Nisanalmera 1st Gear June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 Hi, I have an Nissan Almera 1.8 2004 MT Tried out some Engine Restorer Car stalled 4 times when clutch was down (low RPM) with the check engine, and check oil light on, check oil light came on just before the car stalled. Now the engine does not stall, and has no check engine or low oil light on, but has a rough idle (nearly stalls), im feeling so dumb i fought that this product would help with oil consumption, and now i could just end up with a dead engine? Help is much appreciated All the best Patrick ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help is much appreciated All the best Patrick Perhaps it's time to change your clutch? If not might be time to overhaul your engine as it's close to 14 yrs old. I drive a manual bit never heard of something like this happening. I only experience in my brother kia cerato (auto) that became very rough and start stalling when there was a cylinder crack and something happened on car computer programming. Can't help much. You might consider posting here if you think the problem has to do with manual transmission as posting in Japanese forum, I dunno cos most Japanese cars seem to be auto now. http://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2656743-ah-the-joy-of-a-manual/ Hope it helps.

Slowpoke 3rd Gear June 13, 2018 Share June 13, 2018 let me apologise in advance if the following is going to sound harsh.... your car has a stalling issue and you think the solution to that problem comes in a bottle? please take it to a proper workshop and have a mechanic take a look, if engine problems are so easily fixed with a bottle of snake oil then all the workshops would have closed down due to lack of business. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER-3682 Twincharged June 13, 2018 Share June 13, 2018 Try cleaning the Throttle Body...change the Air & Fuel Filter & Spark Plugs...This type of Car usually very minor Problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic June 14, 2018 Share June 14, 2018 Just drain out the engine oil+engine restorer mixture and put in fresh engine oil to run the engine. See how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Thanks for the link. Hope the Restorer didn't ruin my engine, i had no check engine/oil light on. Currently the car is at my mechanic. Hope its running like normal after the oil has been changed. I think this is very strange, almost only read good reviews about this stuff, but could be a sensor that is now acting up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisanalmera 1st Gear June 15, 2018 Author Share June 15, 2018 I went to my mechanic here today, and he changed the oil, oil filter, camshaft sensor, and the sparkplugs. But the car still has this problem. At least now i know that the Engine Restorer is no longer in the oil. So if you have an QG18DE Engine STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM ENGINE RESTORER. I will try to clean the PCV valve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER-3682 Twincharged June 16, 2018 Share June 16, 2018 In my view,i tried Engine Restorer & many types of Additives,i don't think it will cause Engines to run low idling,maybe it is your Throttle Body Dirty...Spray cleaner while Engine is running...it should do the job.
