I experience alot of vibration and usually after several minutes of idle, the RPMS will drop from 750 to almost 500, as though the engine came under a load. Sometimes a stall will occur. In addition, the SES light has been coming on intermittently on for the past couple of years. Don't remember the exact code but the last time I read it it, it dealt with the Catalytic Converter Efficiency falling below a certain threshold.

I replaced the O2 sensor, Idle control valve, air filter, cleaned the throttle body assembly and replaced the gasket. The problem still exists.

I got P 0420 code for my Service Engine soon light diagnositcs.

I am told by Nissan dealer that I need to replace Catalytic Converter, esitmation is $1000.

At same time, I see lots of Catalytic Converters online with much less price.

How do I find out exact part number to order either online or through stores like NAPA or Autozone?

Dealer will not give me part number. If I google, I see two converters - rear and front. Confused.

Please help. ]]> Altima ramboji http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/altima/13311-p0420-code-2001-nissan-altima-catalytic-converter-help-part-number.html http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/altima/13305-altima-sensor-problems-ipdm.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:30:17 GMT I have a 2005 altima and have had service3 times for stauling issues.

I used my brother in laws scanner (for ford/gmc/chrysler/jeep vehicles only up to year 2000) and it only gave me a p0128 code, which i believe is for a thermostat issue. My questions is whether this code also applies to the ecl sensor as well, or does it just apply to the thermostat issue? Also, how much does it cost for a new thermostat?

My last thread was about the catalytic converter possibly being bad, then I read some of the postings here on this site and one mentioned an 80000 mile warranty?

I am the second owner. Would this warranty still apply to me. My car is a 2001 with only 51500 miles on it.

Although Autozone's machine says it could be that or an O2 sensor. Autozone also stated the machine read the car as running lean. I have checked my mileage and see no change over some 2 years.

Which do I believe? The cost is significant difference.

I my opinion the car is running as well as ever. It just passed an emission sticker test for car tags two months prior to the "check engine soon" light coming on.

And finally, if it does need a Cat. Conv. then will an after market device work as well as a Nissan part. That is to say, in two years will it pass the emisson test with an Aftermarket unit.
Need your advice.

When I turn the car on it will only stay running for a few seconds and then die. It acts like it wants to keep running but doesn't. If I press down on the gas it dies IMMEDIATELY. I just tried replacing the fuel pump because I had several people tell me that is most likely the problem. Well I just wasted $178 on the fuel pump and it's still doing the same thing. My engine light has been on for quite some time. Nissan said I needed to replace my Camshaft Sensor and my Crank Positioning Sensor, which I did both. I'm still getting a Crank Positioning Sensor Circuit Board error. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. But it sounds fuel related, which is why I went ahead and tried the fuel pump.
Any suggestions???

Whenever you turn the wheel, it makes a grinding noise. After the car was repaired, the steering wheel still makes a noise and the repair shop said that it was due to the power steering reservoir leaking.

I also noticed a couple of days back that the oil was leaking, it might have been the power steering fluid.

Do you know how much it will cost to replace the power steering reservoir (both labor and parts)? Also, is this the actual solution or could it be something else? Is there a test I can do to check whether it's the power steering fluid? Maybe temporarily pour some fluid to see if it will alleviate the problem?

Right now, due to the cold temperature, sometimes the wheel becomes very hard to turn. ]]> Altima mwok http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/altima/13262-steering-wheel-noise.html http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/altima/13250-egr-valve-problem-check-engine-light.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:05:14 GMT Hi I have a check engine light on my 2000 Nissan Altima GXE.

I have a check engine light on my 2000 Nissan Altima GXE. When I took it to a shop they said it shows error code something like P400 or P401. They said itz due to the EGR valve and EGR thermostat. When I looked at some of the comments from various people it might not be the problem with EGR valve or thermostat itz mostly due to the clogging of EGR port under the throttle body. They suggest to clean the port with some solution.
If any one has pictures or diagrams or steps to how to locate this EGR port that would help me lot to finish this one.
I really appreciate for any help.
