Remove the rotor (one screw), and remove a plastic cover (2 screws) that protect the distributor timing disk. Spray a brake cleaning fluid toward this timing disk and let it dry. Put everything back. In my Sentra, the seal that isolate the distributor from the camshaft area was failing, thus over time engine oil started to migrate into the distributor and started to cover the fine slits of the distro timing disk. This causied the engine to misfire and shake. If the above method solved your problem, then order a replacement from eBay for less than $100 (new) before the old one started to act up again. The dealer wants close to $500. This problem is quite common on GA16DE engines. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.nissan/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
