Bump My Car Has 73k On It

 

damn, i dunno what to tell u.

 

dam i need help wheres the idle screw

 

if i cant find help here i cant find it nowhere else

 

does the car die out after you just start up the car and the revs jump then it dies out? does it stay on if you give it some gas immediately when you start it up?

I only ask cause I had this problem a little while back and it turned out to be my engine coolant temp sensor which was cheap and easy to replace!!! mine wasn't pulling a code, but it did fit the nissan FSM as a possible cause to hard starting or staying alive....so I took my multimeter to it and sure enough, the sensor was out of spec...

 

your idle speed adjuster is located right by the throttle , its a small screw with an 8mm bolt. losen the bolt and turn to the right for higher rpm. check all conections like the mass air sensor and little things like that.

 

yes thats what happens so this could be the problem?

 

two guesses: Engine coolant temp. sensor. Or have you messed around with your ECU lately? On my 95 the screw on the ECU does not stop turning. If I do not set it correctly when clearring any CEL's, the car will not idle correctly and will shut down....

 

I Have A Similar Problem, I Already Change My Coolant Temp Sensor Twice, And My Car Still Shuts Off And Can't Accelerate.

 

Yo I Did Mess With The Ecu To Clear The Codes, Is It ****ed Up What Do I Have To Do?

 

just try turning the screw a little bit. Then start the car. If that doesn't work, turn the screw a bit the other way and start the car. You can easily rule this possibility out.

 

Thanx Guys It Works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

check your MAF, i had lots of stalls because of my fcuked up harness, wires are kinda loose on it.
