2002 Nissan Quest / Mercury Villager Power Steering Question

I’ll admit that I have the Mercury variant of this van, but the two
are almost identical.  What I have noticed is that driving around 35
mph, turning the steering wheel gently back and forth, you get a jerky
feel through the steering wheel, but only as the steering wheel is
actually turning.  You do not feel this once the wheels are at the new
direction, only as the steering wheel is moving.  You also do not get
this feeling at highway speeds, or low speed maneuvering such as
parking lots.  The problem appeared quickly, the difference of me
driving it one week, it being fine, the next week not.

The tires have been rotated / inflated / balanced in an effort to
solve the problem, but it persists.  The power steering pump was
leaking, and was replaced, but the problem started before the power
steering pump was replaced.  Belts and all of that are fine as well.
The van has a little under 25K miles, has the factory rims with
Goodyear Eagle LS tires.  It has been to two dealers a total of three
times, and the problem still exists.

Ford / Mercury is at a loss in their service departments, but since
the Quest was Nissans main minivan model, I am hoping someone familiar
with that model has more experience with it than Ford appeared to
have.

1998 Frontier 4×4 Clutch replacement cost

What is it running to replace the clutch on 1998 Frontier 4×4 4 cyl.
Only the throwout bearing is going out but might as well do the whole thing
at 65000 miles.

1998 frontier fuel low light never works

Is the fuel low indicator ever supposed to work on the 98 Frontier?

My 88 nissan truck’s did.

The Haynes repair manual schematic shows that it should never work – a
ground on one side of the light and a variable resistor tied to ground in
the fuel sending/sensor unit.

The bulb is good.

All similar Nissan models tie the fuel low indicator bulb to power and use a
switch in the fuel sending/sensor to ground it, lighting it up.

What’s up?

TIA

2001 CX4 Widget Strange Metal Bracket With Heavy Weight Near Transmission/Muffler Area Fell Off!

Evening Group,
I hope I can pick your brains on this bracket with a heavy weight that fell
off of my QX4 tonight.  At the store I noticed something metal hanging at
the front of the catalytic converter area near the passenger side of the
transmission tonight.  I thought it was nothing at first, but I heard
something metallic hitting the ground after hitting a few bumps and I went
back for a look.  Not sure where it goes or what it actually does.
Since this 5 lbs. of weight fell off will my gas mileage double???  LOL

Anyway, here is a link to a picture of it.  Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
TQM

94 Sentra Timing Chain

How comon is it for a 94 Sentra to jump timing, 170 k miles.

Battery Strong.

Car won’t start, checked fuel pump fuse, rotor turns, getting spark to plugs

would fire nothing.

Looked inside the valve cover the valsves are closeing and opening.

Any ideas?

Thanks

2000 I30 Rough Idling at Start

My 2000 I30 has 64K miles. A couple of months ago coil #1 was
replaced. Recently, I noticed some rough engine idling in park(engine
is vibrating as if a coil is bad) when I start the car. The rpms would
go down quickly to almost 500 and then back up to the normal level and
then in about 10 seconds the engine idles normally. There are no codes
in the ECM, i.e. no MIL indicator. This doesn’t happen every time I
start the car but seems to occur on warm engine starts and again not
evey time.

Now, a couple of days I started the car with engine cold and got rough
idling that wouldn’t go away. I also had an unusual smell coming from
the exhaust. After several seconds I got P1320 and P0303 codes so my
mechanic replaced the #3 coil.

I was hoping that my brief rough idling at starts would disappear but
it is still happening. My mechanic tells me that if there are no
codes, it’s not the coil. Is he right? What else could that be? If the
MIL is not on, there are definitely no codes in the ECM, right?
