Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2006looking to buy 93 Altima - Opinions? Pointers? UPDATE
Previous thread from 2 weeks ago.... The 93 Altima had super low compression all across the 4 cylinders. 85 lbs. Ran Lucas Oil Upper Cylinder lubricant and drove aggressively for a week, compression tested it today, and its up to 160! Planning to buy the car.... t > Previous thread from 2 weeks ago.... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > t Buy it!  SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY Enjoy the ride > Previous thread from 2 weeks ago.... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > t Is that stuff injector / valve cleaner? I've been tempted to try some injector cleaner in my 99 Altima to maybe fix my hesitation off idle problem, but I've heard in the past that Nissan injectors are sensitive to a lot of the different cleaning agents out there. I've had the dealer do whatever they call an injector cleaning, so you would think that would be just as, if not more effective than something added to the gas...? > Previous thread from 2 weeks ago.... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > t The place I bought it from is called partsource in canada, can't remember what they are called in the states, big red store with yellow sign.... usually in the home depot parkin lot. They said that since this stuff doesn't have chlorine or other caustics in it, it doesn't cause adverse reactions in the fuel system. It honestly looks like you are pouring a thin oil into the tank. I bought a bigger bottle of it (32 oz for $13), but originally tried the 2oz bottle ($6). Dumped some in my Honda's tank, we'll see what it does there.... . t >Is that stuff injector / valve cleaner?

It also seems to have done a great job of cleaning the intake valves, which as I indicated in my thread 2 weeks ago, were leaking like crazy causing a very low compression reading. >The place I bought it from is called partsource in canada, can't remember >what they are called in the states, big red store with yellow sign.... [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>> >>> t That's what got my attention, because I tried a compression test on mine yesterday just out of curiousity and I had around 90 in each cylinder! I'm not sure how trustworth my gauge is though, I used it on my 1994 and got the same sort of results (rediculously low) and I seem to remember the same problem on another attempt with one of my previous cars. > PS, yes it is injector cleaner, and combustion chamber cleaner.

A good on vehicle system to clean injectors is the "Motorvac" system, Another system called an ASNU (sounds like "as new") is a great system, but I've had excellent results from Motorvac. Google for Motorvac for more info. |
