#350 of 359 Fans and motor die - bummer! by trichardson Jun 30, 2008 (12:15 pm)
Well shoot. For the last two weeks my car has progressively been sounding worse and worse. At first I didn't hear the noise as I always have the radio on but the last week it got so loud that now I hear it constantly. Just found out from the service station that a motor is dying that drives the radiator fan so the fan runs at uneven speeds, which makes sense because it definitely sounds like a fan shutting down and chopping up. Only 60k miles and I've had all services done religiously. Of course I'm out of warranty on this 2002 I35. Freaking parts are costing $540 alone and have to be ordered. This is the second Nissan-based vehicle I have owned that had a major issue in year 6 of ownership. If my Honda makes it past year 6/60k miles with no issues I may switch my next car purchase over to them.
#351 of 359 135 by eredia Jul 05, 2008 (2:17 pm)
I have an Infiniti 135 - 2004. About 2 weeks ago while I was driving it acted like it was loosing power and It was hesitating to take off then all of a sudden it would shoot off. It started flashing all kinds of signs like ABS and TC/OFF. When I finally coasted into my driveway and parked it...it did not start. The next morning I got my car jumped and took it and had both the battery and alternator checked, it was neither and after that it started working fine. Two weeks later, just today, after having my car washed, I tried to start it and its not starting again. I'm thinking maybe something to do with the computer chip or voltage problem but I have no idea. I will have to take it in on Monday, but thought maybe someone else has had the same problem or might know what kind of $$ I'm looking to have to spend. Thanks.

#353 of 359 radiator cooling fan out by davmarine Jul 21, 2008 (1:25 pm)
I have a Inf I 35 2003 that has been great but now the driver side cooling fan is not working and the other fan is very loud like its trying to make up for the lost cooling.The car has not gotten hot nor has the A/C quit but if you turn off the A/C before the car heats up it runs quite and normal cycles.The fan assy comes with both fans ready to hook up and install.Is there a relay or resistor that could stop the driver side fan from running?I am affraid of changing this out and the right side fan still not working.Would sun equipment be able to diagnose this problem?Or is it pretty much put the fan set up in and cross your fingers?Advance am wants 244.00 for both fans set up and the dealer wants 400.00 and it will take a week to get it.They are 127.00 online if you trust them to be new and the right ones.Also which fan is doing what on this model drivers side is to cool what?? its out! the other is running very fast and I'm beginning to get some noise from the compressor like bearings getting old.148,000 miles and runs like a rocket.oil changed every 3k since birth, filters etc.any ideas how hard this job is to take out the old fan assy and put a new one in?Thanks,oh are there fuses that control the fans?

#355 of 359 Spark Plugs by jbergmann Jul 24, 2008 (5:14 pm)
I have the 02 i35 and it needs to have the plugs replaced. Has anyone done this on the 3.5 ltr engine? Did you need a special tool or how did you do it? I have worked on a lot of cars over time but cannot figure any way to get to half the plugs.

Replying to: eredia (Jul 05, 2008 2:17 pm) My 03 i35 just started doing the same thing (loosing all power and flashing the ABS/ & TC/OFF. Could you tell me what you found the problem to be?
#357 of 359 no power & ABS & TCS/off light comes on by tym2go Aug 03, 2008 (9:32 am)
My 03 i35 just passed 100k mi and has been a great car, just today the ABS and TCS/off lights came on and car looses all power, speedo drops to 0, and it just idles. It sometimes flashes in and out almost like a shorted wire, i'll have full power and then nothing. Anyone with an answer or idea?

Replying to: tym2go (Aug 03, 2008 9:32 am) You gotta plug the car into the computer to figure this one out. Your engine must think your tires are spinning wildly on black ice or something, so there's a faulty signal to the ECM from somewhere. The trouble code or codes will pinpoint the circuit at fault and then it's a case of step by step elimination to track down the errant component itself. Anyway, that's my lame guess at this point===bad data to your engine management system.

Replying to: tym2go (Aug 03, 2008 9:32 am) I had something like that happen to mine and it was in warranty.The traction control light came on it died and the transmission light and maybe the abs.It was quick and I shut it down and called and had it towed in.Turns out it was the throttle body that was messed up and threw everything off.They said it would have been 800.00 bucks but it was covered.Were you backing up?Several people have had this happen as they put their car in gear to go forward.I'm dealing with a fan issue,my passenger side fan is racing when the ac is on and the driver side never runs.A mech told me the drivers side is a backup and since we are running over 100 to 105 everyday the ac is going to race.I found a box today on the right side behind the headlite that has circuit breakers or fuses maybe?the box says radiator fan 1 2 and 3 and has tan plugs in it almost like printer ink cartridges.I wonder if these can be tested but you will need to plug your car up to a computer and the car will tell them whats causing it,thats what they did to mine to find it.Good Luck Mine is also 2003 I35.Great car
