What's your problem?My 2004 Nissan Xterra 4 x 4 is constantly sputtering, did the gas treatment deal and still sputters and to top it off the service engine light is on. HELP

  • Anonymous Feb 01, 2012

    i had the codes ran but i didnt get a copy ill get it re-read tomorrow. it only acts up on occasion, the vehicle just had a new cylinder head put in and lifters along with numerous gaskets and what not.. When it acts up it makes a noise almost as if it is misfiring and doesn't want to hardly move.. im baffled by it because im no slouch when it comes to vehicle repair. I'm the second owner and it has only 84,000miles on it.

Have the computer scanned for codes. Once you know the codes ou will have a much better idea of what the problem is. Three option for this 1 buy a code reader for about $50 and pull cos yourself 2 call you local parts store to see if the can pull codes for you. 3. Bring the vehicle to your local garage or dealer and have them do a diag. There is usua Ly a set fee for this. Once you have the code or codes post them and I'll see what I can do to help. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

My car started sputtering while it sit idling in drive. At first the sputtering was small but noticeable and it almost sounded like there was water in the gas tank especially since I refilled the tank and...

Go to the auto parts and get a container of Heat fuel treatment and get a new fuel filter also. Then pour in the proper amount of fuel treatment and change the fuel filter. This should fix your problem. Also when was the last time you changed the air filter. This would help it run better and increase your mileage.

My 2001 Nissan Xterra sputtered when accelerating and then would go above 20 miles per hr. i got off the gas and it evened out then i gave it gas again and it accelerated normally. Then about 10 minutes...

Sounds like you have water in the gas. Are you in cold country? The whole country is right now. Anyway, if that is the problem, It could have easily come from the gas station, there tanks condensate too, Get a can of dry gas. If that is not it, get the code checker on there and see what it says, could be an o2 sensor, something in the air horn sensor. a bunch of things most people don't even know exist. hope this helps.

Sputtering engine

Change the fuel filter and try running 91 octane and add some fuel injector cleaner through the fuel system. Try to more hyway runs rather then stop and go for a while and see if that will clear up the problem. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.
