All posts/ videos -1997 Nissan Altima + Get email

Hi there,

I’m a newbie to this list and an amateur working on my Nissan Altima.

I enjoyed Eric’s YouTube videos concerning testing for vacuum leaks and replacing intake manifold gaskets.

I’m also looking for any videos/posts re: testing for resistors on a ’97 Altima.

Could you pls. point me in the direction where I could find on this forum all posts and videos for resistor testing and intake manifold leaks and gasket and O-Ring replacements for a ’97 Nissan Altima?

Also, how do I set my profile so I can receive emailed alerts when someone has replied to my post(s) or those posting replies to replies of my posts (thread)?

Thanks so much.

Hi dtidman – Thank you for kindly sharing your additional notes. My great mechanic from years ago (2,500 miles away now) shared that one time he had to spray carburetor fluid into/around the #3 and $4 fuel injectors to clear this sort of problem and Altimas generally have these kinds of issues with their fuel injectors. It’s very challenging where I live to find a good indie car mechanic. Most drivers just go to the dealer (costly and not always the best service). I’m trying to work with the tranny guy because the car mechanic I used to go to told me to just buy a new car instead of trying to fix this. The trannyt guy at least tested the transmission and shared it works well. He cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor and ti makes the car run a little better but that same Check Engine light P-error code comes on and the engine runs rough, especially when it’s cold. I’m trying to limit how much troubleshooting the tranny guy would have to do at this point since he advised that replacing the intake manifold gasket could disturb (possibly break other parts) in the process of replacing the gasket. I’m kind of between a rock and a hard place. I’ll see if the tranny guy is willing to help me test for the sounds of the fuel injectors and if he would be comfortably replacing any which sound troublesome. Again, I very much appreciate all your kind help.
