Help with a Nissan Sentra '98

[sanctuarius]

help naman po.

my sentra 98 has been submerged during Ondoy. napaayos ko naman sya through a series of mechanics and interior detailers. i had the carburetor cleaned and the assembly replaced. bago rin auxillary and radiator fans (motor and blades).

okay naman na sya pero parang kulang ang power in first and second gear. and nagchochoke sya pag start up lang. naka-tatlong tune up and change oil na rin ako since Ondoy. not sure what to do anymore.

dinadala ko sa mga talyer pero they can't find no fault naman kasi gumaganda na takbo nya pag mainit na yung engine.

main problem ko is yung choking nya in lower gears plus yung minimum power nya. any ideas mga car gurus? TIA

Hello sir!

Sir, pareho po tayo ng problem sa Nissan ko EX Saloon 98 model din, sa umpisa palyado pero kapag uminit na gumaganda naman ang takbo, nagchochoke lagi sa lower gears, maraming talyer narin akong napagdalhan pero di rin nila makita problem, ang pinapayo sa akin ay palitan ung buong carburador ko eh kaso gusto kong makasigurado kung yun nga po ang solusyon.

Help naman ho!

Thanks.

You might want to determine if the gasoline you are using is ethanol-free type. Most gasolines being sold today are E10 gasoline (10% ethanol mixed into gasoline).

Carb engines and E10 gasoline do not mix.

actually nahaluan ata sya ng e10 when i gassed up in Total... san ba pwede magpadrain ng tank? pwede ba to sa shell before i fill up?
