take em out Rocky.If all of this started after they were installed, try working backwords now.

i had a similar issue when i put in my spacers.. car was running like sh*t tha day we put them on and the next day too.. hesitant start and extremely rich.. the caqr would bog out at wot... i drove it around for 2 days and it went back to normalstill running rich and backfiring like crazy but responds good.. ur car might just need some tunning like mine does.

good to know. i dont have a bogging issue tho - the only issue i have is during start when the engine is warm. when its cold it runs like a champ.



yo do you think you can help me with the R34 install in a couple of weeks?
im not lookin forward to having to redrill holes to make them fit.

That y-pipe talk is the biggest crock of dudu I've ever heard. There are plenty of people that have ONLY y-pipe &/or headers and do not have problems. I had full Cattman headers on for about a year on my 5.5 gen before I decided to get a b-pipe. And even then, to this day I still sport my stock muffler. A friend of mine has had his Maxima for nearly 7 years and 6 of them have been spent w/ ONLY a y-pipe and no other exhaust work.

As for the NWP spacers deal, maybe you fubar'd the install.

on working backward on the install.

im not post whoring or whate ever you guys call this but, having a vacuum leak can cause your car idle high after sitting at a long light? whats the normal rev your cars rev when you first start it after you leave it over night? 2k to 2.5k? im only asking because, op said that and i want to learn.

no i didnt say a leak caused high idle, it caused sputtering or irratic idle when in D.


and my car, when cold, usually jumps to about 1200-1500 before settling down

im not sayin the spacers made me run rich, cuz i was running rich before but it does indeed backfire alot more now with the spacers. im just saying that with that handful of upgrades u might need to get the car tuned as im having to go through.. i spoek with aaron about the subject and i agree with him. it might be a fault in the installation.. yea sure i can help out with the headlights. no drilling needs to be done, its very simple

I would check the the coils, i was thinking about what u where saying and i had the same problem about a year ago. I didn't get a code for it. You can check them with a Ohm reader.There was a right-up on the org, I'll see if i can find it.

I aint a genius, but have you checked your knock sensor? o_O

so what is the verdict?

i think he replaced his knock sensor about a month and a half ago.

Im currently having a problem with my 96 maxima. When i get out of the car while the car is running i can smell gas like it is running rich not a gas leak. My car has 170k on it. the spark plugs seem pretty good i checked them. I have 2 CEL on P0136 o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 and P0500 Vehicle speed sensor malfunction. I just replaced the water pump. It has a y pipe and a test pipe and a jwt pop charger. It was not running rich like this when i bought this a month ago. my question is what could it possibly be? is it possible that when i was detentioning the timing chain i skipped a tooth and maybe advanced the timing?? I know P0136 does not affect the fuel ratio because its after the cat. My fuel mileage has significantly dropped like 5mpg..The engine runs fine idles fine drives fine everything..

make your own thread buddy.

cant it wont let me i dont have enought posts i guess and instead of telling me to start my own thread why dont u be helpful and give me some advice i could use not something stupid
