1999 Nissan Altima - An Undiagnosable Problem?!
Here's a vid of my car a few days ago. I've been having a strange problem that, after three trips to my mechanic and one to the Nissan dealership, has yet to be correctly diagnosed. It just won't go away. Here the symptoms, they all happen OCCASIONALLY - not consistently: *Stalls when put into gear *Rumbles and shakes when stopped at red-light *Barely accelerates when gas pedal is first pressed, goes really slow for a few seconds and then jerks into normal speed *Idles high when first turned on *Idles low in reverse (or stalls as stated above) *Occasional smell of gasoline inside the car This same thing happened last winter, and was fixed after a few tries until THIS winter...now it's started to do it again. It seemed to stump my mechanic last year, they changed an o2 sensor, and I feel like maybe he just got lucky and the problem went away until this year. It does it most in cold weather, and usually stops after car warms up or is driven a mile or so. I thought I had an intake manifold gasket issue, because they seem prevalent on this generation of Nissans, but the dealership said the intake manifold gaskets are perfectly fine! Ha! Anyways, I currently have a po325 code (Knock Sensor code) on it, which both mechanics seem to have ignored. I'm really at my wits end here. Any help would be appreciated. ***Id like to add that this car is extremely well taken care of (except for that dirt you see on the dash). Ive kept up with all maintenance and have gotten pretty much all recommended work done. Im peeved!***
