel injection system.
 
The pressure regulator had failed and the excess fuel pressure from the pump was not been diverted back to the tank. When I measured the fuel pressure, I read 70psi while about 35-40psi was the normal. So this increased fuel pressure caused excessive fuel to be injected every time the computer pulsed the fuel injectors. The computer was probably seeing the mixture being too rich and was thus shortening the pulse to the injectors but apparently with a 70psi fuel pressure even a short pulse was already delivering too much fuel. The computer would sometimes give me an error code for bad oxugen sensor. Do you get any error codes (engine check light)?
 
In my case when I replaced the fuel pressure regulator everything was fine and my mileage went back up to 37mpg (it had fallen to 22mpg).
 
So I suggest you measure your fuel pressure to see if it is within spec. If I can remember well I bought a fuel pressure meter for just under $40 a couple of years ago.
