Hey, I was driving to work this morning, and my TCS, SLIP and CEL lights came on after a brief stop to dodge some turtles in the road. The RPMs dropped sharply and then it returned to normal, minus the three lights that stayed on...WHAT HAPPENED???

 

this happened to myself also, but minus the CEL.
i turned the car off and turned back on, and the lights have been gone since.

id like to know what made these lights turn on.

 

i had that problem a year ago. yes you can make the lights go off by cycling the key a few times, however, you may want to get your ignition coils checked out. i ended up replacing all 8 of mine over $800 bc i wasn't sure which one was bad and it is too much of a hassle to test each one. it requires getting used ones that you arent sure even work from a junkyard and whatnot and testing each individually. definitely get your car coded as a local nissan dealership. if the code reads engine misfire, then one or more of your ignition coils may be bad. hope that helps.

 

Sweet, you got the V8 trim? And a CONSULT-II based code reading at the dealer will take you for either an hour of labor or a diag fee, as opposed to reading the codes yourself or going to an auto parts store, which are both free.

 

my buddies 00 max jsut did this yesterday, and would stall out, tha nwe put gas in it and it couldnt rev over 2700 rpm.....turned out his MAF is bad again.

 

I had a similar problem...it was a MAF...

 

if i remember correctly, i read somewhere that a k&n drop in air filter can affect the maf's in our cars?
is this correct, should i go back to a oem air filter?
and if i go back to the oem filter, will the maf be ok?, or will that have to be replaced?

thanks for the help

 

yeah those v8 maxes are the bomb, i heard they run on helium!!!
