Clean your maf and TB. Check your IACV and clean/replace as necessary.

When the car is at idle, air is bypassed around the TB and into the engine using the IACV. If the IACV is messed up, then no air will flow into the engine, and to keep the car running, you have to give it gas to crack open the TB plate.

Sometimes cleaning the MAF and TB is the fix. Sometimes the IACV is so far gone, u need to replace it.

 

Lose the BLOSE and get a new system

 

I havent had a chance to clean anything but for some reason now when it stalls the friggin oil lamp comes on and the brake lamp and the car goes put put put dead.

 

how's your oil level? full? are you leaking anywhere?

 

The oil light comes on after it stalls? That's normal. The car is "ON" but it not sensing any oil pressure...

 

ok i think i got burned by a used MAF....took it to a mechanic and he said it might be the used maf causing the issue....gonna replace it with a new one....another 250 dollars down the drain..

 

I think I know why the new MAF was acting all ****ty....

 

 

the last guy i took it to used the old one and never replaced it......ugh....could this be the culprit...

 

unmetered air will definetly(sp) cause those symptoms you were describing...

 

Hello, Im new to this forum. Im from Finland sorry for my bad english in this matter.
(Nissan maxima 1999)
I'm about to buy a maxima and would like to know the difference between european maxima and american. I know the fact that the front/back lights are different, but what about body? if Im to buy a bodykit from america, would it fit the EU maxima without problems etc. etc. I tryed to post pictures but i dont know how to

 

Maybe some parts are, but the front fenders are shaped differently, most noticeably at the front tip. I would think that this shape difference would also make parts for the grill different.

I get my information from looking at a parts list. The website is Nissan4u.com. I looked at a Northern European Maxima and a USA maxima parts list. Here are 2 links for the front fenders.

This is the Northern European Maxima:

Hey everybody! I'm planning on doing a few upgrades on my 96 i30t:
Wheels, Cefiro headlights, Cefiro Sport VIP grille and Polyurethane Headlight Eyelids

Now I've been searching around and couldn't really find a straight forward answer so I'm hoping someone can help me.. I'm trying to figure out first, whether or not these tsw zolder 5: 19x8.5" -235/35R19 will fit without rubbing or do I need to lowering springs/ bolt adapters?


Second question is does anyone know where I can acquire one of these grilles with the mesh?? Is it just a Sport VIP grill with custom work?


And finally I'm gonna buy the one piece Cefiro headlights and eyelids. Do these http://www.paradox-systems.com/produ...roducts_id=158 maxima eyelids fit on a 96 i30t?

 

I tried replacing the master switch with a used one, but the problem persists. Yesterday I had a scare because my car would not start, no lights worked, had no power at all for about 5 minutes. I opened and shut the driver's door a couple of times, then everything worked and it started up. At the moment, I'm keeping my doors unlocked at all times so I can enter/exit the car and start it.

Should I try replacing the BCM next, or is there another way to find out if the MRCU is causing the issue before buying/installing another part? I've already installed a master switch and door lock actuator.

 

It will be snug but def shd fit.

 

wassup guys...I have a friend who is selling the 6 spoke rims from his 2001 nissan maxima...I have a 97 maxima...would these rims fit with no problem and if they do would I have to balance them or aything?

 

Yes, they'll fit.

Balance them? If there's a tire vibration, sure. If not, why?

 

Ok cool thanks a lot man

 

I have a few questions, hope its fine if i put them in one post instead of multi posting =).

1) Did 95 maxima GXE come with a stock alarm? I have an anti theft light that blinks when my car is off. But i don't know how to actually activate the alarm (if there is one) i don't have any buttons on my key, and turning the key to lock the door twice locks all doors, but no alarm is enabled.

2) [edit] I'm sure my car came with wireless key entry. I put the key in and out fast a few times (was actually less that everywhere said, everywhere said 6... mine did it in 4) and the hazards blinked twice. Now, for the 2nd part of the question that i have yet to figure out myself, will any kind of wireless car key work? EX. the universal remote keys on ebay. (search 4ch rf) http://www.ebay.com/itm/4CH-12V-DC-3...item5d30376e75

3) *most importanat* My passenger door key pins seem to be stuck. I can insert the key, but i cannot turn it to unlock or lock. I have to either A) go to driver door and unlock all doors then walk to passenger to get what i need, or b) unlock driver and reach to passenger side to get what i need. This is annoying as sometimes i may be in a hury to get what i need. the door DOES lock if the inside lock is locked via manually(from inside) or power through driver (outside/inside)

4) Is there any place i can buy ALL 4 doors + the ignition cylinder to match 1 key? I remember on an older vehicle i had to replace the ignition becuase the key was not working in it. I then had 2 keys, 1 for doors and 1 for starting the car, i dont want that. If i have to replace my passenger, i want them all to match to 1 key.

Thank you for any and all help given.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I am looking to sell my Maxima, but I can't post in the for sale thread Is there some crazy requirements to post in there?

 

yes. you can't post ANY NEW THREADS if you have under 15 posts.

You currently have 8, but you can't spam-post any of the forums or modpowers will ban your butt :-)

 

Well damn. Haha oh well. Only 6 posts to go. Btw if anyone has an STi I'm looking to trade (as well as add cash for one).

 

Could you do a VQ35DE swap into an automatic Maxima? Is it a direct fit? What about the ECU?

 

Im not sure what years will work. I have a 3.0 and I found a few for sale but I need to know if they will interchange ones a 99, ones a 98 ,ones a 97! Will any of these years work? Yhank you!

 

Yes. Depends on how you do it. What about it?

This has all been covered quite a bit, search or just read through AM, you'll find your answers.

Any '95-'01 VQ30 will work, you'll just need to swap your emissions equipment over depending on what you get.

 

Is there any sort of buyers guide thread on here for Gen 4 Maxima's?

 

Thank you very much!!

 

Is the hood lock, 62515, welded onto the upper radiator support? It's free from the lower radiator support by removing the bolts but it still stuck on the upper support. If it's welded should I drill it off then bolt it back up while installing?

 

Per site rules, I'm posting my question here. I'm newly learning DIY car maintenance, so please excuse any ignorance I may have.

When I start my 1997 Maxima SE, the engine make a low, moaning, groaning wooooooooomp wooooooooomp woooooooooomp sound. It generally goes away after the car has warmed up/been driven for a while.

I hear it more clearly while sitting in the driver's seat than with the hood up looking in the engine (not sure why). As such, I have not been able to pinpoint the sound other than generally on the driver's side (maybe in the back) of the engine.

Any ideas on what could be the culprit?

 

I believe it is spot welded in place, yes. Any spots where welds are removed for disassembly should be re-welded for reassembly.

Can you get an audio clip? I can't even begin to think of what that even sounds like, much less what it is.

 

Wassup org...Can i change front amber lights without removing the bumper and also installing the fog lights???

 

YES

Look @ the "how-to" sticky at teh top of the 4th gen subforum. you pop the corner lights (rearward-most ones) off, then unscrew the one holding the turn signal.

For the fogs, you push up and slide out teh black piece on the inside of the lenses. For my 99 there is no pop-up", just a plastic screw to undo and the section comes out.

 

Hey I was just wounding if anyone would know why my mid and side air vents work but not my defrost vents? I get lil to no air through them but my 4 dash vents still put off a lot of hot air...

 

Can you hear the blend door switching to the defrost position? If you put it on defrost, where is the air actually coming out of?

 

Just went and checked and I don't hear it and most of the air is coming out of the mid two vents but at a lower speed then the fan is set to

 

Blend door could be getting hung up, an actuator problem, something else. Did this just start happening?

Do you have automatic or manual climate control?

 

Sure they COULD fit, but you left out a small, but KEY, piece of information out......the offest. If the offset is wrong they could rub the fenders or springs

 

I have a manual cc and its been doing this for about 6-7 months now

 

HUH?
