The only 2 complaints I had with the ECU in my 99 was that if I left my car running in the winter to fill up with gas, as soon as I unscrewed the gas cap, the car died. Other issue was the idle was raised to around 900-950rpms. Not sure why it did that with the JWT ECU.

As an added bonus, for anyone who has the crappy 99 key that breaks to easily, if you have a modified 96 JWT ECU in your 99, you could use a 95-98 Maxima key. Whatever JWT did to make the 96 ECU work in the 99, they disabled the feature that links to the chip in the key.

I sold mine to i30dvr. 97_Roadrunner is now the owner of it. Perhaps you can contact them as well to get their thoughts.

And back to off topic nonsense



According to my PB comapred to your latest track snafu, some people may think you're serious.

Either way, you or S3 have contributed nothing to this thread, so stop looking like morons.

i wonder what is the difference between a 99 fed spec max, and a 97-98 fed spec maximas? The only thing that comes to mind is the different egr set up, and immobilizer?.. other than that, i wonder if you can plug a tuned 96 fed spec ecu into a 99?

And I probably look like a moron arguing with you, but not as much of a moron as you do when you drive your car

I'll be back to field more questions about the EU, if there are any.
