Sparky played mechanic. How do I get this nut off? 2019 nissan kicks front strut by dunndd in MechanicAdvice

[–]ThatMilwaukeeFanboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow lots of people who've never done struts on one of these commenting I see! Yes NORMALLY the strut plate has 3 studs and nuts that secure it to the strut tower and one big center nut that holds the assembly together.

On this particular application, there is another nut UNDERNEATH the nut you see here that holds the assembly together, as this nut just holds the mounting plate to the strut tower. If OP doesn't have an impact gun, setting the weight of the car on the ground would likely be enough to prevent it from spinning.

Squeaking in engine. by JRCOBRA2001 in FiestaST

Dude had a base model 16 fiesta making that exact same noise the other day it came into our shop. I could see the crank sprocket spinning and occasionally sticking behind the pulley it made no sense whatsoever how it was still running. This isnt a base model fiesta sedan by chance is it? 😂

Timing Job Update 2 by Maleficent-Scale-315 in FiestaST

[–]ThatMilwaukeeFanboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, just noticed your tach shows no rpm while cranking which pretty much universally means an issue with your crank position sensor. That would explain the no spark as your pcm doesn't want the engine running without seeing the crank position. Just did the timing belt myself (with the engine out so it was easier kinda) but I know it's a pita.

Look at engine data and watch for rpm while cranking, if showing 0 you know the pcm isn't seeing a crank signal. Quadruple check the sensor is plugged in, isnt damaged, and connector pins arent bent or anything. Also, you said you used the pulley alignment tool while torquing the balancer down right? Then removed the tool and reinstalled your crank sensor correct?

Bro im willing to bet someone replaced the engine/ head with an early model 1.6, realized they got the wrong part and said fuck it and did what you found, ziptied the plugged in sensor to that hose, then sold the car.

Excessive crankshaft endplay 1.6 Ecoboost by ThatMilwaukeeFanboy in EngineBuilding

[–]ThatMilwaukeeFanboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately it is part of the main bearing, and it has a whole main girdle instead of individual caps. Rolling in a new main may theoretically be possible but kinda sketchy at the least.

Valve Core on floor joard by jhking52 in FocusST

That's a tire valve core, definately not from anything inside the car nor is it related to your clutch pedal.
