Originalsly: @Poster...I think nechanics would downgrade Nissan Quests/Mercury Villager because they are not familiar with Nissan. The other reason may be fuel consumption....3000cc engine...very strong and fast.
Bros please what is 3000cc engine & how does it affect fuel consumption. Does it gulp fuel a lot? What makes it fast and reliable? How does someone identify a 3000cc engine by viewing from the open car bonnet.

You might have to tow it to somewhere safe first, then get your mechanic to check it again. You said you changed the sensor and fuel pump after your mechanic did a scan and it's still not coming on right? Sorry but what and how did they do the scan? The scanner is meant to detect "everything" wrong with the car. I doubt your mechanic scanned it and if he did,he didn't do a thorough job. Just saying. Please I would like to know how you finally resolved this matter when you do (get your car to safety first pls)

Was there some kind of jerking while in motion? What exactly has been done on the car already? so that we can know where to start from.

ByfireByfire: Too many thanks dipo. I also was considering Mitsubishi Montero 97 to 2002 alongside because its high & best for bad roads here.Thats another car that's cheap & looks great that people also disdain.What do you think about this one. Does it have engine or electrical or gear problems.Which would you pick among the two.
. A little contribution as regards d Montero. Guess u have already made up ur mind on d quest, however Montero is a war horse....i have mine now for 5 years but still prefers it over my X-terra(04) and Honda civic(08). Yeah, sounds weird but its true.....has never sons day broken down on me......parts are affordable and available..... Fuel consumption is just there ( for a 3.5litre v6 4wd).....yeah, d only snag is d smoking engine..... Wanted to change d engine but was advice not too.....advice yo change d rings and valve oil seal.....yet go gir it though....u can gv d Montero sports a thought.... Its worth it.

Originalsly: @You are buying it cheap...so don't expect the value to increase in years to come. I would recommend you buy it..and get wheels a size bigger for clearance.
A point to note:changing tyres to bigger ones is not that straight forward. Wrong size will increase fuel consumption. You can check the car manual for your car tyre equivalent or search online or look for tyre calculator online.

Dear All,
I am proud owner of 2001 Mercury Villager. Please note; nissan quest and mercury villager are same in parts and body. The two are direct collaboration between nissan and ford. Ford makes the body and some parts while nissan makes the engine and other parts. The most outstanding about the 2001 Model engine is that it is v6 (3.3L SOHC); it produces 170 horsepower @ 4800 rpm. Produces 200 lb.-ft. Of torque @ 2800 rpm. Single overhead cam helps provide enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced noise and vibration. Aluminium cylinder heads contribute to decreased engine weight, added efficiency and long life.

My present van; mercury villager is my third car (brought from American Motors), having used Honda Accord and Toyota Camry v6. The van is over three years on Nigga road, rocking from home to office daily,(distance of 70km daily). I am offering you full assurance that the nissan quest is more realiable. The quest moves like jet with most fuel economy. The maintenance is suberb. I will advice you stick to Fully Synthetic Oil (5w 30) for engine oil change. I service mine once a year (covering 7,500 miles)

Please note, before you buy the van, no matter how attractive it appears, YOU MUST RUN A SCAN FIRST. This is non-negotiable.

Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager; Power Driver!

So correct!.....I really meant the bigger size according to the manual...and not one of his liking!

ByfireByfire: I'm considering purchasing nissan Quest of within the years mentioned.
1.Why is it that it seems people avoid them.
2.Why are they cheap compared to other space wagon like Toyota Sienna.
3.Do they break down easily or have silly problems like the first generation murano.
I also noticed the same trend with nissan altima from say 98 to 2002.


I really don't know y people avoid the vehicle, but I know of three near my house that have been parked for a couple of years, I don't know much about the vehicle, a friend used to have one and the transmission failed at a point in time she had it replaced and continued using the vehicle.

But if every one is running I guess you should consider running too.

Looks like a fuel pressure problem, but without the proper equipment you might just end up messing up your car. You said scanning no way? What does that mean. Help us help you, a detailed report on how the problem started and what has been done till present, including parts that have been changed.

Modified

Check for spark at the plugs if yes problem is most likely a fuel pressure problem, consider checking the fuel pump relay and fuel pump pressure before touching anything else.

Coil bad causing jerking yes, coil damaging your ecm heard about it in extreem cases of over heating, where the coils crack and burst open.

If he is correct your continued use of the vehicle should have damaged your new ecm bu now.

You can go online and read from forums people's report around the world about the car.

Also, get the VIN number and run the check on it. There are experts on that here who will do it free for you. It's important.
