Just recently took out the "guide" thats just sitting on the chain because it broke. Now another problem.....well, it was like that the same time my "guide" broke.
THe car hesitates at all RPMs. I dont feel the "push" anymore. Everytime i push the gas pedal, the engine just makes noise and the car's not going as fast as before. Also, the engine excessively shakes "sideways".
Im not a mechanic. I'm used to having brand new cars and I"m not used to this maintenance. I bought this car so that I can learn....help me out PLEASE:help :help :help :help
what the hell is wrong with my car(again)?
Injectors.
Injectors was the problem. One of them aint working....replaced them....voila! No more shaking, power is back:)
Now the only thing I need to get rid off is the "click click" coming from the chain. As for the chain guide, I was told by Nissan Techs from different places that its not necessary to replace them. If it brakes, toss it...no replacements.

LOL! Same thing happened with mine on the test drive. Just an unhooked harness though. All 4 cylinders running makes a big difference!BomexS13 wrote:Injectors.

maybe you should have spent your $$ on an FSM, tools, etc if you want to start working on your own car. Seems like you blew a ton of money on cosmetic BS when your car had serious problems otherwise. Take it to a professional or get some more experience, it's impossible to correctly diagnose with such newbie information. It could be any number of things, none of which it seems like you have the ability to test.

FYI before you call it "cosmetic BS", I got the car already like that from my close friend really cheap. The only cosmetic mods I bought was my bumper signal lights.
I figure Id post here to learn something, but instead I got a BS post like yours:rolleyez

Ain't nothing a little time won't cure! You learn by doing, and the more you do, the more you learn. If you don't have the right tools for a job, buy them, borrow them, rent them, but get them! And learn how to use the properly. If you don't have the knowledge for a job, get it! (ask here, search here, buy a book, etc.). You'll be amazed at how quick you pick stuff up when you do the work.
I'm brand new here myself, but nowhere near new to hopping up cars (I turn 41 this year! LOL!). We all had to start somewhere and sometimes that's easy to forget when you see the same old questions posted numerous times. You think it's bad here, check out neons.org!
Best bet is to try searching (I think they call it the Red Button!) for specifics to your problems. Put in key words and you'll get a ton of results.
And don't let one post get to you!

I can't hope to provide any clear, concise answer without better information. If people expect an answer they need to get at least better rudimentary knowledge that I will not walk them through. If you go to a REAL forum they won't even dignify something like that with a response, it's a total shot in the dark without a lot more information. We also get a lot of misinformation from half-wits that think they know something and therefore post it. There are a very few of us capable of diagnosing with about 90% accuracy given correct information. I'm tired of misinformation, newbies thinking that they know how to diagnose somethign based on very minimal knowledge, etc.

what are you trying to answer? he solved his problem the same day he posted the question. your unnecessary response came 2 days later. did you even bother to read through the entire thread?
If you go to a REAL forum they won't even dignify something like that with a response...
"REAL" forum? this site has more newcomers register and stay than just about any other nissan site out there. why? the biggest reason is how people are treated when they get here. if a forum is "REAL" because it treats it's newcomers like crap, then i'm glad to be a part of this fake one.
i've warned you about your attitude in the past. i've told you before and i'll say it one last time, if you can't contribute, then don't post. how hard is that?
if you don't like it here...
