#303 of 320 Re: 99 villager repaired distributor, now hot exhaust (lean condition,or ca [tracymurphree] by rockmobile Jul 27, 2009 (5:45 pm)
Replying to: tracymurphree (Jul 27, 2009 11:28 am) I do not have a distributor, I think prez has or used to have one. I have seen several of them advertised on ebay for a reasonable price but I have no experience buying anything on ebay.
#304 of 320 Intermittently won't start or hesitation by back_dr Jul 29, 2009 (12:22 pm)
'94 Villager recently started intermittent problem with starting and brief hesitation when accelerating after light turns green. 90% of time it starts and runs great, the other 10% it starts hesitating and then the next time you turn it off you can't necessarily start it back up. We had it checked on computer and they said fuel pump needed replacing. We spent $400 on that, to find out we still had the problem. I have read through this entire forum subject. Does anyone out there think this could be the distributor or speed sensor. I think it is a spark problem somewhere.   Side note -- radiator blew all over the place about two months ago -- possibly affected a sensor or something??
#305 of 320 98 Villager - randomly dies worse during summer by archtrek Aug 16, 2009 (2:50 pm)
I'm trying to help my parents diagnose and repair a problem with their 98 Villager w/3.0 v6. I've read through all 17 pages in this section and seen similar post but not identical. The van starts and runs fine, but intermittently just dies. It will run fine for weeks with no problem then just shut off while going down the road. Sometimes it will happen only once and at other times it will occur multiple in a day. It seems to be worse in summer. After the van has cooled down in as little as 10-15 minutes, it will restart. At times there will be a slight shudder and others it isn't noticeable, it just quits. It is pre 99, so the coil is outside the distributor, and he has had the ICM (ignition control module) replaced. Any help is greatly appreciated.

#307 of 320 Villager losing power and misfiring by cheri6 Sep 26, 2009 (6:31 am)
Hello, it has been a while since I have posted on this but I wanted to get back here and let everyone know what the problem was for me and my 93 villager that was losing power & misfiring. We have changed EVERYTHING under the sun trying to fix this and finally I talked to an retired diagnostic/design rep. for these vans and he told me to clean the mass air flow senser. Took about 10 minutes, costed about three buck for the can of MAF sensor cleaner and Volia, fixed!!!   This sensor reads the temp and airflow for the computer and if there is a speck of dirt on it, it reads the info incorrectly relaying wrong info to the computer. The computer uses this info to regulate the gas flow and it gets all messed up.   He said that any time you change your air fliter you should always clean your MAF sensor also. It is located just beyond the airfliter housing, right on top of the engine and is simple to clean.   I cant believe I have driven this van this way for so long and all the money that was spent trying to fix the problem and all it was was this!!!

#310 of 320 Suddenly started running rough by gene55 Nov 10, 2009 (1:32 pm)
Hello: My 2000 Villager has 37000 miles and to this point has run flawlessly. I had taken on a trip on the expressway and it ran fine. Then a couple days later I used it again and about a half mile from home it started running rough. After a four mile trip I returned home and it was really running rough, on the verge of stalling at traffic lights, and the check engine light would flash on and off mostly when accelerating.   I have read many of the posts and multiple things could cause the engine to run rough but what would cause it to go from perfect to horrible so quickly? Thanks for reading. Gene55 Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 10, 2009 6:31 pm) efitzgerald (Nov 12, 2009 5:26 am) gene55 (Nov 12, 2009 12:16 pm)

Replying to: gene55 (Nov 10, 2009 1:32 pm) When my '99 Quest started doing something like that a year or so ago, it threw off a knock sensor code. I replaced the knock sensor (big bucks!), but before doing something like that, find out what made the code go off. You can get the code read for free at most auto parts stores. Fixing the problem may mean that the sensor itself is ok. I had some clogged injectors too, apparently.   I say apparently because I don't really trust what the mechanic did and it took them all day to diagnose the problem. But it's been running ok since.   So, please get the codes read and come back with that report, and someone mechanically minded should be able to suggest some ways to proceed. Like you say, it could be multiple things.   Steve, visiting host
#312 of 320 Nissan Quest 1997 running "lean" by rardon Nov 10, 2009 (7:33 pm)
I just change the oxygen sensor and the knock sensor and drove it 2000 miles. All of a sudden, it started to run rough and then now today, the check engine light came on. I took it to the shop where they had fixed it the last time and they stated that the computer signal came back as "running lean". I know that the PVC valve could be in the way as well as the MAF sensor in the air filter. Any other idea? I don't want to spend another $500 for a simple fix.
