NeyofeedNigEnt: There is a valve in your intake manifold that varies air intake for improved engine performance. Check your vacuum lines to ensure there is no leakage. also check the connection to the solenoid that control this manifold valve. If all checks out you may need to remove your intake manifold and clean it up. |

jrusky: It is not a bad SUV, but you need to ensure that The radiator is in good condition(or better, the radiator has been replaced.) also confirm the gearbox is in good working condition. Check the gearbox dipstick to ensure you dont see any thing that looks like strawberry milkshake. |

MotorGuru: Thank you so much Motor Guru. I check all the vacuum lines no leakage at all and that's the only trouble code I'm getting P2006. So I can tell my mech to remove the manifold and clean it? Or is there any implications if I continue to use like that? |

jceesquare: Please this needs to be confirmed. However ensure your idle control valve has not been blocked and all vacuum lines are intact. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by jceesquare(m): 4:12pm On May 20, 2019 |
MotorGuru: How does a DIY confirm if the idle control valve is working? I've checked the vacuum system myself and it looks intact. |

MotorGuru: I eliminated all that before we finally discovered that it was one of the valves that had issues after we opened up the cylinder. Car is back to normal now, though I hope the engine will remain in top shape now that it has been opened. |

MotorGuru:Pls how does one fix the valves in a 2007 Nissan Xterra? The mechanic said the timing chain had a problem. This was replaced. Now he is saying all valves were affected and have to be replaced? I don't understand. Is he correct? How much are the valves? Any ideas? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by nurey(m): 6:57pm On Jun 07, 2019 |
laudate: Interference engine, timing faulty affects valves. timing chain issues were non existent in those engine year. Always ensure you use full synthetic oils for timing chain fitted engines wrong oil causes timing chain issues |

laudate: Valves themselves are cheap. Replacing them is expensive |

luckize: ?? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by laudate: 11:36pm On Jun 07, 2019 |
radautoworks:What kind of replacement costs are we talking about? Can you give a rough estimate, pls? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by laudate: 11:37pm On Jun 07, 2019 |
nurey:Sorry... what do you mean by "interference" engine? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by nurey(m): 5:56am On Jun 08, 2019 |
laudate: In simple terms an interference engine gets valves bent when the timing gives way in motion or when it is not in motion and you kick the car and engine rolls. "valves aren't expensive but the job is" means each valve could cost you not more than 2 to 3k for quality but the job is a tough one, engine has to be brought down opened and dismantled, bent valves removed and Engine internals scrutinized for other faulty components like seals, engine block, piston damage if non then it has to be coupled back exactly with the right torque wrench for bolts . in other words your average Joe doesn't have the required expertise or tools for doing it. The engine though will work but won't last. 2 Likes |
