04 1.8auto - lacking power. - adcjen
Hi

I have had my car check by two garagers one was my local garage and one was Nissan dealer.

My car a few days ago is laking in power almost like I am towing something.

It pulls ok from 0.30 ish ok but affter that when you start to notices the power loss,on a long stright road I can get the car to up around 65-75 but thats it then the car keeps changing gear as its strugling to accelerate.

the main dealer could not find a fault with the car aftter they plug it into there computers but did a reset on the ECU and also reset it to re-learn mode?

I have no warning lights on the dash and been told its posible autobox problem but seems abit unlikely at 38K and on a 04 plate car.

Also been told could be the mass air sensor.

Is there any body around who has had this problem or is there an expert on nissan as i dont wont to be changing parts for the sake of changing them.

also to add the gear box seems fine changeing gears revs little bit high but think thats down to the lack of power when trying to accelerate

also revs fine in neutral


slt
