Nissan Almera 1 6 2002 - Finding a Misfire 

The 1.6 is loved even jn American, the 2.0 sr has much more issues. 1.6 can handle Death Valley temperatures (115 Fahrenheit)

​@@xFactoryUSAdo you know if the QG16DE is an interference engine?

​@@xFactoryUSAdo you know if the QG16DE is an interference engine?

@@eeyyaakk6801 Yes, the QG series is an interference engine. Almost all Nissan engines are.

All the best ahead Nico.

Thanks for your continued support, Justin.

Can you please make a video on how to diagnose issues with drum brakes and handbreak cables. I once adjusted our Toyota Conquest drum breaks but it only lasted for a few weeks. The pads seemed fine but I suspect it could be something with the cable. I would really appreciate your input on drum brakes (tips and tricks). Dankie

I will do so, I have to do my own Toyota Yaris Rear brakes I will film it in detail. Gary

Much appreciated Mr.Gary!😎👍

Thanks for the support, Dawie

If it is not on my channel then it will only be done when I get that particular vehicle for that particular procedure.

Hi, Michael, it seems more like the thermostat not working correctly

Hi there same problem with me did you find a solution as yet? Please share

Crank angle sensor is prone to stuff up on these especially noticeable stall on idle or at low speed. There was a recall for this problem in about 2002 from my memory.

Had the same issue. The fuel injectors (FBJB100) are made by UNISIA JECS (owned by Hitachi - the same company manufacturing the coils). You have to remove the fuel injectors and clean them with laquer thinners (hook a small 9v battery to it and a small hose and purge the thinners in reverse through it). Then let it "click" a few times to clean the solenoid inside. After that it should be good again (perform an idle air volume re-learn). These are lean-burn engines (the only lean-burn engine Nissan has ever made). They work different from stoichiometry engines and are more sensitive to these type of things.

The Nissan Almera is a timing chain engine when the timing chain stretches the cam and crank sensors go out of sync and disturbs the timing of the engine, the problem you describe sounds like this.

@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 I've not seen the timing chain issue on SA models, though it depends on how regular the car was maintenanced (oil changes). Normally this only occurs on the overseas N16 model which also features Variable Valve Timing (omitted from the SA model). I've opened the front timing cover on mine (180000kms) and it was not stretched even 1mm (but I can't say it would not happen ever - I just have not seen it on SA models as of yet). It has an adjuster to compensate for stretch over time, but once it goes over 12mm the ignition timing (timing of the coil trigger) goes out.

I have done a few so it is quite possible.

It sounds like you may have fitted a sub standard crank sensor as your power loss occurred after this was replaced.

Thanks for the compliment and the support, Sesupe

It sounds like it is over fuelling.

No idea, it depends on the model you have.

If you open the hood and stand in front of it - it sits on the right hand side (assuming you face the vehicle from the front, so it's on the passenger side). You will see a black cover with a hose (not connected to anything) and a lot of wires. If you remove that cover - you can pull out the ECU.

It could be stretched timing chains. If there is a rattling sound in the engine on start-up, then the timing chains have to be replaced. When the chain stretches the cam and crank sensors receive an incorrect timing signal, therefore, causing the timing of the engine to go out and causing power problems as a consequence.

This is when the car enters "limp mode 1". Caused by a faulty MAF. The ECU reduces the rev limiter to 2500 RPM automatically as these cars are not drive-by-wire (they still have a mechanical throttle).

You must check the alternator for charging voltage, it could need repairing as a faulty alternator will not charge the battery properly and kill the battery pre-maturely, also make sure the belt that drives the alternator is fine and adjusted correctly.

If the stem is replaceable, possibly.

Check the petrol filter it sounds blocked.

Okay thank you i will let you know tomorrow

There is no external fuel filter for this car, when you change the fuel pump a filter will be attached to it.

Try cleaning the throttle body with some carb cleaner this usually helps

Yuh Could also check the air flow sensor

Agreed, Keston

It sounds like the crank or cam sensors that are faulty, Chidzikwe

it is incorporated in the throttle body unit.

It could either be faulty new coils, faulty injectors, or a compression problem such as burnt valves or broken piston rings, also when the intake manifold leaks it could also cause a misfire.

Coils

According to your description of the issue, there could be many causes, namely a failing fuel pump, fuel pump relay, computer box failure, and stretched timing chains, when the chains stretch the timing of the engine goes out as the signal to the cam and crank sensors are severely affected, I had this type of problem many times, caused by the stretch timing chain. A simple way to check is if there is a rattling noise in the engine on start up then it could very well be the main cause of your problem.

Crank angle sensor was the subject of a recall in about 2002 crank angle sensor and cam position sensor are both same so when changing one best to the other as well. Fit OEM as the chinese after market ones are not reliable.

Best to do a compression test Sim.

Have the same engine 2003 wingroad what could cause black smoke when pulling of smelling gas from the exhaust also.

A pleasure, Sesupo.

The ECU in this model is quite primitive and is a barebone version of the N16 model running in Australia and China. The ECU in this is very very basic - it would only detect a failed coil in some cases, but not always. If you un-plug the injectors it will not even throw a DTC code at all. Also, in SA these cars came out with 14" wheels, but the ECU was never updated by Nissan to correct for the tire speed (which should be 15"). So the speedometer is also registering a speed of about 11km/h higher than the actual speed. Basically what I'm getting to is this model of car was a re-badged Infiniti G20 from 1999 (with modified body panels) and because Nissan took a lot of shortcuts, I'm not surprised that the ECU shows an error code not matching with what's actually wrong.

Do not believe everything you read, all my advice is based on personal experience as a 35+ year veteran mechanic, as I learn new things every day, my knowledge is always expanded and this gives one the ability to see Bsh#t for what it is, careful out there. Knowledge is power but misinformation leads to misdirection.

btw i fixed my car with new camshaft sensor
