Engine Light Prob!

[stu02_m35]

A few weeks back the old stag was running a bit rough and the engine light came on... I thought I got some bad fuel so I got some fuel treatment and injector cleaner and disconnected the battery for 24 and it came good.

It only seems to be an issue as the motor warms up then after that she runs ok but the engine light remains on.... Could it be the plugs and if so any1 know the replacement number.

Cheers.

Std coils? If they are get some yellow jacket or slitfire replacements and new plugs. Part numbers above in the "part number" sticky

Its an m35. Don't think they take the same coils.

Do some searching on here to work out how to get the fault code out. once you have this it should be easy to find the problem.

[stu02_m35]

Cheers, do you know what the damage on the coils are?

It is unlikely that the coils are at fault.

AS mentioned above... get the fault code and then you won't have to speculate.

[BigBoyDan]

After 10-15 years they seem to fail. Not usually any visible signs. On rereading your post it maybe something else

If I was to take a guess it sounds like your Bank1 or Bank2 sensor is on its way out.

[bigkevracer]

Code will tell you which one. One of mine had to be replaced before I picked up the car, so its reasonably common.

Any1 know a tuner in Melbourne that can help me out with the fault code?

If you are able to drive over Dandenong way I can look at it. I have spare coils too if you need one.

Also, any Nissan dealership can pull any/all codes for you via their Consult.

what cam said is true...u can go to a nissan service/dealer but be ready to part with some money...if i remember nissan camberwell charged me $120 for roughly an hour's work of diagnostic & repairing one of the circuits on the passenger side intake valve

the guys at the dealer were amazed on how i knew which codes came with the CEL

[stu02_m35]

Is it worth while changing all the coils? If so is EBay the best place to get a set ?

[scotty nm35]

Its a damn sight cheaper to do the fault diagnosis before you decide to change parts.

I'm in Tullamarine, and can help you with getting the engine light codes

Check the code(s) before changing bits
