Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / January 2006Idle Vibration in 2001 Nissan Altima
Hi, just bought this car. Has 53,000 miles on it. Noticed that there was what seemed to me to be a rough idle, took it in to the local Nissan dealer, they replaced the intake manifold gasket (under warranty) and didn't do anything else. Prior to having it replaced, the car stumbled a few times at idle, like it was going to die, but didn't. Since the repair, no stumbling, but there is still some vibration at idle that is relatively slight, but annoying. Prior to this car, I had a Volvo 240DL that also had a 4 cylinder engine, and never felt this kind of vibration. Is this just how Japanese 4 bangers feel? Am I being neurotic? Is there anything else that could be the problem? thanks!! > Hi, just bought this car. Has 53,000 miles on it.

I had a 1994 Altima that had a constant vibration at idle, you could feel it in the wheel and in the (manual) gearshift... it annoyed me when I first got the car, but I got used to it. I've got a 1999 now, and there's very little vibration, but you can still feel it when you touch the shifter. From your description, I would say your vibration is normal. Hope that helps. > Hi, just bought this car. Has 53,000 miles on it. Noticed that there > was what seemed to me to be a rough idle, took it in to the local [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > feel?

A different age and model of car, but I had a nissan micra that done this; the exhaust was just vibrating off something underneath; a local place who had fitted the new exhaust a while back checked it, and just pushed it away and moved a mounting a wee bit. In saying that, it would seem that it still vibrates (no clanking etc now though however...), and I've heard this is normal with the lower spec nissan carms. |
