Hi,
I have put my car in the shop for a simple TuneUp as part of my maintenance. When I got it back after traveling for a few miles. White smoke is already coming out of the exhaust.
Can somebody help me? what should be check first...?
White smoke is caused by coolant or water coming out the tail pipe. There is a chance that the white smoke was caused by water splashing up from a puddle onto the exhaust pipe. Keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator in any event.
Let us know how it goes or if the problem persists. We're looking forward to how things go for you.

My wife's Sentra started running really rough Monday afternoon. I was driving it home and the Service Engine Soon light started flashing. I kept an eye on everything and didn't notice any problems right away, but once I pulled into my driveway, the car started shaking mildly and the idle seemed high and rough. I cranked it up today and it is still idling rough and at about 1500rpm, but once you give it some gas up to about 2000rpm, it smooths out. The car has about 85000 miles on it and as far as I know, has not had the spark plugs or wires changed out. I was thinking this might help, as well as going ahead and chaning out the fuel and air filter. Any other suggestions or anyone with previous problems like this? Thanks.
a rough idle/high idle is indicative of a malfunctioning TPS(throttle position sensor) this is located on the throttle body ,is attached with (2) screws/bolts to the throttle body housing right off the butterfly shaft. it has either 2 wire or 4 wire plug. the replacement part can be purchased at locale auto parts store. I would also agree that a full service and tuneup be done. this will help with performance and will increase the fuel efficiency. please rate this...thanks

The brake lights and upper stop light stay on all the time except when I pull the fuse.
When you depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal will move away from the brake light switch and cause a close circuit and the brake lamps light up. There is a rubber bunk on the pedal which pushes against the brake light switch to shut it off when you release the brake pedal. Most likely this rubber bunk has either fallen off or disintegrated leaving a hole in the brake pedal so there is nothing to push against the switch to shut it off. Look up the brake pedal until you see the brake light switch, then depress the brake pedal to see if the rubber bunk is still there. It is easy to replace. Or you can use some double sided adhesive tape and a coin and stick the coin over the hole in the brake pedal.

Okay, so I have a Nissan Sentra 2000 GXE. Today, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on and the car experiences a shake and a quiver sort of state. I can still drive it okay, but whenever it reaches a stop, it shakes uncontrollably. The "Service Engine Soon" light has came on quite few times in this car's life. However, the uncontrollable shaking is a first. Any advice of what is wrong with the car??
Thanks
I had the same problem. It was the intake gasket, very common in this model. A $12.00 gasket - Nissan wanted $1000.00 to install it. I got it done for $327.00 - engine light still remains on but car drives just fine.

how do i replace the fuel filter on a 2000 Nissan Sentra
Fuel filter for SRDE20B15 engines (00-01) are in the tank mounted on top of the fuel pump inside the fuel assembly. Release fuel pressure by starting car and removing the fuel pump fuse, open fuel filler cap, remove rear seat, open fuel assembly cover by turning the screws clockwise, remove harness, remove fuel line quick connector carefully (if pressure was not relieved, gas will leak, make sure to release pressure completely), take out fuel assembly (watch out for fuel level sensor and temp sensor thingies). Pop top off the fuel assembly and pop fuel level sensor unit with screwdriver. Remove fuel pump harness connector, quick connectors. Pop top off completely, pop fuel filter+pump assembly out, remove fuel pump bracket on the bottom of it. Push fuel pump down from the top harness connector, Take out the rubber grommet (very important - car won't start) between fuel filter and fuel pump, put it into new fuel filter, and reverse all the steps to close it up.
