What's Wrong With My Car?? (WITH VIDEOS)

**KrisKros** · July 5th, 2007 01:00 PM

I also posted this at NissanBayan, and I'm posting it here also to get other ideas.

Here's the problem. With the a/c running, and I'm driving, I come to a stop, as I'm ready to Go again, sometimes the car dies/stalls. Then when I try to start back up, it takes about 10minutes to start up again.

I was in Tagaytay yesterday, and when I was going to make a U-Turn from the side of the road, as I was about to turn my car stalled again. Then it wouldn't start, I had to wait about 10-15minutes. THen it started up again. When I got home, I rested, then I went outside again after about an hour, then I tried to start the car, and it wouldn't start again! So I made a video.

Here's a vid showing the car when it won't start. Notice when I turn the key, it won't even go pass 500 when it's cranking.

Here's a vid of the car starting (22 secs into the video)

If you have any ideas, or thoughts of why this is happening?
I hope to get an idea before the mechanic starts telling me to replace this and that n this n that

. I hope the videos help..sorry for the poor quality.

Car is 92 Nissan Sentra
Automatic Transmission
GA16De engine

Hello KrisKros,
Pay attention to the dashboard when you start the car.Although blurry, I noticed that there are a few "ícons" lighted up on the right side of the dash after you've started the car. they should be off by then. these may be trouble codes that you will need to decipher (with the help of a manual) to find out or localize the problem. check your fuel pump/ idle up as this may cause stalling, specially when you're using the ac which will require more power to your engine.

Ahh on the right side. It's the emergency brake light, and battery light. The battery light has always been like that, same with my speedometer and odometer. They all stopped working a while back now.

i am not really an expert in this field. i don't know that much about cars. i have a nissa march automatic from japan which is converted from RHD to LHD. it's a surplus car that i got from Norkis in Mandaluyong. i had the same problem with my car 2 months after a got it. this is what they did: they changed that thing that filters the air that mixes with the fuel.

be careful when you are starting the car and stepping on the gas. malulunod yung car mo at talagang hindi na mag-start yan. happened to me.
