I think my starter might be bad. When I start my car, especially on cold days, it starts up for a second, the the RPM's drop down and it stalls out. If I just rev it for a sec to keep the RPM's up, it's fine. It also tends to make a weird "grinding" noise when I start it sometimes, even if the engine is already warm. Does that sound like a starter issue? Anyone else had this problem? If so, do they make aftermarket starters that are better than OEM (like Bosch)? Anyone know any good sites where I can get em cheap? Thanks

A starter is a starter.....any kind you get will most likely be a remanufactured NISSAN one.

i think you want like a high trq starter.that is not really needed. i doubt there are many maxima's out there with comp. higher than 13:1:1. so a general nisan reman. is fine.

you have 2 diffrent problems here my friend. clean your t/b and change your starter.

your stalling cause of your t/b being dirty and of course the grinding noise is your starter.
i had the same issues with the stalling right after start, cleaned the t/b and blamm. works great with no stalling right at start..

When my starter died I got a high torque starter. It's still made for a nissan, but it works pretty well.

I had the same problem. I had to replace starter, knock sensor, evaporation canister (not sure if all three are connected with the problems though)

You can get a starter from autozone or a place like that, just have them to look up your vin number and they'll tell you exactly which one you need.

make sure when you buy your starter that it has 10 theeth, not 8
