Thursday the car started acting funny and the check engine light came on. On my way home today it started to flash and I read that usually is a misfire code. I park the car left it and started to check which coil pack is out and the car just died and wouldn't start. I changed the coil packs and put in new plugs so I go to start it again and this happens

OK got it to start but I have a ton of fuel coming out the exhaust but the ses light is out

Maxima 97 SE

That my friend is a bad fuel injector and that is why their is raw fuel coming out of the back is because the fuel injector is dumping too much fuel and has broke. Same thing happened to me. Raw fuel was coming and it would make that sound when starting and it was bad fuel injectors. Until you get your fuel injectors fixed you can't drive or do anything. Also don't start the car because your spark plugs will go bad and you will have fuel in your engine oil but you probably do anyways now.

thanks I was just reading up on it, now time to get up extra early to change some injectors

Maxima 97 SE

Ok this how I fixed my hard start issues with my Nissan maxima 1997 se automatic. I had to make sure my fuel injectors were good and they were but not the pintle caps that hold the O-rings together. The pintle caps were cracked and as soon as I Fixed those the car would start right away on every start. Also bad pointless caps can cause misfires and raw fuel in exhaust. Then later on car would still start on the fisrt start but as soon as I would start after an 1-2 hours the car would start but would almost stall but it wouldn't and I figured it had to be a fuel pressure problem and it was. The fuel pressure regulator was good as I had a new oem one on. That left me to the fuel pump. I had put a an oem fuel pump that had 129,000 miles that I thought would run good but now I know no matter how many miles the pump has it can still be bad and it was luckily I had a oem Nissan fuel pump from 1995 Nissan maxima with only 176,000 miles and now no more problems. its been two weeks and now im finally happy that I don't have to work on my car anymore or worry about the starting because after 1 whole year it's finally gone. Its gone and now I am getting more gas millage as I filled my tank with premium 91 and I still a half of a tank with 180 miles. Im hoping to get at least 300 miles with a full tank of gas now that the car has no problems with 303,396 miles on it. Now if I can get 300 miles from my maxima now where I used to 260 miles with a full tank that would kick *** and I would be happy.
