hi guys i just took out the injectors off the car. Its a 94 maxima, i was trying to check the resistance on them, one of them does not give me any reading, three of them give me around 11- 11.6 the fifth one is about 26 and the last one is about 46. All these reading are taken using a volt meter on the ohm setting. Plz tell me if the resistance has to same on all of them or what. Plz help

 

They're all independent. One being faulty isn't going to ruin the others or anything. You are going to want to at least replace the one that reads zero though. Even if it works, it won't for long.

 

is it ve? if so i have extras. used of course. 5 good ones.

 

acceptable range is 10-14... meaning 14 is the highest Ohm rating you can get away with. you need 3 injectors (including the no-reading one)

 

its a gxe with yellow marking

 

 

hi, what does the injector do if the reading is over the exceptable range?

 

dumps too much fuel, or not enough, or only works sometimes, etc.

 

mine are all red.

 

that's b/c you have a VE. all GXEs have VGs, and both my SEs have VGs but your late SE is a VE..... so they are shared w/ the 4th gen but not the VG

 

well according to the experts here at maxima forum i should have all yellow. thanx for rep. and i am not sure if the red ones are gonna work or not, or do i need all same color.

 

red is for the 24valve VE. yellow and (green???) are for your VG30E engine. If you get a whole set you can use either yellow or (green???). otherwise always match with what you already have.

 

would the connectors on the green ones work with the yellow?

 

i dunno.... i've never even looked for the dots on mine. i know that 89-92 has a different connector from 93-94. maybe that's what the deal is with the dots.

 

I need to stop reading only half of posts. You need at least 3 like dead Batman said, not at least 1 like I said. Thought you said they were all ~11 except for the 0. It's a VG..i'd do all 6 now so you don't have to worry later.

 

you are the ONLY one who gets how my username came about! when i first made this username (on flashflashrevolution.com) i was under the impression that "cadaver" rhymed with "crusader".... it doesn't, but i liked the result nonetheless.

i digress

+1 on doing all 6...... because if you don't, when another one dies you're gonna have to take alllll that crap off to get to them again.

oh, and under NO circumstances, even if held at gunpoint, shall you purchase either Venom or remanufactured injectors. ONLY purchase new bosch injectors. you'll thank us later.

 

i would do the six but i cant afford them. thats like $774 plus tax.

then hold out one more paycheck, until you can...

 

he has veggieburger. VG ... nissan burger... it all makes sense amirite?

 

yes, but you need to go to bed. you are tired.... getting very tired... and hungry. you want some nachos... make yourself a plate of nachos, and go to bed...

i think that is happening again.

 

lol I thought Thanatos was wanting 5 ve injectors...

 

not to me, I havent been able to get ahold of the guy who stole if from the other guy who had a case of the sniffles, who got it from the guy who likes cherries, who got them from the guy who eats bananas, who got them from the girl who rides a motorcycle, who got it from the guy who... well, you get my drift.

 

nah thanatos has some available.

 

I know that now, but when I posted the post that I deleted, I didn't

 

looks like you guys are having alot of fun!

 

Hello guys...

My 94 gxe started to cut out on me the other nite...was able to make it to the next town. Had the car towed to the local dealer...they found a fouled plug. So i had them do a tune up...wires plugs rotor and cap and injector flush.

However when i picked it up today...the car seems to run rough when starting out from a dead stop. Most people might not noticed...

Talking to a buddy journeyman tech...he says that sometime this happens when customers bring in their cars ...picked them up and come back complaining about rough idle or something...that the injectors have to be dealt with again...

This has been a great car...i like the styling and avoid getting door dings.....I called and complained to the dealer...he said to bring it back and would lend me a rental car...

It seems this model (third generation ) is like a cult car ...or has a lot of interest.....as a lot of you i have read look for beaters to rebuild...

Any advice or opinions appreciated ...Starrider...(the name comes from love of riding at night under the stars)...Thanks!

 

yea it is sort of a cult car. anyhow it's possible (and decently likely) that the reason the plug was fouled is because of a bad injector. simply flushing the injectors will not fix an injector that is electrically dead/dying. check the ohms on them w/ a multimeter. 10-14ohms is good... which one was it (front or rear bank, and passengerside, middle or driverside)? the frontbank's passenger side is the only one you can't test at the injector itself. you have to unhook the subharness and test the resistance between two of the pins on there but i can't say which b/c i don't have a clear picture... whichever is white/red and red/black that's what you test for #2 i think.

 

most flushes are cleaners as well, so that may have caused some issues

 

sold !!

............update
Tough day today...as i said...car made to the next town barely...Dealer found a fouled plug and so new wire cap rotor and injector flush was done...

However...this did not solve the hesitation and misfire problems at freeway speeds...so i took it back...The tech drove it...and noticed the hesitation again right off even after he had worked on it. Because it was intermitant...and running normally in all test...he couldn't go any further and suggested i leave it.

Decided...not to as it would probably sit in the garage all week...collecting dust. So i drove it back...2 hour drive...the last forty miles...it started missing again...drove it easy with a steady light foot on the accelerator...

Any suggestions appreciated...Thanks in advance! Starrider

 

see where it says "[/quote" in your post? edit it and finish that off with another ] as I did when i quoted you just now

i'm still betting that you have an injector dying.... the way injectors fail is reminiscent of a fluorescent light tube... you can clean the glass all you want but once it starts flickering, it's all over but the crying.

whip out a multimeter and test the resistance on the injectors, or have the mechanic do it if you don't want to do it yourself. 10-14 ohms is the only acceptable reading. for injector 2, you'll have to test it from the connector under the EGR valve. black/red and red/white are the wires for #2 iirc.

Yes...reading from this post the day before seeing the dealer...after they said nothing could be done...i got asked the tech to check the ohm 1-14 injector readings...and so they spent another hour. So the tech 'says' the reading were ok? And so i left.

Thanks for the reply...Starrider

 

hmm. I'd test them again myself just to be sure... some things on our cars are less intuitive than others so he may not have known how to properly test the front set of injectors (rears are easy b/c they're out in the open)

 

Thanks CapedCadaver...they the home dealer is working on it now...service writer says they can't figure out why the vacuum (erg) is so high?

Yes i asked them if they rechecked the injectors...and service guy said they were checked ...ok...so any suggestions opinions appreciated...

I can buy a new one...just like this one body style and you can still see the darn engine...lol....

Thanks a bunch...ideas welcome! Starrider

ps...we'll get the hang of working this site...not real computer savy.

 

Keeping in touch with service...they think the high vacuum (erg) is cause by the throttle body...hence suggest to remove and clean it to start with...and no guarantees...So i figure if they are going to do that...just give me a new throttle body rather than to spend the money on labor (4hours). At least i will have a new part even if that doesn't solve the problem...

And then there is the internal timing belt that is due for a change...yikes!

Starrider...your thoughts appreciated!

 

Okay...the plan is to replace the throttle body and see if that solves the problem.......However...need to find one...The only way to get one for my car is to order it from Japan.....

Where do you guys get your parts?

Starrider

 

junkyards. unless your mechanic can provide a real reason why the TB needs to be relpaced, then cleaning it will be MORE than sufficient. it's just since our cars have an EGR system, dirty carbon stuff builds up but a can of TB cleaner and a toothbrush will take care of that right away.

 

Well cleaning is what service suggest...3-4 hours labour or about 400 dollars. A new one from Japan cost about 573 dollars...if they still have them. On the service screen that it is still listed.

So i figured ...why not a new part instead of spending on labour and if that didn't solve the problem...at least i would have a new TB.....Junk yards...wow! This car only has 85000 original miles...change the oil every three throusand...now using Mobil 1 synthetic...junk yards....jeese!
