hey all

My new stagea has a problem.

My new car pics&details

the car is automatic, and today when i was driving it, it stalled on me two or three times. was travelling at walking speeds in a car park and the check engine light would come on then the car would stall seconds after. I think i sore the O2 sensor light come on but im not 100% sure because by the time i looked down car had stalled and was in accessories mode. the car will restart with no worries at all.

anyone have any clue to what this is?

Dont mention it...you'll soon learn that we're a helpful bunch around here.

You'll receive advice that you just cant pay for.

P.S. Dont wash your engine, or you'll have more then stalling problems

yeah hey i had the same problem with mine not so long ago i checked all vacuum lines and no leak i then started checking everything it turned out to be the O2 sensor. hope you can get it fixed soon cause it is a bitch when it happens especially if your going around a round about and u got nothing the steering is heavy as hell

what was wrong with the sensor? is it the sensor in the dump/front pipe or the one in the cat?

It's in the the front/dump pipe. Visible from the top of the motor. Like most electrical stuff, they usually either work or they dont. I've never had to replace one, so others here may be able to shed more light. But basically, it simply unscrews and you whack in a new one. Prolly best if you spray the thread with WD40 or similar to loosen the rust. If possible borrow a friends as this could turn out to be an expensive and pointless exercise if the original is OK. Still, they're not that dear - under $100. Check that the voltage outputs on the replacement 0r borrowed one are the same as the original.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
