Coil with oil 
Solved
2001 Nissan Sentra 215 miles
When starting my car, it jerks a bit. Only after several minutes it starts working properly. When I removed the coil, it had some oil in it. The spark plugs are new, not even a month old. I would like to know if there is a problem with the engine, the coil, or what can be happening. Thanks.
CommentOil light Solved
2001 Nissan Sentra 150000 miles
Good morning, I have a Sentra 2001 1.8 engine and it happened to me that, when driving on the street, it speeded up only to 40-50 mph. I tried accelerating it harder, it revolutionized but wouldn't speed up. It consumes way too much fuel and also the oil light has turned. I checked the oil, which I thought might have burnt, but it was at its right level. I kept driving and the light turned on once more. It has also occurred to me that, once revolutions went down and I accelerated, the car stalled. The engine started again but it made a terrible sound, as if the rods were about to break. I then stopped at a mall, bought some oil and added it to the car but I could not solve the problem.

Best answer (according to Obed)
It must be the oil pump, which you should change as soon as possible.

2006 Nissan Sentra 120000 miles
Hi, I own a Sentra 2006 and my problem is that the Check engine light remains turned on in the dashboard. I was told the failure was in the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, so I changed them but, after two days, the light turned on again. Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks!

The same happens to my car, I just disconnect the battery and the Check engine light disappears. It even sometimes goes away alone.
Scanners OBD II or superior will give you the corresponding error code.
I had check engine light on, it ended up being 2 of the 4 o2 sensors, but a scantily check should tell you
CommentYesterday, Nissan 2019 sentra sv, got a checked engine light on
2019 Nissan Sentra Sedan, 159000 miles
Yesterday, hubby and I drove our car and at first things were good. In the afternoon, the car lit up check engine light on. The transmission started to slip, them we were losing speed. Then, we were able to gain speed by slowly accelerating the gas pedal
When we came to a stop or slow down, it was taking a while for the car to accelerate up to 30 miles but once it passed 30, then it accelerated quickly as long as we didn't have to stop or slow down.
Yesterday, we went to autozone and got a code P0868 Transmission fluid pressure low.
Later on, we realized driving further, the car really slo… Read complete

I have had this happen before with the exact issues. I couldn't afford a mechanic so I had to pull the transmission myself and rebuild it and then take it in to get reprogrammed. The issue typically stems from your valve body getting clogged up with metal because one of the pressure sensors failed and sticking the valves, but just changing that won't help because once that starts happening, it will take out your fluid pump and variator pulley seals. For around 1500$ you can rebuild it yourself with all new parts and seals or spend the 6k at a mechanic.

My girl is old... But I need to keep her around for a few more years!
She's got a few problems, but the one I'm addressing now is the AC!
It worked great 😃 until I loaned it out last summer! The guy that borrowed her said he 'disengaged' it's because it started blowing hot air while he had it. I can't find/reach him to ask what he did! HELP! I'm a SWF w/ a limit budget, but I can find my way around an engine.
So I turn on recirculate & AC on high. I got this car about 5 year's ago, and the fan has always ran rough and loud. I can hear the compressor but no airflow through the interior v… Read complete

P0448 – EVAP Vent Control Valve Circuit
2018 Nissan Sentra Sedan, 1.8 L 76428 miles
My car has triggered diagnostic trouble code P0448, which indicates a problem in the EVAP system, specifically the vent control valve circuit. This usually means the EVAP vent valve is stuck closed, shorted, or clogged, preventing proper airflow in and out of the charcoal canister.
Common causes include:
• A faulty EVAP vent control valve
• Wiring issues such as shorts, corrosion, or damaged connectors
• A blocked or contaminated vent valve (often from dust, debris, or winter road salt)
• In some cases, a faulty EVAP canister
Because of this issue, the EVAP system cannot purge correctly, and the Check Engine Light comes on.

Fuel gauge on the dashboard
2014 Nissan Sentra Sedan 194000 miles
Fuel gauge is presenting with a half a tank of gas, then it says empty. When I shut the vehicle off and back on again. It will usually return to the correct position. The check engine light is not on. The needle is not rising and falling quickly, it's not jiggling and the vehicle has not stalled out or refused to start, yet.
