Well, I've had this crazy sputter problem with my SE for months and I believe to have solved it. I decided to start unpluging ignition coils with it running and noticed when one of them was disconnected the RPMs never changed and pulling out my old chiltons I decided to test my Ignition module. WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?.......not only one but 2 of my contacts checked bad.....what I'm really getting to is, does any one have a tested (working properly) ignition module that I could take off thier hands? $350.00 is just too much for a brand new one on my pathetic Military salary. Thanks:attention

 

what module did you test??
a 93 SE is coil on plug. no conventional module that I can recall.

 

The chiltons calls it a resistor....

 

pic?
chiltons usually totally ignores the VE motor.

 

I think you mean the ingition transisitor or module. It's on the rear of the engine, at the rear of the camshaft. They're hideously expensive. Try a junkyard. They don't seem to be an item that is shot after 10 years.

 

i think he means the power transistor

 

I believe thats an ignitor. Mounted to the Drivers side front of the head? 2 nice big ~2in long plugs?

I'll check tomorrow if I have one available

 

module = ignitor.
different ways of saying the same thing

 

I have one I will sell. PM me with a price you want to pay if interested.

 

I think I have the same thing. Did the sputtering occur when cold or when warmed up? What other symptoms did you have?
THanks

 

Why the hell are they crushing all the SEs in this damn town? I hit up 8 different salvage yards and apparently all the 3rd gen SEs are crushed with no parts to salvage. One place even said we dont accept "Maxipads". So, I guess I have a bloody tampon in my driveway So, if anyone has one that is working, I'm willing to pay $50 for it. I've got a tight budget with more stuff to change on her. thanks

 

^^ check your PMs.

 

China want's all our scrap metal,that's the reason yards are crushing most of their older cars,not just maximas..

Scrap metal is up to $9 per hundred lbs here...

 

So, I got one from someone on here. Not placing any blame but it was a crap part. car didnt even wanna start after I put it on there. once I put mine back on it cranked like a champ but still ran the same (obviously). So, I'm back on the hunt for one. so anybody got one they wanna let go cheap?

 

I have a used one for sale,and will test it on my maxima before i sell it to anyone...

 

how much you willing to let it got for? if it works of course

 

You gots pm..

 

My bad -- I didn't look it over carefully. I looked at it and it didn't seem cracked or damaged. That could have possibly happened during shipping.

I think that one had come from my JDM engine. It wasn't even dirty and I assumed it worked, since the JDMs are supposed to be "low mile."

I fully refunded your money, even the shipping cost.

 

Thanks bro. it was still good doing business with you. Hope to do somemore If I need somethin in the future, if you have what it need of course

 

again I am sorry.

I am starting to run out of spare parts. I slowly got rid of all the junk I accumulated. I even had the car for sale, but no one wants it for the price I am asking.

good luck with your car.

 

I have a spare one of those if anyone wants to make an offer.

 

Thanks to MyGreenMax94, I got her running damn near perfect. I think she just needs a tune up now. oh and a water pump.....i gots a little coolant leak!

Oh and to my boy! hes still 6 yrs younger than my Max
