Engine power loss
Nissan Frontier 2000 187000 miles
I have a doubt with my Frontier: when starting in first gear, the van works perfectly well but, when revolutions reach 4500 per minute and making a fast change to second gear and pressing the accelerator, it does not respond as it should. It feels as if it lost power and choked. I've done its complete tuning and I only use 92 octanes fuel. There is no oil nor liquid leakage in the engine and the transmission has no escapes either.
Starting
Nissan Frontier 2010 120000 miles
Hi everyone, this is my situation: due to temperature problems, the cylinder head gasket was changed. Once assembled back, it wouldn't start. The starting motor turns but he engine won't start, what means, it has no injection. The camshaft sensor has been checked and it sends the right pulsations, just as the crankshaft sensor, but the computer won't give pulse to the injectors. That is the one and huge problem. What might have happened? May have some anti-crash switch been activated? I hope someone can help me. Thanks! It would be really helpful if anyone had the injection system's diagram of the Nissan Frontier/Navara/pickup, depending on your country.

Muriel, there is a sensor which sends the signal to the injectors for its injection. It is rather usual that this sensor breaks or stops working.
I personally believe it is the distributor's coil.
CommentAcceleration failure and chokes
Nissan Frontier 2006 165937 miles
I own a Frontier diesel 2006 and the failure it has is that it takes long to start working. I have to try for at least four times and, once it starts, I want to speed up but it won't accelerate. It chokes and only reaches 1100 rpm, not more. I've already changed the crankshaft's sensor, potentiometer, fuel relevator, fuel filters and the temperature sensor but it is still the same. What else might it be?

Hi buddy, I have a Nissan Frontier diessel 3.2 engine zd30 and some time ago I had your same problem. The failure was in the injection pump's switch or connector, which was isolated. As you might see the solution was finally an easy one. You should as well check the spark plugs. Hope my comments help you!
CommentOil leakage
Nissan Frontier 2013 38533 miles
My Nissan frontier diesel is leaking huge amounts of oil to the radiator and the system in general. I was told it might be the oil cooler, hoses were checked but the leaking problem is still there, and it has some worrying overheatings.

Check the oil cooler, located on the right side of the engine. You will see it aluminium lid.
Buddy, your failure is in the cylinder head gasket.
CommentCheck engine
Nissan Frontier 2007 150000 miles
I have an engine YD25 turbo diesel and, when driving, the Check engine turns on. When turning the car off, it logically disappears but, as I start the engine again, it appears once more. Please help me.

The fuel filters carry a sensor that indicates that there is water in the filters. You should drain such water through the bottom part of the secondary filter and, if the light still turns on, try changing that filter.

It might be a sensors failure that is causing your starting problem.
