#1 of 19 1999 Nissan Frontier Engine steam by riot1 Jan 04, 2007 (5:21 am)
Good Morning. Recently purchased a 1999 Nissan Frontier 4 x 4 for work/off-roading. Since I have gotten it, I have noticed that after turning the engine off that the engine will let off steam. (Almost like the radiator is over-heating)   I have checked all fluids,hoses or belts that I can see, but nothing seems out of place. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.   Riot1 Replies to this message: ryancey (Jan 04, 2007 6:12 pm) riot1 (Jan 05, 2007 8:23 am)

Replying to: riot1 (Jan 04, 2007 5:21 am) Does your engine have a block heater?? My truck has developed a small leack where the block heater attaches to the engine. A very small amout of fluid/steam gets out. Not enough to cause issues. Check it out. Replies to this message: riot1 (Jan 05, 2007 8:23 am)

Replying to: ryancey (Jan 04, 2007 6:12 pm) Ryancey,   Thanks for the great insight! I will check that out!   Looks like there might be a very, very small power steering leak. Is that a major repair? Appreciate any advice!   Riot1
#5 of 19 Mileage question by pwills Mar 26, 2007 (9:52 am)
I own a 1994 Nissan pickup SE and it currently has 229,000 miles on it. How many miles can I expect to get on this vehicle? It still runs great and I get really good gas mileage. I'd like to keep it as long as I can. Replies to this message: asa (Apr 06, 2007 11:24 pm)

Replying to: pwills (Mar 26, 2007 9:52 am) Lots of variables with a high mileage vehicle, but a friend has a '92 Pathfinder that just passed 333,333 Miles. It has the original engine, which runs great, but the entire manual tranny was replaced a year ago. Other than that, it's been bulletproof. Unlike the new Frontiers which have timing chains, the older ones used timing belts, so be sure to maintain that. Good luck -- old vehicles are just wonderful when you have a good one like yours.
#7 of 19 86.5 PU Starting Difficulty on Rainy, Wet Mornings by plantpotter Apr 27, 2007 (11:09 am)
I have ignition challenges with my 86.5 Nissan King Cab PU with about 175,000 miles. On rainy, wet mornings, the engine seems to misfire with only about half the plugs seeming to fire. The exhaust smells of raw gas and if I turn the engine off, I have to go through the process of starting a flooded engine. After the initial startup, it starts and runs fine the rest of the day. So far I’ve checked the plugs and coils, replaced the ignition wires, distributor and cap (including the O ring). I’ve even had it to the Nissan dealership and after $100 worth of diagnostics – am still having the problem. (The problem didn't occur while they had it in their possession.) Solution: I moved my daughter’s car out and park my truck in the garage at night. Any experience and/or suggestions?
#8 of 19 timing belt change by pwills Jul 10, 2007 (1:02 pm)
I am still driving my 1994 Nissan and I was wondering how many miles I can get on a timing belt. Alot of little things are starting to go on my truck. The gas gauge, the light switch, etc. I don't know if I should put any more money into it. Any suggestions? It still runs fairly well.
#9 of 19 Engine Part by iwannaskyline Jul 10, 2007 (8:18 pm)
Does anyone know who makes headers for a 2004 Frontier 2.4L with an automatic transmission? I've looked everywhere but the closest I've come is for headers for 2004 2.4L manual transmission. If anyone could help, please do so. Thanks a bunch.
#10 of 19 Different Spark Plugs by elderchuck May 25, 2008 (2:54 pm)
My 2005 Nissan Frontier with the L4 engine and manual transmission will not accept cross referenced plugs from NGK or Denso (IKH16 ND). The head has a smaller plug opening. Anyone know why?
