Thread: Dropping those screws!!!!!!

The other day I was driving on sunrise and my car just shut off on me...ok a lil weird....later on went out to lunch and the its happend agin...now its miss fireing and barley abel to start...brought the car down stairs at work.. found out that I had a miss fire in cylinder 3... So the I replaced it... And it did it agin...found a bent spark plug....witch means that there was a screw in there floating in there.... Pulled aprt the inatke manifold and found the plate holding the power valve open and missing a screw...replaced all the screws with washers and thread locks.....would of cost about 2.000$ just to fix...I only payed 30$ lol....benifts to work at NISSAN....ssoooo dddooppeee

supposedly they did but a few people still had issues with the butterfly screws. You should get the loctite and make sure they dont fall out, doesnt take long.
