I HAVE AN 84 MAXIMA I JUST BOUGHT IT HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT AND RAN OK UNTILL YESTERDAY WHEN IT STALLED. IT WOULDNT REFIRE BUT WHEN I TRIED IT TWO HOURS LATER IT STARTED RIGHT UP IT RUNS GOOD UNLESS YOU GET OVER 3000 RPMS THEN IT STALLS AGAIN AND REQUIRES A HALF HOUR TILL IT WILL REFIRE.I CHECKED FOR SPARK WHEN ITS DEAD AND THAT SEEMS OK POSSIBLY FUEL PUMP RELATED? SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS TO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM.? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ALSO DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE A FACTORY MANUAL THEY MIGHT WANT TO SELL OR ANY IDEA ON WERE TO GET ONE? THANKS, (BY THE WAY MY USER NAME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRUGS I BUILD SILAGE BAGGERS FOR A LIVING)

 

DId ya fix it? Mine does the same thing...

 

I am by no means the expert.......but have replaced the following on my 85 with over 250K miles...
1. Air regulator (see sticky to modify)
2. CHTS
3. Mass Air Flow Sensor

If it was me....I was to look first I would look at the Air Regulator first!!!

 

they do not have the same motors second gens do

 

On my 88 thats what it did when the MAF sensor went out

 

Fuel Injector(s)?

 

That sounds tricky enough. You can usually get a 1984 Nissan Maxima service manual on ebay. When is the last time you replaced your fuel
filter? I usually start with the least expensive options when I don't know what's causeing the problem.

 

its da maf!

 

thats what id say.....

 

I have an 86 Maxima the fuel pump runs when you turn the key on and then it don't seem to work any after that. It starts and runs and then dies. Thanks for any help. Steve

 

My 84 Maxima was sitting in a garage for a few years until I recently brought it out. When I started it up it would run for a few seconds and then quit.
I eventually disconnected the battery, and took a look at the fuel pump which is outside the gas tank. It had rust on the electrical connections. I removed the fuel pump, cleaned the connections, reinstalled the fuel pump and it started right up and kept running.

 

Mine has sit for a year or so it had belong to my Dad. Mine has the fuel pump in the tank.

 

you say the fuel pump runs when you turn the key? do you mean the car runs, or the fuel pump? .. can you hear the pump?

 

hi, i have a 00 maxima it was running fine i live in chicago so when the cold starts in the morning when i start the car i have to wait until it warm a litle because if i want to put the car in drive sometime it stalls or misfires, i get the code p1320 it says the coils, any help, because after it warms there is no problem with the car.

 

for that specific problem you should try and ask in the 5th gen forums, but only once you have done 15 WORTHWHILE RESPONSES in other ppls threads. Don't just postwhore to get to 15, you can get banned for that. Good luck fixing your problem

 

So the car dies. We let it sit for a year cause it's my mom in law's and she got to feeble to drive. Now son is 16 and want him to drive it.

Years ago, it engine would turn over but not fire. Open the hood, bang on the relays that were clicking and clicking would stop, engine would fire up and run. Replaced relay. Then stop cranking. We let it sit.

Now I put a new battery in and WA LA! Fires right up! Drove to the local gas station, fill er up, and back home. Then, no start. Fuel pump works well when hot wired. But absolutely won't pump gas when starter turning.

Just bought a good running 87 sedan for $300 (with slipping tranny- blackened fluid) so have a wealth of parts.

I've replaced all the relays and fuel pump fuse. But no fuel pumping.

Any ideas?

BTW, we are trying to get the Wagon on the road. Sedan is donor car.

i have an 82 automatic and sometimes it will just die randomly and not want to fire back up, i usually have to wait or keep trying. i was thinking it was an ecu/electrical or sensor type problem. anyone have this problem with the 1st gen l24e?
