My 2001 nissan sentra gxe gave a code p0720. what can I do?

As car is moving, sometimes the transmission gets stuck. The acceleration gauge shows the car accelerating, but the speed remains 20mph. The car has trouble accelerating frequently. Check engine light came on and Nissan diagnosed the problem. Diagnostic gave code p0720. Nissan says the speed sensor is no longer available, even as an after market part. What are my options?

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.

Nissan Sentra 2001 gxe with code p0420

You will need a new catalytic convertor assembly. Yours is below treshold efficiency in other words its "no good".If you have it replaced, ask the garage/dealer to give you the old one back. Its worth some cash if its full. It doesn't matter thet it failed. They are going after the mesh inside of it and that is worth some $$$$. May not be much , but better than nothing.

Code P400

Code P400 is an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve malfunction.

These cars are known for the EGR ports getting clogged.

The valves themselves rarely fail.
