02 Sentra SE-R Problem no one can fix

manny02se-r · Jul 29th, 2005, 10:31 PM

I have almost given up.My automatic 2002 se-r has only 30k miles on it and already has had the computer replaced by the dealer twice.The first time it wouldnt start at 23k miles.Now it all of the sudden will not respond to the accelerator intermitetly.It did this last week and the dealer caught it in the process with the diagnostics hooked up and replaced the ecu again.Now it is duing it again and they say it will not act up for them.They say all connections are good.Please help if you can,any ideas will be great.

sounds like electronic problems which are really gray area. diagnosing it in person is hard and on a forum is harder. have you looked into lemon lawing it?

Yessir you have a lemon. You need to take that thing back and get another one.

I herd something like that once and that person replaced like 2500 dollars in parts and all that was wrong was the ground cable.

sounds more like....a typical automatic. They usually lag in response to throttle. Now, excessive lag might be the problem, but i'm thinking it's more tranny related than anything.

do any neutral drops lately?

Yeah didnt think of that. The valve body could make all these problems happen, and possible the torque converter. Did you change the fluid every 30 thousand miles, if not did you change it recently?

I don't know what state your from but in most states if a car goes into the
dealer or repairs for the same problem more than 3 times without a sollution that
the dealer has to buy it back or replace the whole car... check your local
lemon laws...

no i didnt know that. I guess they should have put a good tech on it the third time around
