#64 of 72 Distributor Problem by dcracraft Mar 28, 2009 (5:15 pm)
My wifes van stalled and will not start. I replaced the coil, had the igniton control module test and even replaced the coil to dist. cap wire. Van still wouldn't start. So off came the dist. cap. Rotor and cap are maybe a month old. When we turn the motor over the rotor does not turn. If I grab the rotor, I can't turn it. Feels normal like.   My question is, does the timing belt have anything to do with the distributor turning, or does the dist. get ran by the camshaft or something else?   It seems to me that if the distributor wouldn't turn by turning over the motor, I would be able to turn the rotor really easy.   Any ideas? I know I'm gonna have to replace the distributor... Replies to this message: jedft (Apr 20, 2009 8:41 am)

#67 of 72 Pet Hair Clogging Ignition Key Mechanism by thecarphotoguy Apr 28, 2009 (6:49 am)
I've posted a "Thank You" to the McGavock Nissan Website who fixed my wife's 95 Nissan Quest. They cleaned out a bunch of PET HAIR that had gotten into the steering column and CLOGGED THE KEY MECHANISM! She'd come out after a long, hard day at work but was unable to get the ignition key to turn and had to walk home in the Texas Heat (I'm in another area of Texas). The Nissan Dealer had the van towed in, fixing the "hairy problem"! The tow company evidently snapped the transmission selector cable so the dealership didn't charge my wife for any of the work or the towing! I was very happy for the honesty and care they took with my wife. Some shops might fib to a women, who is alone, about the cause of a vehicle's problems, but McGavock wasn't playing that game so their Service Department gets my whole harted recommendation, especially for taking care of a unaccompanied woman!! As far as keeping hair out of an ignition key mechanism, I'd guess I'd suggest not having pets on your lap while driving or sitting in the driver's seat and keeping the floors, seats and dash area vacumed (but its just my guess)!
#68 of 72 Washer fluid warning light by denzil Oct 28, 2009 (10:49 am)
The windshield washer low fluid warning light is on in my 2002 Villager Estate with electronic dash even though I've made sure the resevoir is filled to the top. I've pulled fuses to reset it and have done the 3+ start cycles to reset it with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and found a soultion? Replies to this message: jedft (Oct 28, 2009 11:22 am)

Replying to: denzil (Oct 28, 2009 10:49 am) A piece of black electrical tape over the light will fix you right up . But seriously, there's probably a sensor in the bottom of the tank that has gone bad or is gunked up.
#70 of 72 TPS problem by abaka Nov 29, 2009 (7:13 am)
I have 1997 Mercury Villager and I like this van. I have some experience (mechanical) of this van and I would like to share this with others. After a traffic jam ( about an one hour or so) the van hesistated to accelerate to a high speed and the next day SE (service engine) light was on and the "code reading(ODBCII)" showed to change the Oxygen sensor I did it, and changing O2 sensor did nothing for SE and this time reading is knock sensor. I did nothing van was running good for a month or so WITH SE LIGHT ON untill the starting problem showed up.   One day morning van starting in a sluggish mode the engine accelaration was not stable (up and down). Accelaration controlled by fuel supply and the throttle etc .I changed the fuel filter and the fuel presure ok now I left with TPS. I check the TPS (throttle position snesor) when the throttle fully open 0.9 K ohm (should be .4 to .5 K) then fully closed 3.2k ohm( Ishould be 4k)I adust the fully closed to .5k and able to achive 3.2K closed . Next morning It was very difficult to start the van finally did start by warming up the engine with the electric outlet(block heater). Next day I readjust the TPS high (closed Throttle) almost 4K and the may be 1K for the fully open . Now the van starts smooth and runs good . I have to change the TPS soon untill then I am running the van. It is better to check the TPS in the Mercury villager van although the reading gives other indications like knock sensor etc. by the way replacing the knock sensor is very expensive so before doing so check the TPS for any fault.

Replying to: abaka (Nov 29, 2009 7:13 am) I'm not sure what all years it was a problem, but you may want to check your distributor. The shaft bearing can slowly go bad in them which causes all kinds of weird ODBII codes (especailly knock sensor) and intermittant problems with acceleration.   BTW I'm pretty sure the knock sensor was put where it is just to keep mechanics in business
