Coil with oil SolvedSolved

Nissan Sentra 2001  215 miles
When starting my car, it jerks a bit. Only after several minutes it starts working properly. When I removed the coil, it had some oil in it. The spark plugs are new, not even a month old. I would like to know if there is a problem with the engine, the coil, or what can be happening. Thanks.

You should check that the four coils are working properly. I had your same problem, my car jerked quite a lot, and a coil had a one cm fissure, through which the spark escaped. I've changed it and now my car is working perfectly.

Melted coils

The engine melts the cylinder's coil number 2. If you could tell me what might be happening I will be really thankful.

Unfortunately, it is the engine's computer, as the coils' power transistor must be burnt or with a short circuit. The solution in this case is to replace the power control module or computer.

Oil light SolvedSolved

Nissan Sentra 2001  150000 miles
Good morning, I have a Sentra 2001 1.8 engine and it happened to me that, when driving on the street, it speeded up only to 40-50 mph. I tried accelerating it harder, it revolutionized but wouldn't speed up. It consumes way too much fuel and also the oil light has turned. I checked the oil, which I thought might have burnt, but it was at its right level. I kept driving and the light turned on once more. It has also occurred to me that, once revolutions went down and I accelerated, the car stalled. The engine started again but it made a terrible sound, as if the rods were about to break. I then stopped at a mall, bought some oil and added it to the car but I could not solve the problem.

It must be the oil pump, which you should change as soon as possible.

Revolutions drop and stalls

Nissan Sentra 2002  175000 miles
Hi everyone. When the car is stopped or when driving at low speed, around 10-20 mph, revolutions drop and the engine stalls. This does also happen when I change speed, for example from 3rd to 4th gear. In that little time that I stop accelerating, revolutions drop so much that the car stalls. Oil and spark plugs have been changed, injectors cleaned, filters cleaned and even the car tuned but the failure is still there. Please help me!

Have you tried cleaning both the IAC valve and the MAF?
