Keep an eye on that heater core it is placed right above that ecu

 

 

This place is dead in the water, just like your ECU, and a certain someone had to lock a thread that was on it's way to epic status?

is correct.

 

That maxima is my baby i will not get rid of her shes got my heart imma just buy a new ecu and heater core or just get rod of that heater core system all together

 

I am going to put the ecu in rice

 

so you recommend that we drive with no heat? is that the proposed solution?

 

Big talk. Talk to us when you actually have that heater core replaced.

 

 

No i say replace that heater core asap if you havent or simply cancel it out im just waning you guys

 

No hate im just another maxima guy trying to keep it on the road alot of people tell me get rid of it no all the new cars are ****

 

IB4L.
Dude... you know this car was in production for 6 years. And our cars does have fried ECUs.

 

The engine is built like a tank it might not have a bunch of power but as long as it dont break down on me on the road im cool i like new maximas but the new engines suck the 3 g maxima with vg30e is the best in my opinion

Your ridiculous.

IBTL...AGAIN!

 

 

 

not a worry in a 2nd gen, just have to remember not to drive crazy while having a passenger with a weak bladder....

 

If you have a stock ECU it's not difficult or expensive to find a replacement. Keep a spare around if it makes you feel better, but replacing the heater core as "preventive maintenance" just isn't practical. If you happen to have a JWT or Nistune ECU you might want to find a way to protect it incase of a heater core leak. I personally took the covers off mine and reassembled them with liquid gasket maker and used it to fill in all holes along the sides. I also placed a piece of metal a little larger than the ECU itself right above it to deflect any water raining down (like a metal umbrella). Since I've never had a heater core leak I can't be certain these methods will work, but considering the cost and turn around time for these ECUs I felt I had to do something

 

^^ great advice.

 

whats the issue with the heater core? takes 5 minutes if that to replace it, you all act like you have to remove the whole dash or something to replace it

 

You must have missed his other thread.. He's not talking about replacing it...

 

I have an 03 6mt since day one. runs healthy, no issues, no mods either but has 160k miles. i just do typical maintenance and i know everything is always clean as far as fluids, plugs, belts, etc.

should i be worried or have an ecu as spare just in case.

 

 

No more whining about how hard it is to get to the heater core. Ya'll have it easy.

 

That's the blurriest picture I've ever seen...and I've watched scrambled ****.

 

It's resized to prevent spending the next week answering questions about what is what. Your "blurry" impression comes from the amount of wires and parts that are not supposed to be there, it looks the same regardless of the image size. The picture is entirely in focus.

 

i did mine in 4 minutes 57 seconds. This picture was taken 2 minutes 36 seconds into the job.

 

Hey look at that random wire hanging down, boy you better manage that cable or else..

You get it?

 

:smh:

 

SE? That's the VE motor which makes the car pretty quick. I had a VG and those are strong iron motors for boost. But I like my VQ better. Poor mans ls.

 

Not in 1990, sir.

 

This thread is weird...

 

Fixed.

 

all done..thanks for playing.
