GAZZUZZ:
do not be in a hurry to buy another engine ecu.

4 things must be involved for a car to start.
1. A spark
2. Air fuel mixture
3. Compression.
4. All in the right order (timing)

Verify the presence or absence of these 4 elements

I really appreaciate and am going to properly investigate and give feedback.Thanks sir oooo!!

Oga Gazzuzz, please I need your technical decision on this my matter.
I packed my vehicle at the end of the day without any issue and the alternator belt was removed for change. After the belt change, it refuse to start after cranking to the extent of running down the battery. Scanning was done on the vehicle because check engine light illuminate, but no code was reported by scanner and even after clearing code from scanner, the check engine was still on. My finding on the matter is that ECU was suspected to be bad, please help to suggest what could be the problem because am preparing to buy another ECU. Vehicle is Nissan primera 2000 model with 1.8L engine.

austin4real:
Oga gazzuss what are the advantages and disadvantages of a qg18de engine in a Nissan primera
Heard those engines are disastrous.... H

austin4rea, I am owner of nissan primera with QG18DE engine. I will tell you that the engine is good like that of corolla with 1.8L. it has timing chain, rugged, and reliable just like those previous version of engine. The only thing many user willl call problem is that its technology is little advance than its older version ie it's distributorless. Uptill now a still using the engine, though i encounter serious problem that lasted for 8months due to crankshaft sensor problem and the diagnosis used was kazeem method but later resolved through my up grading of my DIY. In conclusion, it is a good engine.

Please post more pictures.

Want to see what to buy before traveling.

Interior, engine and side pictures

Which travel level u dey? Are u not in the same ibadan. I don't trust your dealing because my interaction with you in ibadan produce bad product

GAZZUZZ:
ignore this if your engine has been using mineral oil for a long time.

The engine would have built up protective sludge, that would stop it from burning oil.

In the event that you switch to full synthetic oils, the cleaning agents in the oil will breakdown the sludge, and engine might begin to exhibit oil burn and smoking.

If you did not start with synthetic, and you have been following bad gang for over a year, stick with your bad gang.

That is why I like your technical comment based on your exposure of naija condition and people. Thumb up for you

nurey:
If the mechanic opened your engine then timing is off as its chain driven, it's not like belt you have to position the chain and it's sprockets to default if not, you are just wasting your time.

1. The engine may take long to start
2. The engine will start but the rpm will be off the charts, if you load the engine, it will just die.

Try the new sensor but if the engine was opened I am leaning towards the timing is off.

nurey, At this point I want to appreciate your effort in helping me to solve the problem. After changing the sensor, the engine came to life without misbehavior again, i have been driving it for the past 3 days now without any problem. Thanks once again

nurey:
1. The Nissan engine has variant is yours really the 1.5L or 1.8L?

2. Those engine are different from each other but am not sure of the sensor

3. When they worked on my engine the mechanic was adamant that nissan engine is stubborn, he may change the sensor and the car may not start

4. I am not a technician and it will be hard for me to buy the sensor and send to you since I can't even identify quality one. If it doesn't work, you will then way bill it back again wasting money.

So what I want you to do is tell me the model and year of your Nissan. What is the trouble you are experiencing. Has the car been scanned for error codes. Is the technician currently working on it knowledgeable enough and where is the car located.

The car is Nissan primera P11-144 with QG18DE engine, meaning it has 1.8 engine capacity. Also as for your mechanic's point, i have procure 4 sensors and yet non of them is able to produce result for me. The car was scan and the result were P0340 or P0335 pointing to cam and crank shafts sensor, but what I observed was if one is changed and the scanner is use to clear check engine light, the next running of engine will generate the other code. Presently now the code is P0340 ie camshaft sensor and the engine face a lot of hesitation as if it is starve of fuel, even when the throttle pedal is press 100%, it will not respond accordingly and all this will happen when the rpm is below 2, but above 2 the car performance is okay. Though am planning to source change both sensor with another pair order from online by tomorrow morning to see if there will be change in car performance. Also your suggestion will highly be welcome. Thanks for your concern.

nurey:
I used a Nissan Almera N16 2000 model with QG15DE.
The sensor was sold then in Lagos for 2500 per pair while I bought a pair in kano for 4000 naira. It comes with two sensor, one on top and the other below, it's engine is similar to Nissan sunny though there are remarkable difference

Pls can you help me source the pair in lagos?

nurey:
This issue is the reason why you should always scan an OBD complaint car, it will save you the hassle and headache. A simple scan would have given a crank sensor code.

Well I have had same issue with a Nissan Almera, crank sensor was changed and same issue, there were actually 2 and I only changed 1 same issue until the second was traced and I found out it was just the wiring that gave way probably due to contact with heated engine body.

Pls how do you source for that sensor and what is your engine code for that nissan almera?

vicdom:
Broh, it's a bad experience I will not even wish my enemy. You believe I couldn't use A/C throughout that period. Once I put it on, the engine won't move at all. I could hardly run to over the small vehicle but only the heavy duty ones.
What actions have you taken so far??

My Brother, in a bid to solve the problem which lasted for 8 months the main problem was discovered after scanning to be cam shaft and crank shaft sensor. All effort to source for it was leading to getting the problem solve produce no result. Already the vehicle is abandon because am not even enjoying the driving on road, the most annoying part is the car perform well as if no problem at all when the rpm is 2.

emeify:
Please help me with info. My mechanic is working on my mercedes lorry and is charging 70k for servicing of injector.
Is this reasonable? Does he need to buy anything to do the servicing? I feel he is cheating me. Please help if you have any information. Thanks

Try to do market survey in your area first in order to know his character.

Am facing my own now, but my car is nissan primera and unable to source correct sensor.

Ziggyzito:

grafixdon:
Thanks so much. I'll have to go to ladipo if I couldn't get one here before the week runs out. I'll update you about the price. I'll also give you the seller's contacts.

Please answer the fuel question

SIR, on the issue of fuel consumption. I will give it very okay when compare with its other class of the same engine capacity. The engine of my own car qg18de code which 1.8 cc capacity though there are other version of primers with 2.0cc. My full tank will take me from okene through ekiti to Ibadan and still remain for to do my movement in Ibadan for 2days. In short u will enjoy the car performance but learn the mode of its operations and keep it in order without developing into another bigger problem. That is my little cent.

grafixdon:
Oh so you own almera/primera too. what's your experience with the car so far? I just got one today but the CD/stereo ain't working, wanna change it. how far with the fuel consumption and durability?

The vehicle with the car radio shown above is Nissan primera p11-144 with tiger face. The model is very good and reliable provided you at the type that maintain car by observing or inspecting it regular with necessary maintenance, then it will serve you well. Remember that my own is manual transmission and also base on my area part are available. The part ever changein the course of maintenance were water pump, oil filter, engine oil, gear oil, fuel filter and pump and modification on rear absorber and spring. Is a very good vehicle.

Op, in case you get pos let me know because am in need of one for my car. The LCD is not showing just as shown in picture above. Thanks.
