1997 Infiniti J30 t review from North America
"I will stick with Infiniti when this car wears out someday!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the check engine light come on and the car would not shift into Overdrive. Code error PO705. Discovered that the Park position on shifter has a switch that is normally closed until placed in Park (get at the switch by removing the shift stick from the console - 4 bolts). Contact evidently weakened on the switch, reading 20 ohms in closed Drive position. Cleaned contacts and Overdrive began working again. Then reset the Check Engine light at the local auto parts store. All is well since. Only other problem I have had is the power steering boots wore out early ($300 to replace at dealership).
General comments?
My 1997 J30t is a very reliable car. I have done most maintenance myself.
