Does this car have a timing chain or a timing belt?

Chain.

At 63000 miles I just had my brakes looked at by Meineke. Fronts good for
about 5000 miles according to mechanic and rears look like they should be
done shortly. Meineke wants $230 + tax for rears. Haven't contacted dealer
but wondering if anyone had any experience with Meineke. Also what dealer
charged you?

Hello everyone,
I have a 2001 Altima with 130,000 miles. The last couple of time I
fill up for gas, the service engine soon light comes on. I have
checked the reading on the obd sensor and it codes for a bad O2
sensor. This has been replaced about 1 year ago by a bosch sensor.
Once the computer is reset the check engine light does not come back
on until I fill up my car again. Can the O2 sensor really go bad so
quickly and does it have anything to do with the gas cap?
Thanks!

It might be a rusted gasoline filler pipe. Clean the rust off the pipe and
the gas cap gasket. Apply a layer of thick grease to both surfaces and see
if that fixes it. com> wrote in message

Are you sure is O2 sensor? or are you talking about CO2?

I hope your motor oil is not flooding above the High level, some oil could
get into the combustion chamber and that oil could get burned going through
the exhausted pipe where the sensor is watching for poor quality gas, that
could very well be the cause of your CO2 sensor to go off, when this
happened you will see "Check Engine" light coming up.

Sensor shouldn't go bad so quickly.

If it is flooded, then pump off your oil through the same hole where you
check your oil. Go get a Wal-mart a hand pump to suck off some of your
motor oil. Problem should go away.

Another test you should do, you should switch the pump station, to see if
the problem will go away, if it did then maybe the other pump sold poor
quality gasoline.

Good luck.
