A PCV or connecting hose problem can cause great issues with a 1997 Nissan pickup idling. In fact, this can keep it from running, even if it does start, and the engine turns over.
First and foremost this engine does not have a timing belt. It acutally has a timing chain which does not need to be replaced unless there are issues with the vehicle holding time.
nissan has named this transmission a RE5F22A but it is really a AW 55-50SN which is found in a lot of volvos. These transmissions are very problematic and have all types of issues. The valve bodies on these transmission are known to fail as well as the transmissions themselves. The common sypmtoms are jerking when putting into drive or reverse after the car is warmed up and slipping 2nd to 3rd gear
i don't see any issues with it but some people believe that the animals should die when its time and not when you decide.

I am having trouble getting getting this Nissan timing chain in time so the engine will run correctly. I have checked all other avenues and I know its the chain that is causing my issues. I need techniques and diagrams if at all possible, Thank you for any and all help. JB Go to rynoauto . com
Even though you have already replaced the thermostat, there are other issues that can cause your Nissan Maxima to overheat. Your fan may be stuck and not operating as it should.
Yes, if you have issues with your Detroit engine it is important to take it to a mechanic ASAP.
I'm up to 185000 but I'm starting to get issues with the u2 sensors and other small things need replacing, as well as rusting issues.
AnswerYour Villager is powered by Nissan's 3.0 liter VG30E SOHC engine that made 153 horsepower (the engine is a slightly modified one then found on other Nissan vehicles, one of the requirements of Ford was it be modified to become a non-interference engine, thus if the timing belt breaks, there would be no damage to the valves). Because of manufacturing issues, Nissan had an arrangement for Ford to assemble the minivan in North America, and in turn they were allowed to rebadge it and sell it under the Mercury brand as the Villager. On this engine I am not positive if it is Interference or not. Even Gates lists it as a both on their website. I think it is a non-interferance engine but, to be safe, I would just replace the belt at 60,000 miles. Mine broke after 220,000 miles. (meant to have it replaced but forgot)Had it repaired...runs fine...good for another 100,000. Non-interference engine.Villager engines are not interference. You can remove the timing belt and turn the engine freely. Nissan models are interference. Even though it's the same engine, the cam timing is different between them.
