- 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 S with only 100k and the engine blew, this car was brought to us on a rollback and has not been started since we got it. let's see if she'll start after sitting 8 months.

This sounds exactly like my old car. It'll want to start so bad, and it'll take a few times of cranking and pedal pumping but when it finally starts, it runs PERFECTLY. Leave it sitting for more than 20 minutes or so and you've got another 5 minutes of what you heard when Kyle was cranking it.
I have an '05 Altima with 144k+. With regular maintenance it's still driving like new. Starts and runs with no problems. I did have to replace the two rear axle bearings though.
I don't know why, but i find these videos oddly amusing..
Same 😂 I only started watching videos like these cause my car has a bad engine now
@@itsstxph1998 same here. My Moms GMC Envoy had a blown engine and now we can't fix it so we sold it to someone who wanted the Envoy.
Legend has it that car is still sitting in that parking lot and will not start.
Idk by now it’s like 18 years old
its been many years since this video, by now they probably have put it a new engine and sold it to somebody who drove it for like a month and now its probably sitting in a junkyard somewhere.
These early 2.5 engines suffered from a faulty design in the pre-catalytic converter; if the precat failed and broke up, bits and pieces if it would be sucked in through the EGR system, causing valve and cylinder damage. Nissan has since corrected this problem.
2:24 I like that startup
Sadly this Altima is obviously neglected. They are usually solid cars. I'm happy with mine and it runs strong. I put 10k miles this year since January and it hasn't given me problems but I take care of it. All cars will take care of you if you do the same.
That's what happens when you don't change your oil!
Or your oil filter.
And when you buy a Nissan lol
@@paul9912 Scotty Kilmer would agree
Paul Ss I was about to comment that 😂
Not true mines just blew with 102020 oil change date
6:14 the hood prop is on the underside of the hood lmao
i have a 2003 nissan altima 3.5 SE and its got a few stories. At 206k kilometres, it needed a new engine, at 226k kms, it needed a new catalytic converter, and it hasn't ever been in an accident. i don't know if i got unlucky with the car, but i heard that the catalytic converter has been a large problem with other altimas of the same model.
I really thought that it was going to start......
Thanks for posting! a very good video!
that thing had a great starter !!!
I love my 2007 Nissan Altima shes fast and reliable mine has 255,000 on it same engine just matters how you take care of it just had mine up to 110 in mexico she does pretty good for being a four banger really awesome car all the way around...have a great day!
@@elir.torres8642bro I can assure you that you don’t got a car
4:35 I think this thing will fire 4:50 come on you piece of crap. love Kyles vids I fount those lines funny
How much for 2010 altma
427 Elevating Productions I think that hurts the car waaaay more than you... Poor car tryin to start
The majority of these Altimas were garbage
Also, Kyle, as you said you couldn't find the hood support rod, on some cars, like with this one, the support is actually on the hood, nice catch, and I love your videos, mate, cheers!l
I like the way that V8 sound. Because, the 2006 Ford Expedition started up like one of our vehicles @ the bus company. 😂
The engine is not that bad. It is salvageable. All of the rods are still in tact because there is no loud clicking noises like on the Jeep. If you put some work into it, it will be a good car.
You probobably need to put new gas and new spark plugs in it. I would us the 2 gap spark plugs.
Sad. Regardless of my views on the efficiency of this particular engine, I have to say that it's still sad to see such complex work be neglected
That's great! Mine has 57k but it had 47k in January. My commute can be anywhere from 30-50 (sometimes more) miles everyday but it's taken care of me with NO problems. I'm positive your Altima will treat you the same if not better. My friend swears by Nissans and has owned 8 so far. Easy to see why :)
We’ve been driving a 1990 Chrysler town and country with a bad transmission (broke in 97, never fixed) and blew the engine 3 years ago 2020. That was covid so everywhere was closed. We still have yet to fix it, sometimes when pulling out it just goes eh and eventually startles you by taking off. It’s a blast to ride in! For a while if you turned left the car would shut off but that fixed itself!
its a shame how ppl treat cars these days
Matt A damn shame isn’t it? Why do people even buy a car if they going to treat it like this? Better if walking or buying a bicycle.
Matt Yeah! That sucks. Old cars rule
Matt Nissan just suck nowaday especially the chime and reliability.
Jakeman Productions I actually changed my mind about 2021 Nissan already with their new design without Renault
@Jakeman Productions Nearly no one had test drive a new 2021 Nissan Rouge and Ariya yet so we don't know but the fact that Nissan leave Renault might give a chance.
My dad has the same car. They burn oil like a fiend because when Nissan designed the motor, they but the catalytic converter too close to the motor, causing the oil and coolant to boil once the car reaches about 100k miles. Great car with lots of pep, great on gas mileage too. But the way Nissan designed the motor, these cars about dead once they reach 100k mi. My dads is at 108k mi, but he has to put oil in every 3 days
The QR25de is a great engine. It's the precat that falls apart and scores the cylinder walls.
Mine has 224,000 miles on it and it works perfectly its a 2003 nissan altima 2.5s
I have a 2002 sentra SE-R Spec-V with the same engine and like DJ said its just the precat in the exhaust (and the butterfly screws in the intake) that ever had an issue. But if people were vigilant with the recall and upkeep like a proper car owner should (or owner of anything should for that matter)then it wouldnt have been an issue
My 2003 2.5 has 136k barely burns oil it all depends on how u take care of the car
My Grand Cherokee with the 4.0l straight six started just fine with a piston that snapped off the connecting rod and bent valves. Oh also the piston disintegrated because of the connecting rod smashing it. It also had a blown head gasket and no oil pressure. I think it runs fine, it just makes a loud knock.
Im so glad Honda's 2.4 i-vtec has no major failures. Only problem our has ever had is the oil fill cap broke and we had the recall on the transmission done for a safe measure.
"cmon you piece of crap" xD
Kyle the engine is blown, some trash person owned it and abused it. That's indeed a good car, just had an idiot owner that's all.
and the car wasn't even 10 years old before 2013
I know a trash person who is my roommate that bought a brand new Hyundai Accent last year and his dumb ass hasn't changed the oil or maintenance it and the car has 22,000 miles. he was puzzled as to why the car's oil light didn't pop up to tell him to change the oil.
+Elliot Reindeer my boss who is an attorney has a leased mecedez suv with a turbo diesel that he drove for like almost 2 years and never once did an oil change until it was too late the motor seized and then he towed it to the dealer..... where they asked if he ever did an oil change?.......and a big light bulb lit up on his head!!!!! and he finally realized that he never thought about an oil change the whole 2 years
It's the engine itself that is badly made by Nissan.The Altima sucks.

For future reference, the hood prop is attached to the hood instead of the normal radiator frame support.
@rforracing Unfortunately, this can occur in any Nissan vehicle with this engine; there was a design flaw in the pre-catalytic converter.
Rough car? Looks pretty good to me.
If you are going to get an Altima, get the 3.5SE!
No! Those break down fast! 2.5SL all the way.
@@GamerBoy-zc5rh so you saying the 2.5 is more reliable than the 3.5se?
By a long shot 3.5 has double the problems
@@GamerBoy-zc5rh Last time I checked from one of car wizards videos the 2.5 engines blew head gaskets.
Mine also did not fire due to lack of compression.
The leak of compression was even seen through empty radiator while the sap was off.
I did empty a can of engine start spray to those with negative comments.
But nice video bro.
Is this car fixed can you make an update video Kyle?
Since the motor is already junk you should of tried spraying a whole can of starting fluid just for the hell of it.
good idea
They were better when they were Datsun with their little dinky pickup trucks and the ... whatever that thing was that roadkill had that was a Datsun
So Kyle what ever happened to this car? Was it ever fixed up and sold it or did you guys just get rid of it?
Yeah we want to know
What happen did you ever fix it cause my car Nissan altima 06 doing the same thing?
@Jet Life did you find the solution?
@kendrickevans301 It's going to mix because the engine creates a vacuum when rotated. A spark plug will not ignite if all cylinders are flooded because they will be wet. I was just pointing out that pumping the gas will just allow short bursts of more air in, while turning it over. It did increase chances of this thing starting had it not had low compression, probably due to a blown head gasket, which is common on these 2.5 altima's.
its a shame to see the engine blown already. btw on that gen of altimas the rod to hold the hood open is on the actual hood itself lol u can see it in ur vid also lol. keep up the good vids
At 1:44 I love the chime
Kulraj Cheema it kinda sounds like when you start a Honda Civic
they copied honda
Kulraj Cheema old one are better: they have mechanical bell chime.
Me too
The 3.5 se do not have the engine problems, only the 2.5 does.
4:22 symphony of engines sounds! sounds like a song
I think the "Service Engine Soon" light is a bit of an understatement.
2:30 yes! Revs it, dies
4:34 i think this thing will fire..... 4:50 cmon you piece of crap
Lol😂😂
Ha
these are great cars my friend has one with 300k on it and still runs great
i like your channel
I just would love to know how you blow an engine in a Nissan period.
I wanna know too! I been flooring chevys ford, & Cadillac since I been driving & have not broken a motor. A L48 350 I had came apart after using heads from an unknown source (ebay) but I take blame for that. I don't see how this foreign stuffs as great as folks make it out to be.
Charles Lane this was probably not treated properly, plus this would've been built domestically and Nissans sports motors are always built strong
Charles Lane Some models (2002-2003 specifically) have certain problems (even have recalls on them) where the engine components can be damaged. I'm dealing with some of that right now. I always have taken care of my 03 Altima, but at 165,000 miles, it's beginning to give me some trouble.
Charles
Simple! You get the CEO of Renault to be the CEO of Nissan too.
going from 4th gear into 1st
@6:20 yea
Same here, I take care my altima and it reaches 10K miles in September so I hope it will still run strong otherwise I hhave no money for repair.
@poisonjimmy
Thanks for the advise. The car is still sitting in my garage so I might think about putting 3.5 in it!
Did it really take you 5 minutes of cranking it over to realize that is wasn't a battery issue?
Did it take you long enough to type out the comment to realize the failure to crank was a battery issue, hence the not cranking and why when the ford donated some electricity it actually tried to start
Kyle how does your ford have 970k on it??
Its a car at his dealership, and it has 97,000 miles on it
+Peter Kapica It's 97,000 not 970,000
Peter Kapica Lol it has 97K not almost 1MILL
97K but its a Ford so ya never know could be 970K LOL
uh that number of miles is probably impossible to reach. i bet no car in history has made it to 1 million miles
The sound when he puts in the key is same as my 2009 nissan pathfinder le's
My alitma 2006 still running same transmission only 123,000 miles.silver took very good care of it.looks like new.
those noobs bitching about this car telling nissan is shit, this and that crap...
i have a 2006 altima with a v6 engine. i change the oils on time. never broke down or disappointed me.
one thing i have to hate about this car is the low ground clearance.
it prob leaks all kinda oil lmao I cant tell u how many 3.5 and 3.0 oil pan gaskets I've done
5:40 it sounds like it's laughing at you...
I've gotta hand it to him, only SaabKyle could've made the starting of a junky old car that much of an "edge of your seat" video; well done :-)
That ford sounds so freakin nice!
It won't start since the spark plugs are fouled with water (since head gasket is blown letting water mix with oil. It may start after cranking multiple times or removing plugs and clean them. But it will shoot white smoke out of the tail pipe if it starts running. Once it sets again (not running) the water in the oil will foul the plugs again, thus hard starts. This is how starters are burned out from people trying to start a car with a bad engine. These Nissans are cheaply made anyways. Don't bother buying one of these. A real headache to maintain.
How did that happen? How to fix it?
Poor car
It commonly happens when a car is constantly driven for long periods of time, brought from cold too hot again constantly, and just generally being in use for a longer time. That is, assuming it was just the head gasket to blow (most common). A gasket is thin piece of metal meant to seal the join of two parts that have oil and/or coolant jackets (tunnels in the engine block). A Head gasket performs that function, as well as preventing combustion from leaving one cylinder and entering another, or exiting through the side. Head gaskets are easy fixes if diagnosed early, if held off they can cause a lot more issues. The easiest way to tell if a head gasket is blown is to open the oil, or radiator cap and smelling or feeling the oil/coolant (you usually smell the coolant or feel the oil), the oil which is meant for lubrication will feel watery and will dry out if rubbed between your fingers, and the coolant will smell of combustion (exhaust fumes).
If he means that the block is blown, basically there was either an over pressuriztion in a defective or weaker area of the block and the pressure, wanted out (which is VERY RARE), or he was racing or over revving or just pushing the engine too hard and a part, usually the connecting rod snaps sending the connecting rod into the side of the cylinder or block breaking through the engine. This is not repairable, you'll need a new block which basically means you need a new engine
***** Why bother when it pertains to an Altima?
Or if the owner is too stupid to change the oil
that wouldn't really cause a headgasket to blow or leak that is more likely to seize an engine because of the oil losing it;s lubrication factor and a build up of metal particles. But I see where you're getting it from
***** U mean oil that may be more like elmers glue? Sticky & sweet? How about folks that go to the nearest chain & get the cheapest oil & filter known to man then run the MFR 7,500-10,000 mi oil change interval. The MFRs need to STRESS OUALITY OIL & filters. But then the chain wants u in there every 3,000 mi so theres not much agreement btw the oil change places & what the MFR wants. Customer cant win either way unless they change their own oil!
this guy will not give up.. its hitt!!
Did you try the cam shaft position sensor, or the crankshaft position sensor?
4:20 who knew cars could play dub steps while starting?
Lol
Poebat Your so right I cracked up hard
Poebalt l
stereo is good in it! Maybe you can rent it out to a crackhead!
i have a 2000 nissan altima twin cam 16 volt v4 it runs like a sports car! everything is original no crakes or dents. amazing interior now thats what i call a driver!
The seat belt chime almost sounds like the opening of 24
that's how my car sounds now. :( omg 2002 nissan maxima.... lol "come on you piece of crap" lol
Altima, or Maxima?
Found on road dead that's what FORD stands for
haha that's what a lot of people say. i have a ford, and just got a Nissan. My Taurus has 177000. i hope once i fix it i can squeeze more from it. it has been a good car to me. well, aside from the three times it stopped in the street. and the fact that i cant seem to run my heat or air, because that's what'll make it stop in the street. lol love my baby. That's the only reason why shes still in my front yard.
+Alessia “jiggajaw” Aikley I like the 2016 GMC Sierra Denali HD with the 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine
+Mike Perring You watch yourself Mr Mike
+Chanse Ormon ahahahahahaha true that. ford makes the SHITTIEST ENGINES EVER
I'd own a dodge before I'd own a damn FOUND ON ROAD DEAD you bunch of ford dumbasses
Definitely wasn’t maintained properly or had some old oil
I'd def buy that car if fixed up. Still deciding on what my first car should be
Could just need a new fuel pump
Yes, It sounded like the engine got 0 fuel. Either he was dry firing without depressing the gas pedal or the pump was bad.
Did you not read the title?
How can it be the fuel pump when the engine doesn't even crank like a normal car should
Blown engine sometimes won't start
cars have feelings
at our dealership we had an 03 mecury sable ls that came in on repo it smeled like smoke crap and the engine was blown. It just wasnt taken care of. It only had 109k. we ended up fixing it back in december of 2011 and was sold to a custumer for thier son. There son really likes it and it still comes back often to have oil changes
poor altima
This guy needs to get fired.
Why?
Yah why?
His parents own the business dude...
Hey man you DO NOT disrespect the King what's wrong with you?
Why?
I just got my 2003 3.5L Altima and I couldn't be happier. only 500 miles from hitting 100k. The big problem about these cars is that a lot of the times the cam sensor would go out. Mine had to have an alternator replaced. both easy fixes.
the hood prop is on the inside top of the hood, and the anchor is on the passenger side fender. my girlfriend's mom has a 2005 altima, nice, smooth car.
Nissan sucks
you suck
montrail smith
Wow, how original...
Thanks 😜
Honda is going the same route as nissan. CVTs always have problems.
I agree my Nissan quest only lasted me 6 years then the motor went
one of my church friends used to have a Nissan altimeter like that
We bought a 2011 Kia optima off someone for $500 with a blown engine. It had 174k miles on it. It'd start up and run horribly when we got it but then it sat for a few months and the engine fully seized and it wouldn't run anymore period. The man maintained it well for it to last to 174k. The engines had issues and some were going before 10k miles. (metal shavings and debris from manufacturing not removed) we were gonna replace the engine ourselves but after having it sit for a few months kia issued recalls during this time so we got a free engine because the guy had intense maintenance records at the dealership so the dealer knew it had issues related to the recall.
is there a video on how to remove the head to get to the gasket
Where are your other videos you made on the 2003 Nissan altima
mine did the same thing shop said it was blown but another guy looked at it and crawled under and drilled few holes in the catalytic converter and it started and ran good I just cut it out and ran pipe and it still runs today
I have an 06 2.5 with 180,000 on it. Original engine and trans still going strong. I'm not easy on it and drive the parkway/interstate 5-6 days a week
I like the L31 Altima because it looks cool
the beep b4 you start it reminds me of honda
ohh yeah 2007-2009 2.5's are awsome ! Lots of power for a 4 cylinder. Reliable as well :D, Buddy of mines has a 2007 2.5s
When the engine tried to start, it sounded better than the jeep the dealer had xD
I have an idea to start it up!You can get help from 2 cars that have the most powerful engines.
its a great car but if you must please have a pre purchase inspection on the problem area it is located right behind the intake fans you will see a heat shield make sure your mechanic checks under that 1st.
Just the motor. Me and my Father are mechanics and a customer signed it over to us and we ran it a little bit be for we replaced it. Tomorrow were going to put it on an engine stand and stick the throttle wide open till it dies. Gotta have fun before you scrap it.
If it was fordmustang98guy attempting to start this car he would've cussed and got angry 😅😂
My cousin has that same car and i think its doing that now too. I read that this year eat oil like crazy and causes engine failure. Hers also had no oil on the dipstick.
@KingKevin2323
Pretty easy actually
most common is the Pre cat (like mine 2003 2.5S)
After a completely new engine from Nissan my only concern is the trans may need a re build
DUDE THE FUEL WAS COMPLETE OUT!
It all depends on how you take care of your vehicle. I have a 1995 F-150 302 V8 with 256,000 miles on it, it was a daily driver and a work/farm truck. The body has a bit of rust and the frame was never cleaned so I'm having to replace parts on the frame that have succumb to salt rust but the motor and transmission were taken exceptional care of. Starts and runs like a top, only thing wrong is a leaky rear main, which happens in almost every 5.0 motor from this time, and a leaky transfer case. Engine has never thrown a CEL in its nearly 20 year life.
Sounds a lot better off than my family's 1992 Mustang with the same engine. Had to get several engine components replaced over the summer.
Well, you see, most people drive the dog shit out of 5.0 mustangs. Those are also aluminum block Coyotes. A bit different than the iron block 302. Aluminum is horsepower, weight reduction. Iron block is more torquey, and more heavy duty. Before I bought mine the alternator was rebuilt, an aluminum high flow water pump was put on it and the radiator had to be replaced (a bird went through it.)
THEGHOSTSLAVE This one was originally owned and driven by my dad's parents. It's problems were caused by sitting in Panama City Beach for several years and being exposed to a lot of humidity and storms. Now, it runs pretty well. Just needed a couple new parts under the hood and an exhaust to replace the one that had holes rusted through it in several places.
Well mine is an Indiana truck, so I understand where you're coming from on the humidity part of things. We are usually between 92 and 100% humidity up here in the mid spring to late summer. Then we have salt in the winter for the roads which tears the crap out of body panels.
@zekeandluther3 what exactly is the fault of the owner that the pre-catalyst physically degrades into the engine?
@Eluthingol07 i agree sounds like the timing is of kyle you should trie adjusting the distibutar
sinces kyles doctor love when it comes ot cars :)
The 2.5s blew quite frequently sadly :( Amazing how much a poorly designed catalytic converter can do. Even the 3.5s from that time frame are in danger from ceramic getting pulled back into the engine by the egr. What blows the 2.5 is a filter screen in the cat breaks lose and gets sucked into the engine Q_Q
This is an 02 altima which has a blown head gasket. This because its faulty junk. Why you ask. The head gasket blows. In the meantime while stopping up the pre cat with oil/coolant. Then the motor blows bc the pre cat is stopped up. I own an 02 altima and this has happend to me 5 times.
