It has been my experience with nissan that from your description, the EGR valve is bad."exaust gas recurculater" However it also may have a fuel filter issue due to perhaps water in fuel, trash,etc. If the engine operates correctly once you get it past the "shaky"area then the chances of the EGR valve being bad are better.Hope this helps.....Good Luck!

Sounds like The thermostat is stuck open, Keeping the water/coolant circulating too fast and not getting warm...

The clutch is OK? Try to adjust it

I suggest that you start by going to AutoZone and getting a free diagnostic scan. A scan is the only way to realistically pinpoint problems in post 1983 vehicles.

Hi El Faraon,
I believe that you're dealing with 12 mm bolts and nuts....THESE ARE NOT THE SPECS FOR YOUR ENGINE, but I believe that if you use them you'll be close....Tighten in three stages up to 22nm....choose the bolts from the centre of the manifold and circle outwards until you reach the last one.....It may be a good idea to draw an overhead or plan view of the unit, marking out the bolt positions.....Start at the centre and mark the sequence and follow that....What is important is starting at the centre, so that nothing becomes warped....

Hope this helps,

make sure your air filter is clean and get some carb spray or throttle body spray and spray the valves and clean all the gunk off and hope that ur intake passages are not starting to clog up

YES ! even a caveman can do it

You mean make pop noise or explosion noise?If so. It could be water in the gas line or very dirty air filter.Mai lor

MAKE SURE CAR IS CHARGING GOOD. IF GOOD CHECK VOLTAGE AT HEAD LIGHT THEN PRESS BRAKES IF VOLTAGE IS THE SAME FIX HIGH RESISTANCE ON THE GROUND IF VOLTAGE DROPS WILL NEED TO TRACE WIRE FOR A VOLTAGE DROP . GOOD LUCK I THINK IS A GROUND

I would get a second opinion. Apparently the tire guy may have got the alignment right, but didn't check for loose suspension or steering parts that will cause your problem. Have your inner and outer tie rods checked for wear and looseness. Also the suspension's ball joints.
