P1110 Intake Valve Timing Control Circuit (Bank 1)

Hi Faybo,your pcv valve could be clogged up.here's a link on how to check and replace.Here's the part,easy to do.

check the condition of the teeth on the ring gear of the engine. They can become burred and cause improper engagement of the starter pinion. Check the adjustment of the pinion action.

There is no carburetor on these cars. They have direct port fuel injection systems. Put some injector cleaner in a full tank of gas to clean internally. I use Lucas products. Otherwise you have to take the injector out and clean is carefully in a wash bin.

It is hard to see but the Temperature Control Switch is under the distributer on the automatic transmission models

Pull the gear box drain plug and check for heavy metal stuck to the magnet. I suspect that the clutch in-put shaft bearing has failed. If so you will have to have the gear box rebuilt as the metal will have affected the other bearings

Duplicated question

Test sall the fuses first with a test light ands then test for power coming into the brake light switch all the time and back out on the other wire when the brake is applied

bettr git ur self a repair manual--store or library

idling controller sir . The idle air control motor is just beneath the throttle housing and is controlled by the fuel injection computer. Things that can cause a rough idle and stalling can be vacuum leaks

It's not visible without removing the evaporator case from the dash and that requires recovering the refrigerant. It's attached to the evaporator.

Can't help from internetNeed a shop to check for codes& find something causing your cars issuesYou pick up a mechanic at a shop,you drive &that person takes the scanner along hooked to the caror your wasting your time thereOnly then do you leave the car, when the problem surfaces & an experienced person is on that road trip

Check theromstat, also test coolant probe be sure it is sending good signal. Also you may need to oversize the waterpump pulley. Be sure the pump is moving the coolant .

Hi,
Check the a/c actuator, round metal with rod at the bottom, vacuum hose at the side. Located beside the carburetor.
When you turn on the A/C it will push the idle up( via vacuum system ). It has an adjuster at the top to set the right rpm of your engine.
Test also the vacuum hoses and A/C vacuum switch, just follow that black 1/4" dia. hose( vacuum hose ) and check the system.
If you have no idea on repairing the vacuums and the actuator, my suggestion would be to bring your car to the nearest A/C technician to have him repair it.
Thanks for asking FixYa!

Terry: It's obvious I'm not dealing with a USA spec car, however, I had lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands and am quite familiar with the Bluebirds of the past. Nissan still uses the same basic circuitry designs as far as what circuits serve what. Here are the circuits to look at.
All lights which are switched on by the headlight switch. This includes the Cigarette lighter back light, radio light power supply, automatics have shifter back lighting as well as your climate controls and all dash lights. Your side marker lights are also served by this circuit. The dash lights go through a type of dimmer switch which essentially creates resistance, thus dimming the lights. Sometimes the clocks are tied into the circuits. Start with the simple things first and work your way in. There is a type of fuse called a circuit breaker which will plug into the fuse block in place of the fuse.
Get the same rating as the one you pulled out. DO NOT USE A JUMPER WIRE AND LET THE SMOKE OUT OF THE WIRES!
If the circuit breaker blows immediately, you have a serious short!
With the circuit breaker, if the short is not real bad, the lights will burn for a little bit before the breaker blows. Once it cools, it will close and the circuit will operate again. While it is in operation, you look for the lights that operate and the ones that don't. Check the ones that don't. Although it's rare for a bulb to cause a fuse to blow, it does happen.
I often find problems are due to radio installations or other types of installations. So if you don't have a factory radio or if you have some type of accessory which has been installed in the console or dash, this would be a prime suspect. Nissan's are not really known for electrical problems unless they have been in collisions. If your car has been in a collision, look in the area where it was hit. You may find a pinched wire or damaged insulation. I am not quite sure what model your car would compare to in reference to a US car.
The Bluebird's were 510's. Are the Maxima's now? What ever model it is, unless it has no sister model imported to the
USA, the odds are that the circuits are going to be real close if not identical! I hope I have been of some assistance. Let me know.
