1999 Nissan Quest - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

it sound to me like you have a cv joint worn out. these are located on either end of your driveshafts and dependant on where and what side the noise is will indicate which 1 needs replacing. usaually caused by a split cv gaitor leading to an ingress of dirt and water.

sounds like your mechanic is just a oil changer and not a skilled technician,your Ac system needs draining on a proper machine and the amount of gas recovered weighed,then a vacumn and a additive for stop leaks added with some leak dye and the system regassed and this vehicle if the same as a nissan cargo or serena with rear AC unit should hold somewhere around 1.4 kilos of R134 gas ,note its in kilos not lbs and this is by weight not one of them cans from the local wallmart connected to the inlet port ,then when the gas is added check the pump pressure with the machine on the high pressure port ,then close the valve and allow the inlet port to draw the gas back into the system then when machine is disconnect you check the amount of gas on a recovery to make sure all the gas went into the vehicle if more than 20 grms recovered from the machine then allow it to draw some more in via the inlet port .

Sounds like the float is stuck, or corroded. Look to see if you have an access door above the fuel tank. If so you should be able to take out the fuel sender, unstick the float, or clean the sensor, and replace it

My power window fuse don't work. the window goes down never came upAny one can help me de to it please ?

COINS INSIDE LOL PROBABLY UNLIKELY BUT THAT HAPPENED TO ME.

RESET THE COMPUTER AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD GROUND IS YOUR DISTRIBUTOR NEW OR USED

Driverside switch could also be bad i had the same problem or the switch you have is bad the lock switch will also keep it from working make sure your parts are new and not from junkyard it is a common problem and your likely to get a bad switch.

Hi, it sounds like you have a clogged fuel filter.

It is behind the intake manifold on the left side of the engine. It will take almost 6 hours to replace this part.

the knock sensors on Nissans are a microphone detector,, which causes a bunch of faulty codes,, There is one knock sensor. Check the connector. Sometimes just disconnecting and reconnecting fixes the fault. Otherwise, it is not difficult to replace. It is a round gizmo attached to the block with a bolt through the center, and an electrical connector on the side. Sometimes this will pop up due to a misfire in (normally ) the number one cylinder,, check the plugs and plug wires,, a misfire will set off the sensor and in turn reflect on the code coming up , I'd do a tune up procedure rather than worry about the sensor,, once tuned,, your idle should be better, and the code should clear

not sure about your vehicle but it sounds like a coil when they go bad they heat up and open so the engine will get no spark , it's a cheap try.

If it has the 4 cylinder in it 5W20 and if you have the 6 cylinder it could be either 5W20 or 10w30. I usually use 5W20 in cold months and 10W30 in hot months. As far as capacity goes, as a general rule if you change the oil but not the filter, not something I recommend, then you start with 4 quarts and adjust from there (Basically by 5 quarts). If you change the oil and filter then start with 4 and a half quarts and check the level and adjust as needed. You could use up to 5 quarts maybe a little more. Make sure you check the level before starting then start the vehicle for 5 minutes shut it down then check the level again after 5 minutes. Make sure the level is between the marks.

hi, you can go here.

have a local mechanic do a pressure test on the cooling system as i think that a vehicle this old could need a new head gasket as they do deteriorate with age especialy on vehicles around the 98 to 2002 era with that funny bonding material that was used

start your car up and stand out side the car with it running and gentle push or pull on each door and see if the light on the dash goes out or comes on and you should be able to locate which door is the problem one and then we can go further.
Let me know

I would start by making sure the Trans Fluid level is correct. If the level is good, it sounds like your internal pressures are leaking down, and that is why it slips out of gear. Which means you have internal trans issue which would require the trans to be most likely removed and repaired.

Thanks Jay!

Internal problem in radio

I'm not sure what kind of universal sensor you got but having been in this business for over 25 years and own a shop now I would like to make a suggestion to you. Take the universal back. Your system has a heated O2 sensor and a universal will just not do the job and you may still get DTC's (the engine light will come back on). Even if you need to go to Nissan and spend a little more money for the sensor, it will work correctly. Even though your vehicle is older, it still depends on readings from the sensors to the computer in order for it to run right. This may also help gas mileage by putting the correct one in not to mention if your vehicle runs richer or leaner you will end up doing a tune up on it sooner then normal so the extra money you spend now will pay for itself later. Your not my customer so I'm not making money off of you just trying to give you a tip. I hope you take the advice. If you do still want to put the universal on you may end up contacting the manufacturer in order to get the correct wiring for it unless someone has it on here but they would still need to know who made it.

You will have to take inside panel off and release the bar that is held on by a clip once you do that you have two bolts to remove then just take the old handle out from the outside and put the new one in . Hope this helped
