Every light possible came on. Such as the OD, acs,slip, battery and gas light. I have no clue what is wrong with the car. I started then it stays on for a goood minute then it shuts off. Like somethings is something sucking power out my car. It stutters and tries to stay on. I stepped on it and try to cruise around the block to see what was wrong it would backfire and dont want to go then shuts off. WOw unbelieveable this car have brought me nothing but trouble and problems. Any maxima experts might know whats wrong with it. It times to make a change I'm gettin fed up and tired with my car. Going to drop it off at the dealership to get it fixed and get rid of it. Any body experience any common problems ?

 

Coils...... there goes your paycheck.....

 

Coils ?? how much does that go for and which part of the engine is it ? I have no ideas what that is...

 

I just stopped by autozone and they are asking about $450 for all six coils. The brand is called wells ?? It is much of a difference between that to the factory ones or Dave B's. Any of you guys changed your coils and where did you get it from ? and how is it running ?? I need fix it ASAP my car is sitting in my driveway and the coils and spark plug are soo F****CK up that my car would start for a quick second then shuts off.

 

Could just be a MAF too.

Try unplugging the maf and starting the car. If that works and the car will rev to about 2400. It is the MAF.

 

Okay, today i went to autozone and they are charging $245 then i stopped by the nissan dealer and they were asking $530 or somethings like that. Thats how much a mass air flow sensor really cost ?!?!? Unbeliable i thought it was like a $100.

 

Is the MAF the plug next to the brake fluid connected to the stock airbox ?

 

ya, and it should be about $125ish.

maf usually wont cause a backfire, though i guess its possible. id bet on coils too... have lontar come over and change them for you

 

yeaa i just ordered one from dave B for $83. SHould be here in about 3-4 days. I also ordered a berk intake. Hopefully my car will feel much faster n not feel like a pos SOHC civic....
