Starts but does not accelerate

Nissan Almera 2007  138000 miles
Good afternoon, I have a Nissan Almera 2007, which starts but does not accelerate. The first failure that appeared and was detected by the scanner was a crankshaft sensor damage. It was replaced together with a coil that was failing too. The car worked properly for some days, until the engine started vibrating and losing power. This got worse with time and, today, it does not accelerate nor work properly any longer. I've checked the rear stop lights and they are working. When changing the gear to reverse the car, it usually stalls.

According to my mechanic, the car stalls either when the reverse lights are failing or when there is a damaged sensor in the reverse box. I had your same problem and, in my case, it was a failure in the reverse lights.

Power loss when accelerating

Nissan Almera 2005  115000 miles
My car does not accelerate, it loses power instead. It has been checked with three different scanners but no failure was indicated. I've checked the fuel pressure and it is 48 pounds. I've changed the positions of the camshaft and crankshaft sensors as they are the same, I've cleaned the injectors, the throttle body, the MAF sensor, but the car is still the same. Has anyone had this problem? I have my doubts with the VVT valve as, if it fails, it is not detected by the ECU and it affects the engine time and performance.

Hi, if you are still with the problem, check that the 3 of the stop lights are working, as the car loses power if one of them fails. Hope it helps and good luck.
jmac from United Kingdom 2 years ago
I spent a whole day trying to find this fault and it turned out to be both brake light bulbs. Never in my 35 years as a technician have i seen this problem without a fault code. Massive Thanks to you.

I've changed the MAF sensor for a Sentra one and the power loss problem was solved. You can try replacing yours with a Sentra or an Altima sensor, good luck.

Coil failure

Nissan Almera 2002  2000 miles
Even though the four coils are working, coil number 1 has no spark. I was told this has to do with a computer failure. The strange thing is that sometimes it works and others it does not. I've already changed all the coils and only one of them does not spark. What can it be?

Manmanemanr from other a year ago
Cheers mate...one of the posible cause is the ecu not sending signal to the coil...just check the pin for signal at the coil socket harnes side with test light you will found no ground wether power on or off...you can compare to the other 3 socket to double confirm

Starting failure SolvedSolved

Nissan Almera 2005  140000 miles
When arriving at any destination and turning off the car, it is not possible to start the engine again immediately. When this failure first appeared, I needed to wait for about an hour in order to start it again, or else it wouldn't respond. Now, the failure is even worse, and more time needs to be waited until the car starts working again. It feels as if the car were blocked; I've taken it to the alarm service, mechanics, but no one has been able to solve my problem.

Check the crankshaft sensor and scan your vehicle to see the codes provided.
Val02 from United States 9 years ago
If it is the alarm that is failing, that occurred to me and the whole alarm system needed to be disconnected. After doing so, the car never failed again.
ELVIE from United States 9 years ago
Thanks for all your comments. Finally, the crankshaft sensor was replaced and the failure disappeared. I'm so thankful for your help.

Nissan Almera 2015 1.6 petrol sedan 76000 miles
When I press the brake pedal there is a loud audible noise and if I use the left indicator ant the same time the noise becomes much louder. If I use the left indicator without touching the brake pedal then the radio light flashes with the indicator. The indicator light on the left rear also just stays on. I've creared the DTC several times to cancel the engine management light but as soon as I drive again and use the brake pedal, the engine management light comes on again.

NATS error code

Nissan Almera 2004  136000 miles
The immobilizer light is turned on, which indicates there is a failure in the NATS or immobilizer system. The vehicle occasionally stalls and starts without a problem. But there are some other occasions, which have been more frequent lately, in which the engine does not start working again after it stalls.

Each time the fuse is changed and I drive again no problem until it happens again. The car has been in the garage various times. Spark Plugs were changed, a thorough check of wiring, bits clean up and replaced and yesterday all 4 coils were replaced. Today it happened again.

Check that the spark plugs, injectors, collector and throttle body valve are all working properly. If the problem persists, change the battery of the key, close the doors and open them, and only then start the engine. Lastly, it might be the fuel pump that is failing, the top dead centre sensor or even the oxygen sensor.
