  There is also a MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor) mounted inside the air intake that I think is also associated with that problem. I would check for dust/obstructions, air filter, electrical connection,etc.

  1999-2002 Mercury Villager/Nissan Quest So the distributor was definitely a big one. Unfortunately it was never timed correctly. It sounded fine and seemed to run ok but there was always a hesitation (the timing was retarded from 15 degrees). On a long distance trip towing a pop-up trailer, our rear exhaust manifold developed a crack and we lost a lot of power. The van was always having to run at high ... Read More

The last generation, Tennessee-made model was disappointingly nothing like the 'Quest Concept' Nissan teased us with--and it generated mediocre reliability ratings from Consumer Reports. This one is gorgeous, as it follows along the same styling lines as the current and previous JDM Nissan ElGrand. I love it! I ... Read More

I've seen reports of the throttle position sensor getting intermittently flaky due to a bad ground. Maybe that's related to the flaky rear wiper.

  Our '95 Quest was bought new about the time our 3rd child was born. Here's the car's problem history, mostly resolved, which I offer in case somebody might find it interesting. Our driving history has been a combination of lots of very short urban trips (school, etc.) with heavily loaded long trips (it has reached Fairbanks and Tuscon). We are now at about 97,500 miles. Our first big problem came at ... Read More

  I got fed up waiting for some action on Nissan's part on this problem for our 1999 Quest. My wife got tired of the randomly sticking accelerator. (Definitely a safety problem.) Anyway, here's what I did successfully to clean the throttle body -- Buy a can of spray throttle body cleaner, one safe for oxygen sensors and fuel injection. Do this with the engine cold. Use a screwdriver to loosen the ... Read More

  I don't know if anybody notice this but the all-new 2004 Nissan Quest is the first European design and feel minivan ever developed in history since the Volkswagen Eurovan and Microbus. If anybody didn't notice this, Renault of France controls Nissan of Japan. Nissan of Japan does not control Renault of France. They both agree to be alliance in the two in 1999.                   Walter Chan

Is the Villager radio/cd/tape unit the same? I saw mentioned a problem with cold solder joints - any suggestions where to look?

• 1999

  Written by: corsicachevy on Feb 26, 2002 10:27:26 AM

  It is my understanding - and please, someone correct me if I'm wrong - that the 1999 Quest/Villagers suffered from many minor electrical glitches. This was the first year of the longer/wider Nissan/Mercury twins. I've seen several examples of blown fuses, melted tail light housings and power window/lock problems. The 2000 and 2001 models don't seem to suffer from these maladies. Of course, pre-1999 models will likely develop exhaust manifold problems ... Read More
