Hey guys,

I wasnt sure where to ask this so i thought i would post it up here and see if anyone knew what was going on.

Lately when i start my car somtimes the traction control light, slip light and engine light will all light up and the car wont be running right. it sounds more rumbly at idle and reving and just doesnt feel right, i turn the car back off and start it up again and it will be fine? Not really sure whats going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

get nissan consult or one of the clones and check for error codes from the stock ECU

all of the systems rely on the TPS working and it may be intermittently going out of range

when it does, a number of systems can fail, like the ones you mentioned

i get this on my 33 sometimes, fix is to turn off car, pump accel pedal a few times (open/close throttle body) and restart and its fine

its likely the TPS sensor may be dirty, loose or starting to fail. check consult for real time diag

Lol I was bout to go n post the very same thing. I was thinking that it was either faulty dash or coilpacks. I thought it was the dash cos when all three light up I find that when i try turning traction on/off the lights all stay on. I also stopped past my mechanic who plugged into my computer n found nothing wrong.

I do find this problem occurs randomly, but used to occur more when low on fuel. However my car has never run rough or anything.

Thanks for all the replies guys, It's abit annoying just because i actually only replaced the coilpacks afew weeks ago. I shoulda gotten the splitfires

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
