I have a 2001 Altime (185,000 milage). I am on a long road trip now (1,000 miles). I found out that my car is consuming oil. The oil level was low and the rear bumper where muffler is was kind of black. Now, the engine is knoking especially when I start it and give a little gas.

I never had any issues before. I always do the maintainance on time. Before my trip, I changed the spark plugs and wires, all belts, and right axel. I took it to a mechanic and he said something was wrong inside the engine. Please advise. Thank you.

I've already decided on the tire, its the continental extreme contact DW. I'm trying to decide what size to go with...

The stock size on an 18x8 SE-R wheel is 225/45/18. This tire is listed for a 7-8.5" wheel, has a 8.9" section width, and has a 26" O.D. (overall diameter) list price: $158 each

I'm also considering these sizes in the same tire..

235/45/18. Listed for a 7.5-9" wheel, has a 9.3" section width, and a 26.3" O.D. This tire is $175

Also considering a 245/40/18. Listed for a 8-9.5" wheel, has a 9.8" section width, and a 25.7" O.D. This tire is $188

I'm not sure how much the .3" height difference will change the speedo/odometer readings, but I'm pretty sure that the difference i width will improve traction some, especially with the 245 tire option.

I'm just curious to see whether you guys think it'd be smart to uprage tire size a bit to improve traction.

It is a 1996 Altima 5pd

I was kind of reluctant to buy this somewhat, as it had some issues.

What am curious about is a few mechanical issues I am having.

There is a CEL: One for IAC and one for knock sensor.


Now I don't know if this is true, but the own described to me why the IAC was going off.

He said that in the accident that the altima received, got the air box really good. So the IAC got damaged he claimed, I can see the box is pretty f'ed up, I don't know where the IAC is located on a altima though.


The other CEL was the knock sensor, now this one I am more worried about, because there is a clicking sound:

When the vehicle warms up, it has a mediocre loudness clicking sound at the timing chain/pulley side of the engine. I didn't have anyone there to help me diagnose it on the spot, so I called a friend to have him listen to it. He claimed that if the tensioner is getting deteriorated or already is that it will make that clicking noise when the oil gets thin from warming up.

Does anyone else agree with this? ]]> The First Generation Challenger http://www.altimaforums.net/showthread.php?t=5806 New to Nissan http://www.altimaforums.net/showthread.php?t=5805&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:57:48 GMT I took a leap of faith on purchased a 1996 Altima 5spd.

It had a lot wrong with it; body damage, weird clicking noise when car warmed up(timing chain tensioner I think), rust, needs tires, some sensors are bad.

I got it for 750 so I didn't think it was too bad for a running vehicle.

Pre CAT falling apart and releasing material into engine.

Butterfly screws falling into engine.

Crank posistion sensor

Cam Posistion sensor


I think the CAM and the CRANK sensors are fine but what are the symptoms of when 1 or both are failing? Can these 2 cause permanent engine damage if they do go bad?



Is it safe to say that if the Pre CAT and the Butterfly screws didn't go bad by now that it's okay not to mess with it? Or should I just grab a aftermarket exhaust piece to do away with the Pre CAT and check the butterfly screws and loctite them?

When I opened the engine bay for the first time I heard a slight whistling sound coming from the top of the engine and it has a hard plastic "nipple" to fit a hose on there. Is there supposed to be a hose going from my aircleaner part(16576P) fitting to the hard plastic fitting on top on the engine?

Type in...
"165 Air Cleaner 2002 altima" in GOOGLE
It should be the top first listing and the company is CourtesyParts.
This will give you a schematic to help you understand what I mean.

Im getting part 16576P at a local dealer.

But I cant find the hose that I think goes there.


Also what is the function of the hose going from the air intake to the top of the engine area? What damage can this do to my car with the hose missing and the air intake "boot" having a exposed hole in it?
