You had better left that engine sourcing to mechanics who knows what to look for in a Tokumbo engine before you go buy 'appearance engine'[/quo


OK sir

The car starts well when cool. I use Mobil XHP. Since day one . What is PCV valve . What is OCI ?
Thank u

starting issue sounds like fuel pump. Scan asit could also be one of those cam or crankshaft sensors. PCV- positive crankcase ventilation valve. OCI- oil change interval. When the PCV is bad or blocked, car starts consuming more fuel, shorting oil, smoking white. It also causes increased combustion chamber pressure leading to blowing of seals. Engine starts leaking oil via valve cover and any other place that has seal. Oil can seep into plug holes.

Pleases where can I get to buy antitheft steering wheel lock?
Thank you.
Location is Ibadan /Abeokuta

Thanks a lot. I strongly doubt my mechanic will know this PCV.....I change oil every 3months . I've noted the fuel pump..will get it changed

Good Day, I own a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8, see the pictures below. I travelled with it from Abuja on Saturday, 20th June 2020 to Benin enroute Auchi. When I got to Auchi, I bought fuel at the NNPC Mega Station, I must admit that after buying fuel, I wanted to start the car when I noticed the gear lever was on drive position. I moved it to park but when I turned the ignition, it refused to start. From that Saturday to Tuesday, 23rd June 2020 several mechanics from Benin came to check the car and their conclusion was for me to replace camshaft sensors and ECU. Scan results showed the following codes: P0447, P1564, P1615, P0340 and P0345. I have bought over 10 camshaft sensors and three ECUs(brain boxes) but the vehicle cranks but has still refused to start.
Please what do I do. Thanks.

Awfa bro?
Any update?

before you go changing your fuel pump, scan the car.

Good Day All, just to update the house and ask for the way forward. I spoke to the mechanic although am in Lagos presently and he is with the vehicle in Auchi. He said a new ECU or brain box has been gotten and the old one replaced. He also said the new ECU is now bringing light to the plugs, nozzles which the old ECU did not and there is communication between the ECU and other parts of the vehicle. Just as I was elated to hear that he said the vehicle has lost timing and that he has to be reset the timing before it starts. Please is he on track cos he said he has adjusted the timing and is waiting for the programmer to complete his work and start the vehicle.

Thanks.

any good Dot 3 heavy duty brake fluid will do. But I'd always advice you switch to Dot 6 if you see any.

Modified: I scanned the car and got p0340. I found camshaft position sensor bank 1 when I search for the code online. The mechanic advised I changed both bank 1 and 2.

It indeed has started but the mechanic said after it starts it revs for a while and stops. So he scanned it and said he would need sensors. So he has gone to Benin to buy the camshaft sensors. Thanks everyone for your help and support.

Getting tokunbo sensors that actually work is difficult so you might need to hold on tight to the bank 2 sensor for emergency situations. You should advice the mechanic to visit Ladipo and buy straight from the engine.

I hope he gets functional sensors this time. It would be nice if he can get straight from an engine or just go along with a multimeter.

If tokunbo or naija used check the transmission well well and ensure it is in good condition.

After buying change your transmission oil every 6 months if you can afford it use Nissan NS-2 which is a CVT fluid nothing else.

NOTE
MURANO is fitted with CVT not regular Automatic transmission and any automatic transmission fluid you pour inside would damage the transmission
