95 Nissan Altima tachometer problem Sign up here!

This just started this past summer. Now my remote car starter will not work correctly. I believe they are connected somehow. The car starts but quits after about 3-5 seconds. It cycles thru its 3 starts like its supposed to but shuts down each time. Is there some kind of sensor bad or possible bad wire? A local repairman tried to troubleshoot it for me but could not fix and the nearest Nissan dealer is over an hour away.

All connections need to be properly soldered and sealed. Either that or take the thing out - and still solder up wiring and seal them. These and alarms cause more trouble with some time on them than they are worth. My opinion, - T jd97 New User Oct 15, 2005, 5:56 AM Post #3 of 6 (7160 views) Re: 95 Nissan Altima tachometer problem Sign In Thanks for the reply Tom. The remote has worked flawlessly for 7 years until now. What I don't understand is that it still starts the car but something is shutting it down instantly. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 15, 2005, 9:29 AM Post #4 of 6 (7160 views) Re: 95 Nissan Altima tachometer problem Sign In Maybe because those systems are told to shut off if they detect a failure. It now could be faulty an render you a pedestrian! I can't be sure of that - just a good guess. As said - check connections, - T sieja New User Nov 25, 2005, 1:03 PM Post #5 of 6 (7014 views) Re: 95 Nissan Altima tachometer problem Sign In Did you ever resolve your tachometer problems. My 1995 Altima is doing the same thing ... most of the time it registers 0 rpm, but sometimes goes erratic. Once, in the rain, it actually read the correct rpm. jd97 New User Nov 25, 2005, 2:35 PM Post #6 of 6 (7010 views) Re: 95 Nissan Altima tachometer problem Sign In Hi-No I did not fix the tach problem but I did fix the remote starter problem. A wire had pulled off a cluster of wires from the distributor and it works now since I reattached to the cluster. I've asked numerous people including the Nissan service tech and he says he'd have to troubleshoot it but I don't feel like driving the 50 miles to do it. It's supposedly not doing any harm to my car but it just drives me nuts seeing it go crazy. She's 10 years old so I'm not upset about it. If I can get another year or two out of it I'll be happy. It's still very comfortable to ride in.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
