Engine problem

Nissan Tiida 2007  100000 miles
When the car starts it stutters and cuts out, it wil start after a few attempts and drive. A couple of times while driving all power was lost, the engine just stopped running. Also the headlights just failed one night but did come back on.

Lights coming out and on is a sign of shirt circuit. Get your car checked by an auto electrician. Otherwise the relays are not working properly.

Tea K from Pakistan 10 months ago
I had the same issue last week. I was stuck in a traffic jam. Car moved in small gears for 30-40 mins with AC turned on. And after it the car lost its power completely. I was pressing the gas pedal full but the totque wasn't moving beyond 1200 rpm. I turned the engine off and started again and then gave the race, it started working perfectly but then after a minute or so suddenly the power was cut. The same happened more than 20 times before it started working properly again.

KB Dunedin from New Zealand a year ago
Had same problem with the car suddenlylosing all power mid drive. Went 5 times to my mechanic and no solution he tested everything. Then went to another auto electrician and mechanic and they immediately diagnosed as a switch connected to the accelerator which wasn't working so wasn't 'sending' the engine the right signal. I'm not a car person at all and can't find the documentation from when it happened so sorry for the slightly vague explanation and lack of correct terms, maybe the accelerator pedal switch from what I searched but might be the wrong name. Anyway I hope that helps someone with the issue.

Engine noise

Nissan Tiida 2007  200000 miles
Good morning, hope someone can help me with my Tiida. The belts started making an annoying noise and it has not disappeared after changing them as well as the oil pump. It's been 4 months since I stopped using my car because I am worried something might get damaged. No one has been able to find the failure.

Stalls, and dies on acceleration

Nissan Tiida 2001 Nissan Tììda Hatchback  94000 miles
2005 Nissan Tiida 154000km. Engine started to cut out while driving, engine cuts out when idling at traffic lights - ñeeds restarting and on acceleration away from traffic lights car dies before normal accelerator power kicks in. Has anyone had this? Oh...and no scan fault codes !

Bruce from United States a year ago
The symptoms you described, such as the engine stalling and dying on acceleration and cutting out while driving and at traffic lights, could be caused by a variety of issues.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the fuel system. A problem with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning fuel pump, could cause the engine to run poorly and experience stalling and dying on acceleration.
Check the ignition system. A problem with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition coil, could cause the engine to run poorly and experience stalling and dying on acceleration.
Check the engine oil level. Low engine oil level can cause the engine to run poorly and experience stalling.
Check the engine timing. If the engine timing is off, it can cause the engine to run poorly and experience stalling and dying on acceleration.
Check the exhaust system. A problem with the exhaust system, such as a clogged catalytic converter, could cause the engine to run poorly and experience stalling and dying on acceleration.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.
kat27 from New Zealand a year ago
Had it scanned at auto electrician shop, he said no codes could be anything even a faulty relay ! Has been with mechanic close by and he said no fault codes too, checked some things, heard my list of possible issue areas you gave me plus MAF sensor possible issues, Crankshaft sensor issues, fuel pump or filter issue, coil issue, exhaust system issue, speed sensor fault again, and he didn't think most of these the issue he found nothing. He also said my engine was not CVT as 2005, 1.5L Gseries when I àlways thought it was ! Good if it isn't. He showed me a ticket on the transmission dip stick which told him it was not a CVT. All info. I read online says car engine is CVT?? Mechanic said this stalling and hesitating was not transmission. The oil I had changed just before issues, I informed mechanic and auto electritian - according to oil change documentation, 3L of 5w40 mineral oil was newly added after draining (had been synthetic all its life) when I see online info. Says car takes 4.2L full and should be 5w30? Auto electrician and Mechanic didn't think this difference was the issue or an issue. The one spoake plug he could easily take out he said it looked OK not needing a new set and the idle and start were fine so he didn't think issue was anything to do with spark plugs. He ran car around from cold and ran car until it got hot but no faulting. Ran it hot even though I said it was an issue when cold?? Annoyed there has been no diagnosis, so no fix. Will have to continue driving it but now it's unreliable waiting for the next faulting and as our driving is always 20 - 40 km travel it means we might Breakdown away from home again ! I read somewhere that if coolant hasn't been changed for sometime ( still green but somewhat darker than new)it could have metal fillings in it and interfering with the electrics so I thought I would get that changed around $94. No further forward, upsetting. If only there was a fault code !

Was this switch a speed sensor??? I have had the two speed sensors replaced. Thanks for your reply anyway, I will definitely ask an auto electrician next time if it could be a switch related to the accelerator, could narrow his search, much thx.
KB Dunedin from New Zealand a year ago
@kat27I know those are located near the wheels so don't think so. I have a feeling this had 'switch' in the name. Glad your issue was sorted. As per my post above my original mechanic had a hard time diagnosing and the scan they ran showed up nothing rather unhelpfully. The second mechanic I went to had seen the same issue in another Tiida a few weeks prior so was able to diagnose and fix it immediately.

Could be that you need the throttle body relearn procedure. I did the same on my car and the revs are very high in park and neutral but seem okay in drive and reverse. Nissan has a manual throttle body relearn procedure you can try or take it to a mechanic with an expensive scan tool. Should take the whole of 10 mins

Starting failures

Nissan Tiida 2009  85000 miles
I really do not understand how a vehicle with 50000 miles has starting problems. At the beginning, the engine was started only with three pistons, as the other one was not working. Later, the engine started working irregularly, with an annoying jingle and a poor compression. It is only after a few blocks that the engines stabilizes and recovers it normal compression and acceleration. I took the car to the agency, where the tank and injectors were cleaned and the fuel pump pressure, spark plugs and the battery were checked but they were alright. The vehicle was scanned but no failure was indica… Read complete

Water noise

Nissan Tiida 2012  30000 miles
Something quite strange is happening to my Tiida. When starting the engine for the first time in the day, a noise similar to a blade is heard coming from the engine and then, when I sit on the driver's seat, water draining is heard somewhere as well, even though there is no water on the floor. It is the first time something like this happens to me, so I have no idea what might be wrong. The fan has been replaced after 6000 miles.

sis86 from United States 8 years ago
There must be a water or coolant leakage somewhere in the cooling system. The noise is made because the water level is below the recommended range. So, when starting the engine, specially when cold, as there is not enough water or coolant, the water pump turns and a noise of water running through the tubes is produced.
Simon from Ireland 7 years ago
The noise that you hear from the engine is from the climatic compresor clutch, and the liquid sound is because you don't have enough refrigerator inside. Lease try with the AC off, to see if you still hear this noise. In order to fix this, try to refill the refrigerator and if you still have issue, check the AC comptessor.
