SOURCE: Service engine soon, SLIP, TC OFF LIGHTS ON

I had the same indications on My 2000 Maxima but the engine was also running rough . I replaced the number 3 cylinder ignition module and all of the spark plugs and all of the error lights are back to normal I had to reset the check engine light by disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes.By the way my car has 253,000 miles on it so if you have a lot of miles on your car you might want to check all of the ignition modules so pull your spark plugs and read them they might tell you where your problem is .

SOURCE: front end noise

Hi Wild Bear

No 1....... Check your wheel nuts ! !!!!!!

If OK.....

Is the problem worse on full lock, one way ?

If so, it sounds like the drive shaft CV joint is shot.


If no....

Jack up the front, support car on axle stands.

Spin your front wheels, check the treads, and I should think, you will be able to tell the problem wheel.

Expect it might be in the brake caliper area, something loose and fouling the wheel or rim ?

Check for play too, in your front wheel bearings, by gripping the tyre, top and bottom and pulling, there should be no movement.

Give these things a try, and get back to me.

Good Luck !

A FixYa rating would be nice thank´s

John.

SOURCE: service engine soon light

The light comes on when the car's computer detects that something has an incorrect reading that is sending that incorrect reading from the sensing unit to the computer.

Here's how i would attempt to solve it. To reset an service engine soon light take the positive terminal off of the battery and let it drain all the voltage and currents in your vehicle. Like try turning on your radio and turning your car over while the positive terminal is taken off of the battery terminal.

I would say let it sit for atleast 15 minutes then put it back on and start the car back up. If the light still comes back one then you have a small problem that could be many different little things

Check to see that your gas cap isn't worn out and still keeping a seal so when you take it off you should hear air escaping from it

Could be a filter in your fuel tank.

Could be o2 sensors

The list could go on, but to make sure before you start spending a huge amounts of money go to a shop and get them to plug in a scanner into your car to see what exactly the code is.

Good luck bud!

When I start the car and with it stopped, it makes a roaring noise in the steering, even if I don't turn the steering in any direction, it makes this noise, what can it be?

find a shop with ears, we have none

just like gold it is found where you find it.
noise parked , is x100 times more safe and easy to find than only car moving nose
use card board tube on ear and walk everywhere and find it>?
first places is underhood, most time.
get the car serviced in a real shop, and be safer?

My key won't turn on a 2003 silverado

Make sure the steering wheel in not causing a bind in the key switch. If the steering wheel feels like it is stopped in one direction, try pulling lightly in the other direction. With the key in the lock, it should turn a slight amount in either direction.

My 1996 nissan sentra runs good but when i come to a stop and turn steering wheel the idle drops and stalls a little , almost shuts down . Is there a quick solution ?

sounds like your power steering idle up switch is not working. Rpms should go up when you used your steering. Rhere is a switch built into the power steering system to raise rpms when you are turning steering wheel. It looks like it has a problem.

It making a pitch noise in the engine

Does it go away or sound different when you are turning your steering wheel? If so your power steering pump is probably low on power steering fluid.

Otherwise, it could be your alternator especially if it is under full load charging your battery.

Nissan Sentra "Service Engine Soon" and uncontrolable shaking.

I had the same problem. It was the intake gasket, very common in this model. A $12.00 gasket - Nissan wanted $1000.00 to install it. I got it done for $327.00 - engine light still remains on but car drives just fine.

89 Nissan Sentra making a trrrrrr noise

sounds like a case of closing the horse after the barn ran away...Pretty good chance that you have lost an engine bearing (yes, that means it's new engine time)
To avoid this in the future regard your oil light as a "you just blew your engine" light. Check your oil at least every two weeks, and this will never happen again (not for lack of oil anyway!!!)
