Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by tkovie2002(m): 1:34am On Dec 09, 2014
tkovie2002:

I spoke to someone over here who told me he has it in stock, but before I thought of leaving to get it, I wanted to do a thorough check again to make sure I wasn't replacing something that isn't bad. I made another mechanic close to my house go under the car and check the sensors, he saw one at the front, close to the bumper disconnected. It has a green 4-pin plug. He connected it back and ensured that the back one was in place too.
I decided to drive the car around for a few minutes if I'll notice any changes, but I only got a 0.1 MPG gain which was normal because the car was fluctuating between 8.8 MPG and 9 MPG in between use of regular and premium fuel. When I came back from the short test drive, I told him to disconnect the battery terminals, and replace them again (hoping to reset the whole system). He did that and when I checked my screen if there was any changes, the MPG was showing *.* (which was what I expected as he has just removed the battery terminals and the system has not been able to calculate the MPG since I've not driven it). The DTE (Distance To Empty) was on the same number before the terminal removal. So I told him I needed to drive the car for the whole day and check for changes which I did and I bought premium fuel. During the test drive, I noticed the MPG was increasing slowly which I expected, but to my surprise, later at night, I crossed my usual 8.8 and even my best of 9.0 MPG and recorded 10.1 MPG before I got home.
Now, here's my question. Considering my increasing MPG, could there still be a problem? Are the sensors working as they should or do I still need to replace them. I could have gone to scan them but it costs alot and I was considering to get a cheap scanner instead of always going to pay for scanning. I found someone who sells the scanning software and USB cable that will enable me to use my laptop as a scanner. I don't know if that is reliable so I would need your advise.
I believe the more I keep driving the car, the more MPG I'll get but one more thing is, the MPG starts reducing slowly too when I'm idling.
Please let me know if there's anything I have to do next.
PS: There's no catalyst in my car (it got burnt a while ago)
Thanks

tkovie2002:

UPDATE: So far so good, I have recorded 11 MPG from my car MPG calculator. I also want to manually calculate it. By the time my fuel gets exhausted, I will update the house and PLEASE!!!!! If any of you have any more advise for me, do not hesitate to let me know.
Thanks

@ nissparts PLS OOOO

Buy it. Its a great buy, it uses CVT so don't mess around that tranny. Some folks install extra external transmission cooler. It comes in either 2.5L i4 or 3.5V6 its Nissans reply to Honda accord and Toyota Camry.

Why would you want to put vodka or spirits in your car? I'm sure you are just kidding grin

Not too difficult. Again, Nissparts to the rescue. Or Ladipo. Not more than 3.5k to the litre. You'll need 5 to 6 litres. If what you have there now is well gauged, then refill the amount drained.

sorry this has nothing to do with tyre pressure, but, since its a nissan/infinity thread i might as well go for it. it has to do with the fact that am getting excessive, needless heat into the cabin of my 04 max SL. it doesnt matter what the weather is like, as soon as the car warms up the engine heat gets transferred into my glove box, the center tunnel and also from under -neath the steering wheel area. i have disconnected the heated seats thinking its part of the problem, but, no cigar, sir! i have always made sure to adjust the heating all the way down and also switched the vent controls to vent air from outside all to no avail. any of you folks experience this discomfiting situation as i avoid using my aircon frequently due to fuel consumption worries.
any pointers in the right direction appreciated.

Hello Costee & Nissparts or any one else for that matter.
Anyone experiencing a similar issue with a stuffy cabin? Or is it just peculiar to my ride? Or is it my imagination/ all in my head? Would surely appreciate your much needed pointers. Thanks in advance.

Sorry guys please ignore the above quoted post as i was able to retrieve the reply to it after i had posted ( still newish to the forum, hence, not too familiar with the search mechanism)
Thanks to Nissparts for pointing me in the direction of the (possibly) blocked cat as the culprit. Am yet to tend to it but avoid driving the car anyway until i can do as advised.

I want to ask if doing a radiator bypass in a 2006 nissan pathfinder will still not affect d Suv in anyway.

It will even be of benefit to the SUV. Its gonna prevent mixing of atf and coolant fluid which will ruin the transmission. That vehicle had a class action law suit for that defect and one way to prevent such damage is radiator bypass

Ogas in the house, kindly help me with a little piece of advice. I ran a scan on my Infiniti Fx 35 and it returned the code P1211 (ABS/TCU control unit) and P0442 (Small leak detected). Please where do I go from here? I have spent house studying the vehicle manual but got no helpful info. I will appreciate any info. Thanks
