Common 4th gen problems, is timing chain a problem?
So i've already replaced an ignition coil in my 1999, but what else is a common problem??? My friend had to replace his timing chain thats costed like 2grand. I have 67,000 miles, but i have yet to hear about timing chains giving up from ppl on the org.

rofl 2grand for a timing chain...it should be somewhere around 200 i'd say cause you have to lift the motor up somewhat to put on the chain. As for them giving out you would definetly fell if it's bad.

Read some of the stickys in the 4th gen section. It will point out commons problems and the easiest way to fix them, but as for the timing chain like njmaxseltd said they should last the life of the motor.

From the stickies:
Does my 4th gen need a timing belt replacement?
No.
All VQ equiped Maximas (1995 - on) use a dual stage timing chain. This needs no periodic maintenace or replacement. It is designed to last the life of the engine. This is a very good thing.
Your friend got raped for that price, he could of gotten another car for that $.
