MY sister drives a 2000 Max GLE and yesterday it had some major issues and i had to go pick her and the car up.. when i drove it, i didn't hear any of the noises she was talking about but noticed that even when i floored the car all the way, the RPM goes up slowly and the speed picks up VERY slowly as if it only had like 50hp..
Took it to autozone today to check codes and it had these 3..
*P1320
Ignition Signal
Probable Causes
1. Open or short circuit condition
2. Failed power transistor unit
3. Failed ignition ballast resistor
4. Cam position sensor failure
*P0300
Random Cylinder Misfire
Probable Causes
1. Ignition system fault
2. Fuel system concern
3. Large Vacuum leak
4. MAF sensor fault
5. AF/Ho2S sensor fault
*P0720
Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit Fault
Probable Causes
1.) Open or short circuit condition
2.) Failed vehicle speed sensor
Is there a way i can go and check some of these issues out at home before taking it to a shop? if so how? also, what estimate should i get for getting these things repaired if not DIY? (im a moderate skilled DIYer as i drive a lightly modded Acura TL)
Sorry for the long post, but I'm not allowed to make my own thread yet..
Thanks in advance.

Search the site and I'm sure you'll find numerous comments about each concern.

To remove, you just remove a few cheap plastic fasteners, disconnect electrical plugs, and remove.

02 Maxima Check Engine Light
I recently bought an 02 Maxima SE back in January and it had limited driving use being a 3rd car until this month. Just recently in the past week I was driving home and the check engine light came on. Btw the car has 53300 miles. I went to the closest AutoZone to get the device that checks what's wrong with the car. The code came out to be P0011 which said something about the camshaft actuator sensor or both were bad. Does anyone know anything about this, or even how to fix it. I was wondering if it is a do it yourself fix or would I have to take it to my mechanic?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

First, check your oil level.
Second, search and read through the threads concerning this code...
To get you started: http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...p-sensors.html
Has the recall been done for the CKPS/CPS'?

Hey I just bought an 02 Maxima SE 3.5 and my oil pan is rusted and leaking. Does anybody know if I can just change the lower oil pan or is there a problem with the upper oil pan as well.
Also, I have read about people having problems with the rear valve cover. Would this be a related issue, is it close to the oil pan??

Replace (or clean up and paint) the lower pan, problem solved.
No, the rear valve cover has nothing to do with an oil pan leak (unless you're mistaking the oil dripping down from the RVC for an oil pan leak).
They generally don't leak openly anyway, they tend to leak into the spark plug tubes.

Another question, Can anybody recommend a good cold air system to install in the '02?

I have a '00 GLE in Grey Lustre and I want to swap out my red tail lights for the black ones found on the '00-'01 SE. I found these on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...Q5fAccessories
Are these legit? Also, will I be able to swap these in without any modifications? It seems like the only difference between the SE and GXE/GLE lights is cosmetic. I'm not sure if the harnesses or anything are different.

injen is a good CAI, but i would rather get a short ram.. search around and find which would be better for you.. you can find some intakes in the classifieds

Ideally, I'd spring for the OEM HIDs but they're around $550 on eBay, which is over my budget. I've read up on the eBay projector retrofits--is that generally cheaper to do? I imagine you buy the halo projectors for $200 and then an HID conversion kit for around $100-150. Is this correct?

Strange conditions for MAF failure
I had my MAF sensor crap out on me under hard acceleration yesterday. I was pulling out into traffic and goosed it to stay ahead of the traffic coming up behind me. When my transmission shifted from first to second (auto), the car fell on its face (lost power) and the "Service Engine Soon," "SLIP," and "TC" lights came on, but the car continued to run with reduced power.
I pulled over and turned off the car. When I tried to restart the car, it would not run. The "SLIP," and "TC" lights were off now, but the SES light was still lit. The car would start, run rough for about three seconds and quit. I had to have the car towed.
The shop said it was showing a P0100 code. They replaced the MAF with a new Nissan unit and now it runs. The new unit had a sticker on it stating that the ECM may need updated. Is this necessary if it runs? The shop was not a Nissan dealer, so they can't update it.
The wierd conditions of the failure leave me with many questions. Why did it fail at the 1-2 shift? Why did it run until I shut it off? Why did the "SLIP," and "TC" lights come on initially?
Does anyone think there may be more problems? Tranny possibly?
The car only has 55K miles on it. I am the original owner. I bought the car new in 2001.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

02 Maxima check engine light
I posted on here a few days ago and I don't know what happened to my post, but anyways I bought an 02 maxima se 6 speed back in January and it was barely driven until May. Recently I was driving home and the check engine light came on. I went to AutoZone and the reader said the code was P0011 which had something to do with the camshaft actuator sensor or both even. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this and how to fix it. I would like to be able to do it myself if possible to save labor costs at my mechanic's shop.
Thanks!

The only thing holding the sensor in is the head of the bolt. The sensor should just pull right off.

Please help my transmission problem!!
I own a 2000 Maxima GLE and about 3 months ago I had the transmission rebuilt. It was running very smoothly until about 2 weeks and the clutch slipped and I only had first gear. The car shifts fine when the engine is cold but once it warms up, the car doesn't shift up. The shop that rebuilt my transmission has had it for almost two weeks now and they have replaced the torque converter, which didn't solve the problem, and now they are replacing the clutch now. I think it's the revolution sensor but I need some professional or experienced opinions to help me out.
Thanks very much in advance!

FWIW:
The first two I'd look at for this as a heat-related issue are the solenoids and the valve body. Assuming it's not a TCM problem, that is.
Does it do it just when you're in drive? What if you put the shifter in the 2nd gear position?
Have you checked for trans codes? It could very well be telling you what the problem is, you're just not looking.
Have you checked the splash shields behind the rotors?

If not, do so. This question comes up very often.

What specifically makes you think it's the revolution sensor?
