Hi everyone, I would like to share this useful thread if anyone got problems with over fuelling and sluggish power.
My car is GX 1.0L 1996. It was 69,000 miles in feb 2012 so today, it's 115138 miles. The difference mile is 46,138 miles. I know that I need to change most old parts into new parts. I want to keep my GX for a longer term. (My aim is to keep her in 5 years time or more) Its two years so far.
Things that I done to my GX so far:-
- changed fourth cv joints so far.
- two years old aftermarket clutch. I installed new clutch when I bought her in feb 2012.
- replaced good secondhand gearbox.
- serviced her for 6 times so I need to service her very soon when I sort these problems first.
- replaced new alternator belt. I haven't change new water pump and belt since I changed new alternator belt.
- throttle body service. ( done only one service so far)
- ign timing ( done twice times)
Recently, I sent a picture of my spark plugs so it was very sooty. (carbon/black dirts) Everyone said that I need to sort my over fuelling problems so I haven't solve these problems yet. My car is sluggish when I drive everywhere so I need to sort her out ASAP.
Last year, i went R reg place so he helped me to do throttle body service and ign timing. This throttle body got wax deleted so is it normal or not? When we done these jobs so my car was so perfect to ran. Now, it's so weird lack power and bad sluggish from gear 2 to 4.
Throttle body:
I got two spare throttle bodies which are from 1.3. One of them was reconditioned in 2008 and other one is unknown. I know everything. (Removal job, carb cleaner and soldering) The problem is that I don't know how to use multimedia to test them. Please can anyone explain to me? I need to get one so I will find one soon.
Ign timing:
Last year, R reg sorted it for me nicely so it was ok to ran for months. Recently, I went to my uncle place so he sorted it again. It was done by their hands. I think my ign timing is not good cos it's on high rev. I will need to get timing gun soon so Does anyone know how to use timing gun?
Coolant/temp sensors:
My temp gauge is not reading properly for a year now so I don't have any problem with this coolant and heating system. This needle will go on low and middle sometimes. It likes up and down. There are two different coolant sensors so I want to change both of them. Please can anyone show me links what do I need to get? I changed temp gauge before so it can't be faulty one.
O2 sensor:
This O2 sensor is still from nissan factory. I can imagine this O2 sensor got covered by carbon/black dirts so is it possible to clean it or not? How do I need to know if this is working or not? I am thinking to get new one.
Dizzy cap:
I haven't check since feb 2012 so I know it's long time. I managed to get 150 pieces halfords mechanic tool recently. If this dizzy cap got covered by white oxides so I will need to use wire brush to clean it out.
I want to stop comment for a time being now. I will need to sort out with throttle body, ign timing, coolant sensors, O2 sensor and dizzy cap.
If I miss out something that I need to change old parts into new parts then please tell me. Anything that you want to tell then please tell me.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers
