Hi, I have a Dualis (Qashqai) 2.0 liter auto. Recently I have a problem with the car where it would not start. I change the oxygen sensor and spark plug but the problem did not solve. Can any buddy help me?

Hello,

Yes, lets get started and get you back on the road. Lets start from the basics. Does the engine have compression? Here is a guide to confirm and check if the timing chain or belt is okay:

1. Does the engine have compression?.
Yes, the compression is not the problem. But my exhaust pipe had so many carbon core. After clean it, it still not running.
2. Timing chain is okay.
Change spark plug coil, then the engine running again. But the engine RPM not stable. Reset all
code, then okey.
