Sentra Hatchback Coupe L4-1597cc 1.6L SOHC (E16i) (1987)
Some of the Applied Models built prior to the VINs shown may exhibit intermittent engine hesitation or surging under load. The condition "feels" as if
the ignition is shut off for less than a second and then turned back on.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For vehicles that exhibit this symptom, check the engine systems using the driveability diagnostic procedure in the EF & EC section of the appropriate
Nissan Service Manual. This will include a complete self-diagnosis procedure at the vehicle ECU and a complete follow up with trouble-shooting on any
trouble codes, until a code 44 or all clear code is achieved.
NOTE:
If a code 11 (crank angle sensor) occurs in a vehicle with manual transmission, clear the memory and repeat the self-diagnosis check. In some
vehicles, the code 11 will appear in the self-diagnosis memory any time the ignition switch is turned to the "Start" position while the clutch pedal is
not fully depressed.
If the intermittent condition persists after all engine systems are in proper working order according to the tests above, then perform the following test
procedure.
