Please help! It's not knock sensor or crank sensor
I'll try to not be long winded but I want to share as much as I can because I really want to save my 2000 Xterra 6c. My xterra has a 171k and always had proper maintenance. She has never had a problem until a few weeks ago. I had noticed a leak and checked the oil. About 1/2qt low. I took her to the shop to find that the valve cover gasket had failed. I had them replaced and a few other gaskets. She seemed to run fine for about 1/2 a day. Then She stalled, and ran rough with little power. I took her back to the mechanic and he said the codes said knock sensor and crank sensor. They were going to start with the crank sensor. Well....several days later...the crank sensor, knock sensor and plugs have been changed and the same thing. I love this car and can't believe it when from running great with a little oil leak to becoming an over night lemon. I just can't afford to spend much more trying to get it to run, when I might need that $ for a down payment! Am I missing something? I read another post that said cap and rotor, but I didn't think the Xterra had one (I'm only dangerously knowledgeable). Please help! I really need to decide what to do ASAP. And thanks in advance.
