I have a Nissan Terrano 2011 2.5 diesel and, when driving at any gear, the check engine light turns on and the car starts jerking. I've cleaned all the sensors and even disconnected the neutral sensor, but it is still the same. Please someone help me.

I recommend you to scan your vehicle, in order to have a base for its diagnosis.

It jerks even when Im in the que, stalls when driving, stalls when the aircon is on and want to reverse especially at carparks, stalls when i want to take off especially at roundabouts and engine check light blinks on the dashboard and i have to shift the gear quickly to "N" and start the engine and take off quickly otherwise my ass is kicked by another vehicle. Can someone assist me to solve the problem.
CommentPrimer pump failure Solved
Nissan Terrano 2007 205000 miles
Hi, I have a Nissan Teerano 4x4 2007 and I cannot make the primer pump start working. I've changed filters and the primer pump itself, but the problem persists. If anyone can help me, I will be really thankful. I forgot to mention that the first problem appeared when starting the engine, as the vehicle stalled. I then applied some pressure to the fuel pump and the vehicle worked; but the following day the same happened.

If you have already discarded the one-way valve failure, the air entrance is the only other failure possible. Check the filters' joints and hoses properly; there are usually leakages there. I have heard that when not original fuel filters are installed, air tends to get into the system and the engine is then really hard to start. It can as well be that your mechanic did not grease the O-ring properly. Hope it helps.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. The problem was an air entrance through a filter.

My vehicle is a Terrano 4x2 turbo diesel and, when driving at third or fifth gear, at the moment of reaching 2500 rpm, the van jerks weirdly and the gearbox and lever move considerably. I've replaced all the filters, checked the tank and cleaned the injectors, but nothing happened. Might it be the gearbox?

Hi, the jerks in Terrano vans tend to be caused by a failure in the neutral position sensor. It is located on the upper part of the gearbox and you can easily find it by removing the gear shift cover. You disconnect it and your problem will be solved. You can as well replace it. Good luck.
After changing maf an all other sensors on engine checking turbo, i read your comment and diconeted neutral position sensor car drives perfectly. Talking about nissan terrano 3.0 113kw 2002 r20 zd20engine. One more on diagnostic was error on boost sensor but after disconnecting neutral position error was gone.

Hello, my van starts working properly but suddenly stalls, and it is really hard to start it again. I thought it was some water or air, so I cleaned the tank and changed hoses and filters, but nothing changed. It has got a turbo timer. Hope you can help me, thanks.

I recommend you to clean the injectors and its pump, and also to close the EGR.

Hi, I own a Terrano diesel and, when changing from 3rd to 4th gear, the car fails and it jerks considerably. I was told it was an ordinary failure in these vehicles; if someone can give me a hand, I would be very thankful.

The gearbox has a neutral position sensor; if this problem does not appear with any other gear, the failure must be there.
