1995 Nissan Sentra Questions & Answers
When car is turned off. Radio stays on
Sounds like a faulty ignition switch to me. These models have the ignition switch linked directly to the key tumbler. If you have the habit of having a heavy key set dangling from you ignition key, then it's likely. You may also need to replace the key tumbler. (That means you have to carry an extra key on you keychain, once to start it and the other to open the doors and trunk unless you pay an arm and leg to have the whole car rekeyed to the same lock.) Open it up and take a look... if you see any brown discoloration on any wiring or the key has a lot of wiggle room; technical term, then it's likely.
95 sentra wiper motor runs wipers won't move, how do I remove the arm?
First lift wiper blade up off the windshield like you would when changing the blades.It should stay up by itself, then look under the end that mounts over the shaft, it's a shaft end that the wiper arm goes on, it's splined so it wont slip when in motion. But you should be able to pry up on it and it should pop right off. Just look at it first to make sure theres not a bolt or nut holding it down, some of the wipers are mounted that way and the nut or bolt is covered right at the end, usually it will come up with a lil nudge, Just look it over good and you will see how the cover is held down. If theres no cover hiding a nut , then you would just pry up on it to remove. good luck!
Car dies once it warms up
You hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the test port on the engine's fuel rail, and see if the pressure is correct with what is specified for the car. If the pressure is correct, the pump and filter are good, doing what they are supposed to do. Some stores loan or rent fuel pressure gauges. Multiport fuel injection systems usually have high pressure requirements-about 40-50 psi. Check the specs for your car. Usually, the specs call for a pressure with just key on, no start, and a second pressure (maybe 3-10 psi lower) with the engine running.
When it dies, can you immediately restart it, or do you have to wait a bit? Probably fuel or spark related, Any trouble codes present?
Car starts and runs until it warms up
Try replacing your coolant temperature sensor(not switch). It tells the computer what temp. your engine is and has an effect on fuel injector duty cycle. The other possibility is, that when your car warms to a specific temp. it goes into "closed loop" operation(which is normal) where the PCM controls output sensors, like fuel pressure,timing,etc. and a sensor is bad. The problem with 1995 is it is not obdll and unless you have a hard failure the CEL will not neccesarily come on. You can still have your car scanned for stored codes but not with obdll code readers/scanners. It's a long shot, but check your air intake tube(big black hose from air filter housing to engine)for any cracks which would create a big vacuum leak when trying to accelerate. Replace if so, or get some duct tape and seal as a temporary fix. Good luck.
