B.S.

Take it to another dealer. Try calling first, and go in with the TSB in your paws!

yep they told me the same thing-the light would've come on if it had to do w/fuel TSB. Just give them the "symptoms" of whats wrong with the car- like its jerking at low RPM's.

LMAO...What the hell dearlers are you folks going to ? The TSB pertains to ALL 5 spd 2000 models and it WILL NOT turn the SES light on. It won't turn the light on because it's a programming problem, not an engine problem. The engine is doing exactly what the ECU is telling it to.
The new ECU download completely rids the 5 spd of this annoying low speed jerking, and should be done. If your dealer won't do it...Find another one, and report the moronic dealer to Nissan or the better Business B. Good Luck

For all those guys who successfully had the Fuel Cut TSB done, leave us the TN#'s for your Nissan dealers and maybe a name of the mechanic in the dealer that we can ask for....so in case our dealers give us a hard time again, we can refer them to call the other Nissan dealer that knows how to do the TSB correctly! Thats the only other thing I can think of to do since a bunch of us have had similar problems and a few have had it done right! refere us to those dealers!!! Holla...
