I have a Nissan Altima 2.5 Liter 4 Cylinder.
-2 years ago I had my crank sensor replaced
-Almost a year ago my Check engine light came on, didnt see any problems they told me i had a misfire on cylinder 3 so I needed a tuen up so i got it.
-Car ran fine for about two months, then check engine light came on again, they said it was a misfire on cylinder 2, and they said that it was my Fuel Coils. Had those replaced
-
Car drove FINE for a few more weeks, Check engine light came on again, But still it wasn't acting funny, just light was on. SO i waited 2 days, to take it in but when I did, the car didnt want to start. It would crank,shake hard, then die. It would eventually start after about 5 or 6 tries and RUN perfectly smooth. But the check engine light would go off, and it stayed off for about 1 month, no problems
- Check engine light came on again finally and every few days it acted like it didnt want to start. So i took it to the shop, they told me my battery was very low, and one of my fuel coils was loose. So they fixed all that, new battery, car drove fine for ONE day. THen check engine light came BACK on with a P030 code.
-Went BACK to the shop, they said i had a bad spark plug they replaced that. Car ran fine for about 5 hours, then check engine light came back on and it went back to acting like it didnt want to turn over, but of course ran perfectly fine once it started.
-SO now I'm not sure what hte problem is, Someone said change the crank and cam sensors, and also someone sead it could be my headgasket leaking coolant on the engine.
Im thinking about just going to the Dealer at least to get the problem diagnosed
What kind of a shop have you been taking your car to? Is it one of those brakes/mufflers/tires shops that sells you a really cheap oil change, then scares the crap out of you by telling you everything you need to fix?
I hope the dealer gives you some good answers. Just don't jump on the first thing they say. Let us know what they tell you.
