So you could have a problem with your oil sensor, or your oil filter isn't tightened properly, and you may need a new water pump or hose! Who knows? I suggest you get your problem diagnosed first and quit running around saying "the sky is falling."
wo wo wo lets back the maxima train up....lke murdoch said y dont u have a professional or an ORGER in ur area look at it before u think u need a new motor....it could be many things that cost WAYYYYYYYY less then a motor swap......
well i cant drive it anywhere -i dunno ive been thinkin bout it and i atleast need a rebuild -def valve cover gaskets and an anti freeze line somewhere-it also jumps all over the rpm band and even pops into gear now -all of this after trying to install new valve cover gaskets
You could spend a little less than a G. to rebuild your engine. I would imagine that's easier than buying an engine around 600 - 800 than having it getting it installed. Go to Shea Stadium though and look over there at the Junk Yards I'm sure you can get some answers.

DUDE...r u serious??...a new motor is highly unlikely...call up a towing company and have it towed to a TRUSTY mechanic and have them DIAGNOSE your problem...who the heck has a problem and starts babbling about a bad motor????

Wow everyone is kinda attacking him, he's a little freaked out cause his engine seems like its about to die out on him.
like stated have your engine checked out, preferable have a knowlegable org member meet you and check it out with you (offer them some beer or some food), coolant leak good chance is the water pump which is a task to ge to but a cheaper one than a new engine. post back with your findings.

i thynk you need a quality technician to look @ your engine. A new engine is highly unlikely just as everyone else had stated.

no one caught this? obviously if the car was running fine prior to your replacing valve cover gaskets, so you screwed something up. if its leaking oil, dontcha think it may be comming from say...................... the valve cover gaskets? im pretty sure you have to remove the intake to do valve gaskets, so you probably have a vacuum leak from that (making the car run like crap)and the coolant leak is from that also(coolant usually flows through the intake). take it to a mechaninc and have him/her fix it properly. end of storyOriginally Posted by 97maxxx
