#10 of 14 2002 Altima Engin Rattle by acerava Jul 12, 2007 (9:58 pm)
Ok So I bought a 2002 Nissan Altima Certified pre-owned car from the dealership in LA. Iv had it for about 2 years and I have a problem. When I start the car after a long period of time 1/2 hour or so the engine rattles on start up for about a minuet or 2 and then stops and runs somewhat normal. However after a long period of driving I drive from SF to LA every few months and stop the car at a stop light I feel the car engine Very slightly rattling as if it was going to shut off. Another problem is sometimes when I do try to start the car it doesnt turn on and I have to awit a few seconds and then it does.   Iv taken it to the dealership...they dont know...Taken it to my guy ...he didnt see a problem...DOES ANYONE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WHATS GOING ON WITH MY CAR???? it continues right after the 90,000 mile engine tune up and now the -check engine light is back on- I changed the O2 sensor but it wasnt the problem.

Replying to: acerava (Jul 12, 2007 9:58 pm) take it to a mechanic. They will hook it up to the computer, and get the code that is causing the ses light to come on. they'll charge you about $100 for the diagnostic, but something is setting the light off, and the computer will have a code for what it is.

Replying to: mfergy (Dec 13, 2007 7:36 am) Mine does similar. It's not that cold; it's just a little colder than when the RPM is higher. I read other drivers of Altima had the same issues. I guess it's just a bad design of that heater. However, please verify that your coolant is full and no air bubble is trapped inside your engine.
