Engine problem I can't solve...

NissaN_Nos · Oct 2nd, 2005, 03:23 PM

Well here are the symptoms:
-idles rough
-Has a miss when it idles
-stalls out when gas I press on the gas and release
-If it is left idling it won't stall

I've done a basic tune-up
-pcv valve
-air filter
-spark plugs
-ignition wires
-rotor
-distributor cap

Any suggestion on what it may be...because I'm lost...

what type of engine? E-series, GA16i, or CA-series? Sounds like vaccuum or mass-airflow problems to me.

I think I am experiencing the same problems w/ my 85 pulsar. all my vac lines have been checked and are 100% functional. I still experience this problem with me car. Mine is the E16 w/ 5 speed Tranny.

Good luck to any and everybody who can solve this.

I am hoping someone will find the problem.My mechanic and everybody who tried to work it out were completely lost.

might want to try replacing the O2 sensor

Replace all the vaccum lines for the E-series. I ran into this problem especially in cold
weather before I replaced the damn thing with a Weber.

And make sure the choke is spot on after a extreme cleaning. Use some air/fuel ratio tester.
hese carbs can be really damn anal when the choke gets aged.
Worst case is that you have a intake manifold leak that causes the problems when you do the same things.

Anyone with a GA16I check the Fast Idle Control Device solenoid (FICD), the Auxiliary Air Control solenoid (AAC), and the Idle Up solenoids. I have a write-up here... The GA16I Sensors How to Thread - AllNissans.com - NPM Forums
