Check on passenger side of engine below a maze of railings---it is attached to the breather/seperator. Look directly in line with the N in Nissan towards the firewall. Inaccessible from above. Must be removed from below. You can barely see it from above, peeping and taunting you!!! I am going to evaluate the situation from below on my '95 Altima tomorrow and see ... Read More...

It's the distributor! You need to replace the stock Nissan distributor with a Dorman distributor. I own a 1994 Altima (318,000 miles on it) - my daily driver, a 1998 Altima (78,000 - wife's), and a 1994 240SX (play drifter). The distributor on your car has a well known flaw - at low speeds it heats up and causes an oil seal to leak. Right now yours has a small leak. Oil ... Read More...

You ask many questions about what the problem could be, but the only way to find out is with proper diagnosis, not just guessing. How many miles on this engine? First, what was the problem with the fuel injectors and what was done about it? Fuel injectors ar relatively trouble free. Sometimes they can clog or burn out. If you have bad ones, you simply replace them ... Read More...

1994 Nissan Altima

I have a nissan altima. We first had some problems with the injectors. Than I was driving the car and it just died. Than it wouldnt start. I am wondering could it be the distrubitor. Or I also was told that it could be the timing chains. We want to get the car fixed but we are afraid that if it is the timing chains the valves could be bent. Does anyone have any ideas?

Long Term Reliability of Nissan Altima

Just a little testimony to Nissan... We're looking to trade our Infiniti G20 (Nissan Primera to the rest of the world) for a new Altima. The 1994 G20 has 249,000 miles, with NO engine issues ever (other than one fouled injector at 110k). Never needed a CV joint or axle. Still blows ice-cold A/C. Interior w/black leather is immaculate. Drives & steers tight & sharp. ... Read More...

If your car uses a chain like most nissan vehicles, it shouldn't slip. However, with almost 300k miles on it, who knows. thats a lot of miles. Read More...

1994 Nissan Altima timing?

Written by: raydanley on Apr 04, 2007 11:15 AM

I have a 1994 Nissan Altima - automatic. I purchased it brand new with 6.5 miles on it. It now has over 298,000 miles on it. I keep up with the maintenance and change the oil about every 2,000 miles with Valvoline 5w30. So far it's been a great car with very few problems. Recently it became hard to start. I did a full tune up on it replacing the original spark plugs, wires, ... Read More...

Midsize Sedans Comparison Thread

Re: NIssan Altima Tops Consumer Reports [lilengineerboy]

I actually much prefer the 1990-1993 Accord to the 1994-199(6 or 7?) in every way. The handling was the best ever (90-93). In 94 they had to make the car larger, and heavier, to accomodate the newly available V6 engine. In 92 the Accord was too small for a V6, now it seems to be too large for the I4 IMO. Read More...

I actually much prefer the 1990-1993 Accord to the 1994-199(6 or 7?) in every way. I have spent a lot of time with both and in terms of driving dynamics, visibility, comfort, etc I prefer the earlier version. The 94-97 felt like a blob. I looked at the 98-'02 version before a purchase in 1998/9 and I ended up with something that better met my needs/wants. In 2005 we ... Read More...
