Replying to: asa (May 18, 2006 1:15 pm) I hardly think you want to use mineral oil in your vehicle. This will void your warranty quicker than using synthetics. I've had car and truck engines go 100k + on regular motor oil.The important thing is to change it regular 3-5k miles and you'll be fine. |

Replying to: kcram (Jul 15, 2006 4:30 pm) As you said though it could very well be a mix up. I was taken back by even the use of mineral oil in any auto application.

Replying to: rocketman67 (Jul 16, 2006 6:50 am) As far as synthetics, they're fine. However, I always get 200,000 Miles+ on our vehicles using only dino oil and oil burn has never been a problem, so I'll stick with the old stuff and save a buck. Dino works for me. |

I cannot get the check engine light to turn off! I installed the k&n properly. I had a mechanic install the throttle body spacer. I took it to a nissan dealer and had the computer reset, drove around the corner and the light came on again. Drove back to the dealer, and was told that the spacer must be causing the problem. Could have choked the service writer on the spot. Can anyone help? 2004 desert runner, 3.3 auto, 46k

2001 Nissan pick up running fine, no problem starting then suddenly in the middle of a short errand the needles on all of the gauges started jumping around. The needles shoot up then all the way down and back and forth. I think they are possessed! The gas gauge, speedometer, tachometer and temp gauge and the mileage counter is blinking. I have checked the fuses and cleaned the battery cable. I have also tried switching out the battery with a newer one. No change. It doesn't seem to make a difference if the truck is moving or not. The speed doesn't effect it. Radio, heater, lights etc still work perfect. - Just the gauges. Thanks for suggestions. SWF on a limited income!">

Replying to: asa (Nov 14, 2007 3:23 pm) is related to the engine idle speed, being either too high or too low. I have ordered a much more expensive diagnostic reader. In the manual for the truck it points to the idle adjustment screw on the drivers side of the engine below the egr valve. There is a black plastic screw next to another cavity that is covered with melted plastic covering on it. On my previous frontier (4 cyl) the adjustment screw was under the plastic covering. Could I be looking at the wrong screw?

Replying to: badfireguy (Nov 14, 2007 5:31 pm) Aside from the set screw, idle speed is adjusted automatically on many vehicles by an _ Idle Speed Controller (ISC) when headlights or the A/C is turned on and engine load changes. ISCs often get dirtied up over the years and they fail to perform causing erratic idle. In the case of my Mitsu, it throws an ISC code. Not wanting to pay near $300 for a new one (when cleaning it failed), I just unplugged it when the idle speed was stable and I've been fine. Perhaps you could try the same and at least isolate the problem?
