I just bought a starter today and installed it. My car is running pretty hot on idle. It idles around 900 rpm in park and neutral. When I step on the gas and rev the engine up to 2500 the car gets real rough and shaky. If i try to go higher it will cut off. I took it out on the road and was able to drive, but I had to drive slow enough not to rev up to 2500. I checked my engine check codes and got this:

0504 auto trann control signal to ecu
0102 mass air flow sensor
0304 knock sensor

Thank you for the detailed report of symptoms.

The 0102 Mass Air Flow Sensor is the most urgent of these three codes. The MAFS is located just downstream of the air filter. You removed some or all of the air intake ductwork in the course of your starter replacement job. Please verify that you have securely fastened the connector to the MAFS. Then reset the Engine Control Module and drive the car normally. Let's hope that is all you need to restore your Maxima to good running condition.

My car is back to beautiful

We've done it Igor!!! We've done it!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Daniel and Deezo for all your help and patience.

I am happy for you man!!!! Keep in touch.

I love my smooth driving Maxima. I had to drive a civic for a week until my car was up and running again. It felt so good to step on the gas.

I know what you mean. When my car was having bodywork done, my rental was an Altima. Boy was I glad to get back into my Max.

I know the feeling too, try driving a stock max for almost 3 weeks! I was about to go crazy. I am so happy my I30 is back up to snuff!

So have you decided whether you are going to Jersey?

I will probably be there, as long as I don't break anything between now and then.

How about this emax, driving a 4 banger camry for a week, then driving a POS Lumina for another week. Boy was that hell.

Doh! 12 months!
Gee thanks Emax...

LOL, thats wierd becuase I had to drive 99 Lumina{Base model} for a freakin Month last year! I hated that damn thing, I remember doing some crazy dounuts with it though ,you have to look at the bright side of a rental.
