Code p0733 refers to gear 3 -incorrect ration===causes---wiring---TR sensor/switch--shift solenoids---transmission mechanical fault
code p0420 refers to catalytic converter system -bank 1---efficiency below threshold===causes--cat converter--wiring--HO2s 2
code po430 refers to cat converter system bank 2--efficiency below threshold===causes--cat converter--wiring ---HO2s 2
code p0328 refers to knock sensor (KS) 1 bank 1--high input===causes--wiring short to positive--KS incorrectly tightened--KS---ECM

basically replace the cat converters as they are blocking the exhaust system and preventing your over 45mph problem
replace the TR sensor/ switch as you have not mentioned a transmission problem
Rectify the problem with the KS as it controls the air/fuel mixture setting which contributes to the car getting hot.

SOURCE: 2000 nissan xterra v6 xe 2wd auto trans quit running idling .

Well, I hate to inform you of this, but all Nissan engines except the V-6 that was used in the Quest mini-van up to 2003 are interference engines- meaning that if a valve is fully open and the corresponding piston travels to Top Dead Center (TDC), they will contact forcefully resulting in a bent valve.

I have seen this many times as most people don't want to spend the $500 to have their timing belt replaced.

Fortunately for you, Nissan cylinder head castings are built pretty strong. I have pulled the cylinder heads and replaced bent valves (be sure to "lap them in" with a good valve lapping compound) and reassembled the engines with fantastic results. Most engines have broken valve guides and valves and pistons, but Nissans typically don't break these things.

This is a very involved job and should not be attempted unless you have pretty extensive experience with the internal combustion engine, so I would recommend a trusted mechanic or, ultimately, your local dealer.

Depending on labor rate, you're looking in the ball park of $1500 for this repair.

I hope this has been helpful!!

oil is non conductive so I doubt that's the problem, but the oil leak should be fixed to reduce problems down the road.
as for the misfire could be a couple things, fouled plug(s), a plug wire(s) that has cracks, or even valves that are not seating which i doubt from your explanation.
I would change your plugs and wires first, and fix oil leak. if this does not fix the issue there are other things going on.

My 03 Nissan Xterra is idling weird. It starts fine then goes into a cycle of rpm loops where it climbs to 1800 and drops to 1300 and keeps surging. I ran the codes and got p0328, p0174 and p0420. Any...

po328 is a knock sensor code ,0174 &0420 are emissions codes. Possibly a faulty knock sensor throwing out the timing, It may just have a vacuum leak causing it to run lean, affecting the timing causing knock sensor code, Scan for live readings, ck knock sensor, o2 sensors, A/F ratio & converter,clogged injector ect. Good luck

The check engine light and VSC light came on in my 2005 highlander. 168,000 miles

P0420 & P0430 You need new catalytic converter
The P0430 check engine light code, like P0420, means the catalyst system efficiency is below the required threshold. Simply put, this means your car is adding more pollution into the air than it's supposed to.

Ok/ I have a 02 Xterra. V6 ... Auto zone scanner says Cylinder 4 Misfire AND Knock code. I honestly think whatever the Cyliner 4 misfire issue is the REAL problem. The truck starts with no problems. It...

Hi, you will want to fix both codes. The reason is that when the computer is not getting data from the knock sensor it defaults to a safe ignition timing that reduces performance. The misfire requires troubleshooting. First check the plug and wire. If that's good, run a compression test. If that's good, check the injector pulse (use a voltmeter set to AC, and compare voltage to other injectors--with engine running). If the pulse is good, check to see if the injector is clicking. If it isn't clicking, you know it's bad. It might also be clogged, but you have to pull the fuel rail to see if it's clogged. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6715318-causes_gasoline_engine_misfires . These are genericinstructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

I have p0420 on my 06 pont gp gt. it mostly comes on after I slow down after highway

Here is the trouble tree for that code it is most likely a bad cat but follow the trouble tree to see where it lead's you.
DTC P0420 or P0430

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. See: Testing and Inspection\Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview\Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0420

* Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 1

Important: A new converter with less than 100 miles on it may set DTC P0420 or P0430 due to out-******* of the internal matting. Operating the vehicle at highway speeds for approximately 1 hour may correct the condition. Hope this helps
