#2426 of 2489 Cruise control problems by dcup May 05, 2009 (7:23 pm)
Ive got a 2002 Nissan ALtima. Ive been having problems with the cruise control when Im driving on the interstate. When you get up to about 70 mph, the cruise kicks off and the car starts jerking a little bit. I thought it might be a clogged injector but I ran "Sea Foam" through it a couple of times and it only helps for a couple of days ( i drive on the interstate daily). When it jerks, the abs, and tcs lights come on and stay on. Any ideas before i go get raped by a mechanic?

Replying to: dcup (May 05, 2009 7:23 pm) Is it absolutely only when cruise control is on? If so, then it's got to be an electronic problem Replies to this message: dcup (May 08, 2009 5:06 am)

Replying to: gsemike (May 07, 2009 1:38 pm) No, it actually does it on the highway at high speeds, regardless of cruise control. Eventually it stops doing it, but not until the lights on the instrument panel all come on and stay on. It never does it unless we reach speeds around 70 mph, never does it while doing in-town driving.

Replying to: dcup (May 05, 2009 7:23 pm) if your worried about getting raped by a mechanic, just go to an advance auto parts store. they'll do a free code scan for you.   to me, sounds like it might be a crank position sensor. In fact, I believe there was a recall issued for them some time back. Replies to this message: dcup (May 13, 2009 6:50 pm)

#2431 of 2489 Cost to fix 97 exhaust that's hanging? by massmom23 May 12, 2009 (6:27 am)
Hubby's 97 Altima dropped it's exhaust yesterday after a few days of soundling more like a Cesna than a car. It's the round piece way up under the car and attached to a pipe. Considering the noise, I'm assuming it's the exhaust? We're on a ridiculously tight budget and cannot afford either a new car or an expensive fix. What can I do? Should I go to a repair shop what questions do I ask? What am I looking at? I'm not even sure I should be driving it with the thing hanging on the ground. Any help would be most appreciated!

Replying to: massmom23 (May 12, 2009 6:27 am) Sounds to me as if it may be a tailpipe hanger. That should be a quick and easy fix. If they can't do it, welding it on my do. That would depend on how close it is to the gast tank.Any decent mechanic could do it. I would not have a dealer do it, since that could be costly. good luck. Don't let them sell you a new exhaust system! They may try to tell you you need a new muffler. I am not familiar with the 97 setup, but on some cars you hae to but the muffler with tail pipe.Even if the noise is coming from the tail pipe, they can do a muffler weld. That is tricky and some shops will refuse to do it, claiming safety problems.

Replying to: massmom23 (May 12, 2009 6:27 am) a '97 and you may need a new exhaust. 12 years is a long time for exhaust pipes and mufflers. but in additon to the dealership, aviod Midas and Minekie. they rip you off so bad even the dealerships will blush.   just go to a respectable garage. even if you need new exaust, it can probably be done for a couple hundred.

Replying to: altimaguy3 (May 09, 2009 3:25 am) No, I have not, I will be finding out this weekend. Do your RPM's jump when it happens? Mine happens at high speeds until all the dash lights come on, then it stops.

Replying to: jd10013 (May 09, 2009 3:06 am) If there is a recall, do I qualify for the recall, even though I bought the car used? Im going to Advanced this weekend to get the code scan and find out if they know anything.
