Well, my maxima is going in storage this weekend. Gotta keep 'er out of the snow. Anyway, since it has been cold out, I have been noticing the smell of raw gas and it seems to be coming from somewhere in the engine compartment. I must address this issue, and my leaky tranny before I can do anything else. Where should I be checking?

 

rubber gas lines. check all.

 

Wherein relation to the engine bay are the fuel lines located. (Other than the clearly visible fuel filter.)

 

under the intake manifold. there are a bunch of threads about if you look around

 

Don't put it away, these cars are great in the snow!

I guess if you can afford it and have another car to drive, then that's great. Unfortunately that is not an option for me...

 

Research the stickies.

 

My max spent its whole life in miami until I bought it. I've had it a year and a half and refrain from driving it in the snow. I've never had a car with no indication of corrosion anywhere, and I enjoy it. I'm going to re-do the audio system and add some aftermarket parts over the winter. Goodbye maxima, hello '86 toyota tercel 4x4 wagon!

 

driving a max in the snow is the best.

 

driving a max in the 5" snow on a frozen lake 80mph -door first- is ultimax
