Why doesn't the speed ometer work on a nissan sentra 1996?

When the speed ometer isn't working the acceleration goes up and down and feels like it loses power.

SOURCE: 01 sentra when i accelerate my car doesnt speed up and it makes a wooofing noise

very first thing i would try is a full tune up. This means the fuel filter , air filter, plugs and wires and possibly the coils. If this still does not fix it then try doing an emissions clean on it. What this does is it cleans out the intire fuel system and is very simple to do. Depending on the transmission on whether its a standard or automatic could be a bad tranny.

SOURCE: 1996 nissan sentra check engine light keeps coming

Anytime a code is set it does not necessarily mean that that part is defective that the code refers to. The code only means that part is being effected. As you have seen, replacing that part may or may not solve the problem. A good technician can determine what is causing the problem based on the code and other factors. Do not throw any more parts at the problem. Have it diagnosed by a professional who knows what they are doing.

On a 05 nissan sentra with a 2.5 engine,what would cause the engine speed to surge up & down at 2000rpm

You may won't to check your air filter. It may be loose or may need to be replaced. This can cause power surges. If this doesn't work you may won't to look into you fuel filter or fuel pump.

Poor acceleration, but the engine is strong

your ECM/ computer may be shot. those model sentras had campaign, where the ECM box would be lined with foam to hold the computer tight, but the fumes from the glue that Nissan used to hold the foam down, would eat the computer internally and destroy it. Nissan had us pull those foams out and discard. if you still have the foams inthere, good chances are that the ECM is fried, causing issues. Question: did you use aftermarket air filter in the air box?? or Nissan filter?? Let me know. very important to use Nissan filter it this car.

2004 nissan sentra struggles to accelerate

When it losses power have a fuel pump pressure gage hooked up, it may be the pump is badly worn and it is losing pressure after it heats up, have seen this many a time. Also run a fault code test on the engine control computer using an OBD2 code reader.

My car has an air flow problen it is a nissan B14 mod.1996 I believe it is the trottle body that is bad.It would run for a while, then when the engine is hot it will start to loose power and if you put it...

Doesn't really look like an airflow problem. May be a lot of causes but most common in your case is a faulty distributor. Lightly touch the distributor after the engine has warmed up. If it's very hot (can't keep your finger on it) then you most probably have a faulty coil in there.

MY 1996 NISSAN SENTRA HORN DOESN'T WORK

Just buy a new one. It will be much more of a problem when you try to repair a defective horn. However! Check the wiring, fuse, and switches first if they work, if they are all okay, then go buy a new horn. An electrician can check if those components are working so you can pinpoint which ones to replace. You can do it yourself though, but I'm not an expert at that so I can't really teach you how.

I have a 93 Nissan Altima (AT transmission) and while driving my car....sometimes the speed ometer stays on "0" and the RPM goes up while I have my foot on the gas and it sounds like it is stuck in first...

Speedometer failed when the cable is broken; if the gears wont egnage, its possible that you have any propblem in the Torque Converter or Solenoids. First try with mainenance and check fluids.

Brake and Battery light both just came on today.

Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir. The sensor in it may be detecting low fluid. This usually means you need a brake job since the rotors/pad/shoes have worn down.
The battery light may be caused by the alternator not charging. Check the drive belt - it could be loose. You can get the charging system check at Sears and some auto parts stores. Call around.
