1998 Nissan Altima - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sound like you may have a catalytic converter plugging up. Take it to a muffler shop and have them check it for you.

sounds like dirty fuel filter or failing fuel pump.

The fan running is normal. you need to find where the coolant is leaking. If there are no visable leaks. then suspect the radiator/reservoir cap.

should be the same fuse and the radio

check battery in the key chain it opens up and the a button battery inside the key chain

I had this same problem with my altima and it had jumped time. you will need to take it to a garage and have the timing belt/chain and gears replaced. with any luck it didn't damage the timing cover cover. I replaced mine myself but if you are not somewhat familiar with working on engines it is best to have someone experienced do it because your can do more damage and cost yourself more money in the long run.

hold the switch in the down postion and bang on the middle of the door at the same time if this works you will need a window motor.

while you are sitting in the car right in front of your left knee this is a small panel that comes off and the fuses are behind it. if you turn that panel you just took off you will find the diagram of fuses and one will say ciag lighter. Check that fuse and let me kbnow what you find.

Any dealeership. Most likely you have to have your key programmed also because there is a chip inside of it.

which ever window will not work hold the window switch in the oppsite of where the window is and bang very hard on the middle of the door opanel with the car running. if that works you need a window motor for that window,

white smoke is caused by water entering or anti-freeze entering cylinder. if in radiator or recovery tank, it will look like a chocalate milkshake. check on oil dipstick for traces of water or anti-freeze. possible causes, head gasket, intake gasket, etc. check close for a bad gasket.

you need to check the ball joint behind the tire so you would have to jack up the car first but make sure you have your parking brakes on and then take off the tire so you can physically check this out. You might have to replace the rod that is coming from the engine to the tire so you can look with your own eyes when you have the tire in the air that you can physically see where the problem is at.

You changed out too much stuff for problems in one cylinder. It could be ignition module faulty for that cylinder.

i would say to pull the spark plugs out and check them as they will tell you how the engine is running.

Spark plugs, Wires, did you make sure the injector is firing? or is there no spark on cylinder #3?

Hello! The main light switch is defective and needs to be replaced...See photo below...

if it only does this in damp weather, its more likely its in the ignition system. if it has a distributor check the cap for moisture and cracks. if it does have a cap. spray wd-40 inside cap to displace the moisture. WD stands for water displacement. when its dry outside and engine running. get a spray bottle and fill it with water, spray the dist. cap and wires. if there is a problem the car will chug and almost stall out. if this happens, thats the problem. have a good day !!

Assuming this is what I think it is one solution for the while is to get someone to push it for a while then as its moving get it to engage, works particularly well with a manual car. Otherwise try to get a pair of jump leads from a shop and borrow your neighbours car to try it that was, there are loads of things that could be wrong so seriously consider taking it to a mechanic, a small problem now could be much cheaper than fixing something bigger that breaks because of whats gone wrong at the moment. Hope it helps Dave

No a fuse would have completely blown out the lights making them unusable. I had a similar issue in my altima where the lights would flicker and I had to replace the alternator. Good luck.

you have to remove the oilpans,not the cylinder head.
