IT should be your oil light... correct if I'm wrong as the pi is quite small... it should show that there's something wrong with your engine's oil...

I'm pretty sure...

would get it checked out if it's always showing you this... if not this, might be your radiator light?

The oil light is red, the check engine light is orange.

yeah agreed.....

but if the oil light isn't on (and if it is you should;ve already kissed your engine goodbye) there will be another problem

as said... runa quick check on the ECU and all should be fine....

either that or take it to a mechanic....

Is your car missing at idle or sputtering when you get up it? Could be ignition problem (as in coils) Are they the factory coils and how many k's are on the car?

depends, mine is currently getting new coils as mine kept missing and dropping a cylinder. The only light that came on was the engine light so it could very well be ignition related. If your having similar symptoms to me its most probably your coilpacks.

I think it depends on how bad the faulty coil is. Mine started missing before the engine light went on and a guy on here by the name of alexr34 had no problems at all except his engine light went on. They both turned out to be the same problem. If in doubt take it to a mechanic that can do a diagnostic on it and it will tell you which error code is causing it to come on. Or if you like to do things yourself I think there is a thread on here showing you how to check the error codes for yourself. PM 666dan and he should be able to help you.

my guess! this is an engine check light with most cars they will come on momentarily after start-up, this is normal from new. If the light stays on it could mean the engine has reached 100,000 klm and now needs a major service ie timing belt or the like.

mines almost 60000km and the light gone out its been around a week now since its gone out

so for now not really worrying

until it comes back on again

Oxygen sensors......???

Faulty coil pack.......???

Faulty wiring or Spark plugs....?????

AFM's..(High knock levels)...................???

These can all send the light on.

Best is to read the codes....find the error and address the problem.

Cheers

knocking / pinging / pre-detonation. in the engine. generally happens under load because of bad fuel / bad tune, the engine will make a distictive rattle when loaded up under acceleration. If you hear this back off drive steady get it fixed.

means the fuel is igniting before the piston reaches the top and the spark hasn't fired.

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
