I was thinking since my 92 maxi gxe idles rough and it takes a sec or two to start up and has bad gas and loss of power I've check my injectors and cap and rotor I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the timing belt or tensioner

fix your injector problem. Timing belt is not your problem

1989 -1994 Nissan Maxima GXE = Timing Belt
1989 -1991 Nissan Maxima SE = Timing Belt
1992 -1994 Nissan Maxima SE = Timing Chain

No they have belts and my injectors are good filter is good

I used to have the same problem when I brought out my Maxima from a multi year hibernation.

I changed the MAF, spark plugs, wires, and fuel filter. That fixed the problem about 95%...enough so it was still decently driveable. But after I changed the timing bet, everything was solved 100%...drives and idles smooth as butter

You said yourself they aren't. FIX YOUR INJECTOR ISSUE!

They all have a reading of 12 ohm they are good I'm sure of

I cleaned up the connectors and replace the one bad injector from one I got from wrecking yard

Why wont you stop thinking and start listening and doing?

You have bad gas? .............. then what the hell are you posting here for - go fix the issue - drain the tank and replace it with good quality stuff before you brag about knowing about it.

If you have error code 51 you have error code 51 and a timing belt or anything to do with it cannot possibly cause that - while you have error code 51 you WILL have a loss of power - now get off your backside and do something about it rather than think about it.

As usual unchallenged nonsense posts re injectors being 100% ok when measured around 12 Ohm here is responsible for garbage and useless threads like this



Injectors contain an electrical and a mechanical part .................. being able to measure 12 Ohm coil resistance says absolutely nothing about the mechanical integrity of the injector - it simply says the coil resistance is OK. The injector can still mechanically malfunction and you can even have a leaking O-ring/s on those 2 funky cylinders - you yourself said the 2 cylinders are not contributing to the engine's health in the other thread.

Now stop buggering around and listen to sanity as posted many times in the other thread of yours - if the injectors measure fine ito resistance then it must be a mechanical issue with the injector or cylinder or inlet - go pull the damn injectors and look for the problem

So what? ........................ how do you know THAT injector is fine? - did it change the engine's behavior at all? ....................... in the other thread you said you have 2 funky cylinders not doing anything - why then change only a single injector?.

Work with the people here and you will get sorted pronto .................... alternatively you will get crapped on pronto too.

Alright damn man the only new fuel injectors I found were 150 for one I'm not gonna go spend 1200 on all new injectors when I'm done doing everything people tell me then I'll post the updates sound good

Do what these guys did to see. This what I did to test mine to see what they were doing. Come to find out mine was the o-ring.

This is why I say you need to be more pro-active and participate properly.

No need to spend that lot of money - simple test is to simply move an injector from a known working cylinder to the funky cylinder's rail position - if the problem moves with the swap you know for a guaranteed fact its the injector and you can spend the money on a new injector with a clear conscience - anything else is just a guess

fnally started investigating what went wrong with my built VG....The fwd bank cam seems to have come to a sudden stop like something came loose on top....pulling IM and valve cover next....I've been really busy with training for my new job and haven't had time for crap!!!! These cams are Isky cams and I hope they're not damaged!

I hope they aren't either. Gl man. Hopefully I'll have my issue resolved my the weekend.

A lifter broke and locked the cam, I'm glad to see it's something else and not a timing belt issue......

Sorry man .......... bad luck.

Any pics of the dead lifter if you can?

woooo man at least u don't have to go back in that area. Well let me know how many valves were sacrificed. are u gonna add the jwt springs to ur arsenal When u start the reassembly?

CMax03

JWT spring and maybe even some Ferrea oversized intake and exhaust valves......

I think that may be my next/last mod. The only one I don't have. Of course after I get mine running the way I want her too.

Of course I meant Ferrea springs and valves since JWT only makes ecus for the VE.

I'm going with JWT springs and maybe Ferrea Oversized valves (just maybe).....
