i am trying to find out if anyone knows what other models brakes will work on a 2000 gxe. i need (used) calipers (and a rotor), because the car has 220,000 miles on it, and i just want to keep it going for now. i know where there are plenty of altimas, (which look exactly alike) but for some reason the sentras don't make it to this junkyard. i don't want to waste money on trying the altimas, only to find out something is different. if anyone can help me with what brakes will work, i am forever grateful! ]]> Sentra jacjm http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/sentra/13337-2000-gxe-brakes.html http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/sentra/13324-02-sentra-electrical-problems-very-confused.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:05:47 GMT Hey all.I have a 2002 sentra 4cyl 5 spd.

I have for about 2 wks had these strange problems. When the car runs its great, but 4 times now the car wont start and acts as if it has no battery. Ill pull into a parking spot and turn off, then try to restart and get nothing. A few attempts later it will start but all the radio memory is gone. When it doesnt start it has absolutely no power. There is a slight smell in the cab sometimes like something is burning also. I used to have a 93 talon and a cap in the computer went bad and it smelled in the cab also. I am thinking maybe the ecm needs replaced but not sure. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

i attempted to do the front pads on a 2000 sentra gxe, and it's easy enough to work on. i have some important questions, tho, (i've done too many disc pad r and r's to count) the last person to work on it failed to put in the pad return springs, and i have no clue how nissan expects them to go back in! also, i assume the caliper is supposed to be a sliding/floating type? this one doesn't move AT ALL! i will be getting some used calipers from my local junkyard that do slide, (i hope) because the car has 219,000 miles on it, and i just need to keep it going for now. does anyone know if other years/makes will fit this GXE? the altimas look exactly the same, but i didn't measure anything. ANY cross-references will be greatly appreciated, because the yard i deal with didn't have any newer (2000-up) sentras. also, while i was there, NONE of the brakes i looked at had return springs (that i could see) THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP!! ]]> Sentra jacjm http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/sentra/13301-pad-return-springs.html http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/sentra/13290-p0171-my-nissan-sentra-2001-a.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:20:09 GMT Hi, I am having P0171 code on my nissan since last 1 month.

I am having P0171 code on my nissan since last 1 month. I erased it thrice but came back after about 20miles of driving. The current symptom is that the car has loss of power & hiccups at startup and once the engine is warm( after 5-10 mins), It runs perfectly fine. I did notice that it is running at a little higher rpm. I do need to mention here that 2 months back.. the engine light was on due to another code so the MAF was replaced. Then after 2wks.. i had P0171 & P0174 but P0174 went away after i did a couple of Gasoline Fuel Injector treatments. Now i have only P0171.

Below is the freeze frame data using OBD scanner i got from sears:
Fuel System 2 Status: Closed Loop
Calculated LOAD Value :43.14 %
Engine Coolant Temp : 172.40 °F
Short Term Fuel Trim - Bank 1 : 13.28%
Long Term Fuel Trim - Bank 1 : 38.28 %
Short Term Fuel Trim - Bank 2 : 12.50 %
Long Term Fuel Trim - Bank 2 : 38.28 %
Engine RPM : 1,850.00 rpm
Vehicle Speed Sensor : 32.31 mph

Does the Fuel Trim ratios of bank1/2 point to any specific problem?
Any help will be highly appreciated:

Hey guys, just did the pedal dance to figure out what codes my car was throwing at me, and these are what I got.

0031- Front O2 Sensor Bank 1, Circuit Low
0138- Rear O2 sensor Bank 1, Circuit High voltage
0037- Rear O2 Sensor Bank 1, Circuit Low
0455- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System, Gross Leak
1448- EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve Open

Could anyone tell me what these mean/how I can fix them?

The car has aftermarket headers and exhaust system. It has an O2 sensor in the header, But i dont think it has a second one installed, haven't had a chance to check underneath yet. And what about the EVAP system?

My question is , how would i know which one to replace,... Fuel pump or the Relay, or maybe it needs to be reprogram , called the dealer there charging me $150 to diagnose.... what is the symptoms of a fuel pump relay and the symptoms of fuel pump itself ?????
Any reply would be a great help, AND APPRECIATED.... trying to avoid replacing both if one of those two still working fine & doesnt needs to be replaced...... PLEASE HELP ...............

It will either read normal or with stop working all together but never hot. The other day the service engine light came on with a P1126 code for the thermostat. I'm still able to get heat in the car but figured I would replace the thermostat and coolant temperature sensor since I read those are the likely causes for the service engine light. Should replacing both of these parts make the temperature gauge inside the car read correctly?

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
