Good luck with the Mass Airflow Sensor. They do not sell them without selling you the throttle body of the injection system as well which carries a price at my local dealership of around 425 bucks....

Now that the plumber simply re-opened the cover to the septic tank that the guy that pumped it out opened, and water flowed from the opening, his determination was that the septic tank is full again...

Hi Tom,

I overheated my Nissan (1997 KA24E 4 cylinder) over a yr and a half ago. Wharped the head and trashed the head gasket. We did not send the head out to a machine shop for resurfacing before we...

I met a factory trained, 14 yr Nissan veteran, who informed me of a Tech bulletin on that yr truck. The problem stems from a place in the main wiring harness , close to the firewall, past the valve...

Very well then,. yes, I'll do that tomorrow if the JB doesn't hold. Hey, Tom, the pressure swing was going on while the washing machine was filling up, but, the short cycling was first noticed...

My neighbor says to eliminate the large outside tank, that the smaller kneehigh sized tank in the garage is all I need, that if it is leaking , not to relace it, bypass it... as I wait for the JB...

Thanks for clarifying what to do to get the bladder re-pressurized. The instructions are on a label on the side of the tank facing the wall, so with a mirror I should be able to decipher them. A bit...
