Engine Shaking and Miss Firing?
Engine Shaking and Miss Firing?
Hoping to get some info from all you knowledged guys out there on this one. As this forum is my last hope.
Anyway I got a auto SE 1992.
Engine seems to be miss firing or something, cause you can feel it periodical shaking on the steering wheel? like every 1/2 second. Also around 1500 to 1900 rpm, if you hold it there you can really feel the engine shake widly, but once over 2000rpm it disappears?
Now is this a timing problem? I am thinking it might be the leads or the distrubitor which isnt doing its job right, therefore causing miss firing for one of the cylinders.
I changed injectors few months ago and also changed the timing belt (altough it was home job).
When I first bought the car, it was running on 5 cylinders and the timing was right off, drove it like that for a while, maybe the whole drive line is stuffed as result.
I just cant get the car to run the way I want it to
. Really thinking of selling it and making a very large loan to get my R32 GTR..hahahha

Re: Engine Shaking and Miss Firing?
Try unplugging each injector to see if a cylinder isn't firing 100%. Now if you find out all cylinders are operating the same, then you pull the codes from the ECU if there are any. If you haven't now go buy a haynes manual at least or get a nissan FSM.

I actually got the origianl two volume nissan manual.
After I bought the car , and like I said it was running on 5 cylinders, although, it was well hidden as somone advance the timing so much you could hardly tell. Anyway it was a nightmare to ge the car running on 6 again, changed one bad injector and then another one failed so then changed all the rest.
I also at that time did a diognostic check following the manual and the codes tells me everything is fine. Although maybe I should do one again.
