His maxima is swapped he did the work everything looks okay but it sounds like a fuel pump. Symtoms are power loss in lower gears almost like what a bad maf does but the maf is good. 96 maxima se 5Speed, 2003 vq35 from a maxima. The 3.0 swap was used and fuel lines are on correctly and fuel pressure regulator is set to 52psi. Anyone have any input on what it could be?
