Vibration issue solved
Vibration issue solved
Lately my 92 GXE auto tranny, started to vibrate at idle speed and it was even worse when the transmission selector lever was on “D”. I replaced spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter and checked the spark plug wires impedance and it was OK so I did not change them. It got a little better but definitely was not as smooth as it used to be. I went through the stickies and through several posts on this forum, I have found some tips to troubleshoot this issue, so I started to look for a vacuum leak. All the little hoses were not leaking, so I disassembled the air filter housing because I thought there could be something clogged. I have found that there is a kind of gasket in the union between the air filter housing and the air pipe (the one to the left of the MAF sensor); it was in very bad shape totally worn. I could not find a replacement part (I’m in Mexico and there are no suppliers for maxima parts other than a dealer) so I rebuild it with gasket maker (the one that is sensor safe), assembled everything back together and the smoothness came back again, no more vibration at all.
I hope this helps others.
