I would love to take it to a Nissan dealer but the closest is nearly 100 miles. I live in a fairly rural area and have about zero confidence in the local mechanics. Nearly everyone is strictly obdII and their diagnostic methods are nearly all computer based, and I don't feel like paying $50/hr for that. I have asked a friend who is a mechanic at the local ford dealership to come and take a look, but I'm not expecting much. Most of the parts were installed due to mileage and maintenance rather than necessity, but they were also replaced in order down a checklist from my chiltons manual. Silly to replace the entire engine for a "ghost," I don't have nearly that much invested. I am considering an sr swap, but don't have time or finances for that just yet. The only code I'm getting is for the oxygen sensor, but it was the very first thing I replaced after the trouble started. I suspect the unburnt fuel is fouling the signal. I have probably replaced a couple things that were functioning correctly, but some of them, probably most, were due for replacement. The alternator was replaced because it was no longer charging. Besides, if you look at the symptoms, any of the parts I replaced could have been the culprit. I will accept defeat if my friend and I cannot make an improvement, and make the haul to the dealership.
