Replying to: bdp68 (Oct 26, 2008 1:47 pm) Blinking engine light is not a good thing. You should use the car very little if at all until you get this looked at. Sounds like maybe you have a cylinder misfire which is causing unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, stressing it out and sending an emergency signal to the ECM.   Another possibility is that someone put in a huge amount of oil, and this is also stressing the catalytic, -- but in this case you'd probably have lots of smoke out the tailpipe.

Replying to: jrdcuc (Sep 27, 2005 2:10 am) I completely agree with you!! Nissan needs a reality check! I have a 2002 Nissan Altima. I purchased it in 2004, 3 months into the purchase I had to have the transmission rebuilt, I had to take it back 9 TIMES before it was fixed properly. Recently, my daughter was driving the car and the exact same thing happened to her. She went to accelerate, and nothing. Then when she put it into park and back into drive it would not go. We had the car towed to the Nissan Dealership and they told us we would need a new transmission to the tune of $3800. THEN, 7 days later, the car is still in the shop, they call and say a "cradle" on the transmission had broken while they were trying to repair it, due to rust, so it would be another $178.00 for the cradle...then the said it would be another $$$900 to have the cradle welded into place. The car is worth about $4000 I just put $5000 into it... Not counting the first rebuilt transmission at 2300.00... WAKE THE HELL UP NISSAN. Don't you see the unhappy customers you are running away because you won't step up!

Replying to: biggrobs15 (Nov 06, 2008 4:01 pm) No, it means you have to check the warm-up three way catalyst (California models) or Three way catalyst (Non-California models).   Here's your HOMEWORK   Checking Catalytic Converters

Has anyone out there had a dome light that works intermitintly? My light stays out most of the time and some times it will come on if I tap on it. I've changed the bulbs a few times and the problem persists. Replies to this message: angela0630 (Nov 12, 2008 8:50 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 12, 2008 9:25 am)
