2009 Versa has 33k miles, tires are "cupped". Do they NOT

After 33k miles, whatever its problem has nothing to do with whether or not
it came from the factory correctly aligned. Much more likely a wheel has
been dropped in a hole or whomped on a curb by now. Get it checked.

Wow. So Toyota grabbed the name from the automotive name junkpile.

Yea, apparently the real thoughtful guys were working at Isuzu. They
came up with P'up.

Corona is the ring around the sun during an eclipse, and is also part of
a flower. The name "Camry" is an Anglicized phonetic transcription of the
Japanese word kanmuri (冠, かんむり), meaning "crown"

They also have the Crown, and, my favorite, the Crown Royal.
Celica is ultimately derived from the Latin word coelica meaning
"heavenly" or "celestial".

Carina is a constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for the
keel of a ship.

At one time all Toyotas in the US had names beginning with "C". Except for
"truck", which was called HiLux elsewhere.

Land Cruiser is cool. "Pickup Truck" was HiLux everywhere else, "Toyota
Van" was either LiteAce or HiAce everywhere else.


Don't make me get all Kei on your ass.

I replaced the distributor already throwing parts at it and still have
the same symptoms. Also the car will not hesitate at all until it is
operating temperature. despite the erratic idle i have full power with
no issues until the engine warms up. i was still thinking the EGR
control assembly might be to blame but it acts the same whether the
EGR valve is hooked up or bypassed, and the EGR valve tests fine under
vacuum and is closed as it should be at idle. this is driving me
crazy!
Thanks for anyone out there with ANY ideas to try! without a check
engine light being set, is there any benefit of a computer analysis?
Does anyone even HAVE a machine to hook up to a 91 sentra? there is a
non-obd connector under the dash...
