1994 Nissan Bluebird TI review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable and luxury car in this range, excellent hi-fi and features"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It lost power at traffic light or slowing down after about 20 minutes drive. Can restart after a minute or so.
I have replaced the fuel filter and the problem still there. Then I brought it to a garage and the computer code showed it is the crank sensor problem. It was found that there was engine oil leaking into the distributor, and usually after 20 minutes running, the oil will be spilled by the rotor to cover the sensor so it cuts off power immediately. When the car stopped for a minute, the oil dripped to the distributor bottom and not covering the sensor, it is back to normal. So I have the distributor replaced.
This is my case and hope it can help.
