What kind of engine does a 1997 Nissan have?
This question came from a reader who owns a 1997 Nissan pickup truck. The small engine in this truck is similar to many other engines in Nissans and other makes. Most of them operate in a similar manner and regulate the engine’s idle speed using the same systems, so this information is useful for many car owners.
Once the engine has arrived at operating temperature, go back to the carburetor and adjust the air fuel mixture screw, or screws. Tightening the screw increases the amount of fuel, while loosening decreases the amount of fuel. When making any adjustments, it is also important to make them in small increments of a quarter turn.
