Hello fellow xterra owners! Having a problem with my 05 SE 200k miles, when car is completely warm and I accelerate between 2-3k rpm it hesitates and the engine feels like it’s missing. I have no check engine light, engine temp is around 197-203 when this happens, trans temp is normal around...

Hey all, recently I've been noticing two things which may or may not be related. 1. A rattling noise when going over bumps, seeming to come from the engine bay near the front. 2. During idle, especially when in gear, there is a loud clicking that sounds like a solenoid switch followed by 1-2...

So when I am coasting along at about 40 or higher if I tap (on off) the gas I feel like the motor or trans (Can't tell so don't ask unless you have a way for me to tell) kind of bounces. I also hear a slight clunk like as if the motor is raising off of metal then settling back onto it with no...
