Hey guys are was driving today and my check egine went on adn my car lost all of it power.. Felt really bad and on the light it started to smell like ****.. Like ROTIN Eggs... Any idea what i could be my car is a 2000 max se and with 70k miles

 

sounds like you burnt something...........so car wont start? wont move...wont idle? your pretty vague.

 

nah.. drives but it just feels like a 4 beater not a 6 any more but... and sometimes the checkengine blinks and it that when it suxs but if it goes off it drives like a max agian

 

I think I know what smell you are talking about. People have told me that the smell is from a cat. going bad. This could explain the smell and loss of power from blockage. do you have any mods?

 

if the CEL is blinking, thats usually a misfire...thtas bad...hahahah

 

But see it doesnt all ways do that
its only once in a while
and have no mods and only use 93..

 

Coil packs? getting bad MPG too probably?

 

Thats what i was thinking maybe the coils.. But i had a 95 before it went 136000 never changed any coils or anything

 

Does is start easily or with difficulty?

 

ive Heard that the 2000 coils can be problematic. Go to the dealer and see what they say. Hopefully you still have some warrantee left. Ask the dealer about the TSB on the coils.

Ive also heard that if your coil packs have a silver dot on them that they are the new ones that dont seem to have problems. You could check those.?

Good luck

 

it starts fine

 

Here let me be more specific...
It drives very well untill some times it will lose alot of power and you will feel alot of vibartion in the shifter and on in the car from the engine.. And thats when the SES light goes on... But if you drive it off it works fine again.. and it just happens when it feels like happen..

One more question is there a TSB for the coils on the max.. I hread there was

Maybe one of these

 

Will it work if your Warranty has already ended?

 

So what do you guys thing the problem is.. And how much does Autozone want for ses read

 

Get the computer scanned, it should have stored a code sayin what the problem was, and yes autozone should be able to do it, usually it's free.

 

Yeah i will shot over there today see what they can say because when i started it this morning it had the SES light on

 

im having the same problem i know the smell he is reffering too, it was when you push the car hard and then you slow down a bad smell comes in (like rotten eggs). Also the car will rumble like if it is going to turn off .I took it to autozone and they pulled this code:P1320 coil miss fire. So im guessing thats your problem as well. Talk to DaveB about this he will hook you up.

Note: I have the same car as well .

 

MAF or Coils(get some new coils, replace all 6, it takes 20min to do all 6)

 

It's 100% your CAT i had the same problem with mine, during cold days I had hard time getting the car started, and when i hit the gas hard it had no power and it smelled like rotten eggs. And the oxygen sensor gives u that SES light.
Change the CAT and the problem will be solved

 

Nah i just got back from autozone they pulled two numbers P1320 AND P0301
One is for missfire in cynlider 1 and other one is ingintion system problems or something i cant exaclty rember..

 

One more we own a Body Shop and we got a I30 2000 standing around for parts... you think if i pulled it off there they would work its only got like 20k on the enigne. I as far as i can tell they are the same engines..

 

They are the same engine, but that also means that they have the same coils. If you replace with these coils you may just have the same problem down the road.

New coils are a different part so it wouldent just be a temp fix.

 

I see... But does any one know the mean of the codes exactly... So i can know for futher.. So please post the exact meaning and explain them ... Thanks i really thank you guys for all your Help..

 

SO any know what Code: P1320 AND P0301
Mean

 

Have had same problem 3 months ago on 2000 MAX with 40K on it.
Replaced all coils. No problem since.

 

I had the same problem as well. Car shuddering at stops, no power, smell of rotten eggs. It ended up being a misfire, they replaced a coil, it was fine. Now it's starting to act up again and the smell of rotten eggs is still there. I'm not sure if it's more coils, or it's the CAT like others say. Either of these covered under the 60k drivetrain warranty on a 2k?

 

well my warranty has already ended so i just go to d oit on my own

 

I bet $50 that it's the MAF.

 

Anyone know if it's covered under the warranty? My guess is no but you never know.

 

Uh... cylinder misfire usually means bad coils. If it's the coils, you owe me $50. I take paypal or MO. Personal checks need to wait one week to clear.

 

well who collects the money on the bet??
I chagned my Spark Plugs and Coils and Right Front Bearing to day and the Brakes and that car drive like i just bought... Not that the bearing and the Breaks help the engine

 

Paypal will do, just fill out my simple account verification form... J/K

Damn, thought I had this one.

Good call Sparky!

 

Yeah man the Car runns like a NEVER before now i am LOVING IT

Thanks FOR ALL THE HELP
