1994 Nissan Altima from North America - Comments

Hi, to all the answer to my earlier post (signed nmay2k@yahoo.com). The problem was fixed when a distributor was purchased from an alternate source rather than the dealer. The dealers are apparently not aware that they are reselling cores that are not functional at higher temperatures.

I recently purchased a 1996 altima gxe automatic with 98k miles decent body for 2900

i though the price was a little on the low side especially when he immediately dropped it from 3400 when o showed the least bit of interest

The car ran fine for 1 week and after about 150 miles of use until the car lost spark on the 1 and 4 cylinders

After close examination, removal of the distributor and rotor and finally a dust cap I discovered about 2 tablespoons of oil belo the dust cap

There is a o ring here that seems to seal with the dust cap

Is this the o ring that everyone is talking about

If not where abd how much deeper would I have yo fo to locate it.

I have replaced the crank sensor in my '94 altima twice in the last year and it just went out again this morning. This makes it very difficult to get where you're going. Anyone know what the real fix to this problem is? I've been buying from a parts store and not a Nissan dealer.

The radio in my 1994 Altima GLE does not function any longer. This is a factory installed unit consisting of an AM/FM radio, cassette and CD player. None of the components operate (radio.CD or cassette). The unit suddenly lost power. No other electrical utiliy or option has failed (i.e., power windows, power door locks, etc.). Hope you can give some insight in diagnosing this problem. This car has a nice sound system and I truly would like to have the function restored.

Thanks in advance, Ronny"

My 1994 Nissan Altima failed smog at 111,010 miles. The measured NOX readings are 1027 at 15 mph and 888 at 25 mph. The EGR valve was checked to be working condition. Do I need the catalytic converter replaced? What else should I check?
