Recently at 40K (24,000 miles) my 2003 Altima 2.5 SL started to
hesitate when accelerating from a stop; green light, stop sign, etc.
It would see to die slightly when applying the gas and then catch on
and move forward. I described this when I took it to the dealer for an
oil change and asked them to check the timing settings after I
described the hesitation I was experiencing. I was told a few minutes
later that the settings were on but the only thing they could think of
is that the car needs a fuel injector cleaning....at $165.00. I went
for the injector job. The car runs perfectly after the service and now
at 54K is still running fine. I'm suspicious. Did they adjust the
settings and then sell me an unnecessary fuel injector service? I hope
not. Having to get the injectors cleaned at only 40K seems a little
too early to me. Any thoughts out there on this?
