Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1996 Nissan 200SX auto mileage: 97,000. Hi!
I think I'm having transmission problems. I drive
a Nissan 200SX automatic, each time I get on the freeway
and drive 70 mph, the rpm will be about 3000. When
I go over 70 mph, the rpms will go over 3000 and then
the battery and brake lights will come on (flashing).
I can also duplicate this when driving at lower speeds
in city traffics, when I press on the gas, the rpms will
rev above 3000 to 4000, and then the battery and brake
lights will start flashing, until the rpms go down below
3000. I think it's having difficulty finding the
right gear? I'm just confused by the flashing
battery and brake lights and the rpms. I'm not a
car expert, as you can tell. Any help would be
appreciated!
Answer:
Check the alternator to make sure it is functioning
properly, especially at the rpm range where you
experienced the problem.
Question:
1996 Nissan 200SX mileage: 140,000. I am in
the process of changing the timing belt. The
manual I am using if very vague about aligning the
camshaft pulley. There are two index dots and one
index arrow. Which one do I use to align the belt
mark to the cam pulley?
Answer:
A Mitchell or Chilton auto repair manual will have
diagrams showing timing belt marks. The manuals
also give step-by-step instructions.

Question:
1996 Nissan 200SX mileage: 130,000. My wife's
car decided not to start this AM. We've never had
any mechanical problems before. The engine is
turning over ok, and it seems like it wants to catch,
but nothing. I've let the car sit just in case the
engine was flooded. Went back and tried about 2
hours later, but the same. Turns over, and wants
to catch, but nothing. I don't want to keep trying
in case the battery dies. Any suggestions?
Answer: First check for fuel pressure.
The fuel pump may have failed. If okay, check for
spark at the spark plugs. Next, scan PCM
(computer) for fault or error codes.
