Can anyone help me figure out why my exhaust putts when i start the car?? i happens for about 5 min after i start the car everytime i start it unless i just turned it off. instead of having a clean sounding vroooom to the exhaust it sound like a domestic!!! also, the check engine light keeps turning on and off.... i checked the code and it was an 05 05, that came out to be no error or something like that. i was thinking maybe a sensor is bad??? And my max feels slower plus the motor is ticking a lot more then i remember... blahblahblah.... help

if your engine is tapping and your idle sucks take a look at your valve train

I know that if you don't reset the computer properly, it will flash the CEL on and off constantly, with no apparent pattern while driving.

I think this is actually an O2 Diagnostics thing. I forget how it works, but I read it I think in the Chilton's manual...I'll have to look it up.

Anyway, did you reset it correctly?

sounding like a domestic is bad because... I DRIVE AND IMPORT!!

this is the first time that i've ever seen the ECU, so it just went on and off on it's own.. i was thinking it was the spark plugs or the o2 sensor but i wasn't sure.. i went to nissan on my break today (fri) and they said it may be the spark plugs. i'm gonna put the factory spark plugs back in the car sunday when i have time and see if that works. shouldn't the ecu pull some kind of error code if the CEL is on?!?! i used to love my max till nissan said they'd "fix" it....
