Hello all. Long time here.

Please help me on this old car oo, 1999 Nissan Primera SR20 DE engine, wagon.

It developed this recent problem. Its very hard to start in the morning or after packed for long time. When driving the acceleration just suddenly goes down and later it will pick up and run very fast. In all these, it is very lazy on the road especially when climbing hills. And it consumes more fuel than before.

The mechanics and auto electrician diagnosed the problem as bad fuel pump and it was changed twice but the problem persisted. Electrician suspected the air flow meter but we swapped air flow meter from a similar car and the probelm remained.The car stayed one week with the auto electrician but no solution. Please help diagnose the problem before I get tired of the jalopy.

Thanks for the call and the number sent.

I have even forgotten that I have the number on my phone. It just came upbas I want to save it again. I will get across to him.

I had similar problem with my Nissan Almera Tino 2001 . Airflow meter, crank shaft sensor and engine. I changed the engine (110k), airflow meter(10k) and and bought a new radiator (12k). Since then (over a year ) my car sound like new. There were times I won't even kick start the car for a month because I have a Toyota Hilux (2019) for work and the engine would start great. The only thing that makes me think of a mechanic is servicing which I don't joke with. Just to add, Nissan is a special breed of vehicle,very different from other cars but durable and more lasting. An experienced Nissan mechanic is difficult to find.

You changed the engine!!! Haba. I'm sure the engine was not bad. Just an electrical fault not detected.

When I bought the car , I wasn't told the engine was ringed coupled with the fact that it also overheats. The car also consumed fuel like crazy and it smokes. The problems was just too much. I took the peaceful initiative of changing the engine and it was the best decision I have made using the car. Next time I would make sure I buy a new vehicle if I have the money. I have driven a new vehicle and the feeling is out of this world .

Let the Nairaland mechanics talk.
