hows everyone doing . I own a 1995 j30 77,000 miles and i have a few questions. when i start my car the the ATS light will flash about 5 times. today I was driving my car and it started feeling funny when i hit second gear. then the check engine light came on. It felt like my car lost some power. It had trouble switching gears. I recently had my oil changed and my transmission fluid changed. but i didnt get my transmission pan dropped. could that be the problem? I also had to replace the old TPS with a new one. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

Was the last major service done on schedule? Did it include flushing all the fluids? That's why it is recommended on a previously owned vehicle to replace every fluid so a known base condition for them is established. Posting a maintenance history would be helpful.

ABS flashing may be a code, but I don't know. Others with J30 knowledge will respond soon. You might try a search or two to review common maintenance procedures. Eswift, VimyJ, and Carlos_Knology are J owners with a deeper understanding of the vehicle.

Welcome to the board! And happy reading.

Submit the VIN to your local Infiniti dealer or Infiniti Customer Relations (information at Infiniti website) to get a service history performed at Infiniti dealers. AT MIL may be a failed turbine sensor? Don't know. Having a consult check at an Infiniti or Nissan dealer may help a lot.

One should never purchase an automobile without knowing it's service history.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45

It could also be solenoids, temp sensor, etc.....

Welcome to NICO.... I wish I could help more...... Email me, and I'll look in the J30 service manual for you (or give you sections you need).....

Welcome to the club.

I'd get the filter changed. A clogged filter could be the problem and it is routine maintenance that should be done in any case. There might be other problems but that is a good place to start.

Do you have the mini service manual from the trunk. I believe there are tests you can do to find trouble codes.
