I had about 5 months of great times with my HB special edition, and now this car is becoming a nightmare.
I was driving to Philadelphia from Cincinnati, and just west of Pittsburgh the car lost all acceleration and stalled. Luckily I was 10 miles away from a Nissan dealership and the roadside assistance covered my tow. They told me it was a blown fuel pump fuse. They replaced it, and I continued on. A month later I'm driving home from work, the same thing. The dealership where I bought the car said it was the fuel pump and the fuse, and they replaced both.
The day I pick the car up, I drive to Missouri to visit some family. On the way the "loose fuel cap" message appears in the odometer. Strange, I always tighten it down. I tight the cap, and clear that. It doesn't appear the rest of my trip.
I then put in the Takeda short intake I bought from Versaspeed (awesome service from Bob btw). About 5 days after that, I get a "service engine soon" lamp. Damn! I messed something up I'm thinking. I have a code scanner and it tells me P0455. Weird. I tighten down the cap (not loose), and clear the error. Two days later it's back but this time a P0456 error. I take it in to a different local dealership (with a better reputation) and they tell me it's the gas cap. They replace it, and three days later I get another "loose fuel cap" in the odometer. I clear it, and now I get a "service engine soon" lamp with P0456 again....
I'm worried the intake is the cause, but I doubt that. I think that I may have only poorly made Versa in the country....
I'm heading back to the dealer to clear the error so I can get it documented, but I'm about to be in the lemon territory here. 14,000 miles, car is 8 months old. One more problem of the same kind, and according to Ohio lemon law I have a lemon.
I guess my question is, any thoughts? Could my intake cause these errors even though the first "loose fuel cap" popped up before I put in the intake?
