I have a 2000 3.0 5-speed I just purchased a couple weeks ago which I love, but now am noticing a noise when I let the clutch off when I first start up the car, I park the car in first because I am fixing the parking brake right now.. Anyways I get the car out of first at start up, let off the clutch then it makes a whirring noise.. kinda weird to describe to you, but when I drive the car around it quiets down almost goes away, I am thinking a bearing of some sort, maybe the t.o bearing or something of that nature.. lemme know what you think.. OH and I also have a squishy clutch that engages as soon as I let off the clutch, which I am already assuming it might be the slave or master cylinders which I already plan to fix this weekend.. so overall a BIG clutch issue..

Ok we'll it seems the clutch is getting more pressure I am going to try and bleed it as it seems there is probably just air in it...

I just bought a 2002 SE with a cloth Motorized seat. I am 6' 3" and sit way up high and I am looking for the correct way to modify the seat so I can sit down a few inches more OR the best option to put new seats in with new seat rails/sliders at a budget of $1000 or less. Any ideas? Did anyone else fix this problem in thier maxima? Optimally I would like to lower the seat height at least 2-3"

I'm 6'-4" and drove a 03 SE for years and i never had any issues. The only way to move the seat down is to push down on the switch that moves the seat back and forth. Did you try that?

I'm 6'5" with an 01 GLE and the only time I really have any problem is if I want to sit completely straight up, however part of the problem for me is the sunroof steals 1-2" of headroom. If not for that I'd probably be able to sit with my back completely vertical, but as it is I have my seat reclined maybe 5-10 degrees all the time, which isn't a big deal once you get used to it.

so i replaced the water pump seals and was wondering if it was normal for me to experience milky oil for a couple of changes due to the coolent that ran down into the timing chain cover when i pulled the pump?

Whats up everyone ive been lurking for a while and im finally getting a max really excited, the one issue the car has of right now is the common fuel gauge issue i heard about. I know it would either be the cluster or fuel sending unit. The cel is on for the sending unit so i figured it must be that.My question is that part sold alone i would i have to purchase the whole unit.Is this the part ? http://www.courtesyparts.com/25060y-...l-p-54261.html

i've had a 2000 max for about 5 months and my rear sub has never worked. i recently purchased a 8 inch sub to replace the factory one. unfortunately i was told that there was no way to replace the the bose sub. is this true and if not how do i go about solving this issue

Only a Bose subwoofer can replace a Bose subwoofer. The same goes for speakers.

Here is a link on how to repair the subwoofer:
http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...00-maxima.html

Hopefully this is what you need. If not, visit your local junkyard. Be advised - the subwoofers are different from year to year. Make sure you get one from a 2000.

That is the sending unit that runs the gauge in the dash.

Courtesy Nissan price = $ 85.83
NissanPartsZone.com = $ 77.13 (http://www.nissanpartszone.com/Page_...mponentsNo=172)

I would recommend that you replace the o-ring that seals the gas tank. Don't take a chance with a 10 year old o-ring - another $ 10.96.

But before you order any parts, run the instrument panel self diagnostic and see how the gauge reacts. Follow the procedure in the FSM.
2002 manual - page 122 in the EL (electrical) section.
2003 manual - page 123 in the EL (electrical) section.

Thanks!!,The fuel guage goes straight to full when car is turned on then down once car it is off does that say anything?

DennisMik

iTrader: (2)

I lean towards the gauge being bad. If the sending unit in the tank was bad, the gauge would always sit in one spot.

However, I cannot say that with 100% assuredness. Run that diagnostic.

I am.looking to.replace my rotors and brake.pads
Mayb even.calipers i.just dont know what calipers otber than.stock will.fit.

Excuse me.for asking about my infiniti on.the maxima forums.but from what iv read they are very similar cars


What are the best pads i can get?

I have kinda pre decided on hawk heard good reviews across the board

Also i already have stainless.steel lines.i.bought for.my.i30 so will.they be compatible.if.i do change calipers?

Also what is the best option for.rotors?

If.i tried to put 6th gen.rotors on my car with stock calipers would.they fit?

As of.now all brakes pads and rotors are stock
Im doing the rear first only because its making loud.noise
Car still.stops


What.to do? Need help and.suggestions.fast

Stick with stock rotors and calipers in the rear.

Not sure if the 6th gen bbk will fit your infinity but I recommend that for the fronts if they can, i did it and there is a noiticible improvement in my highway braking. For my rear I did a stock replacement of calipers/rotors/pads. I couldn't be happier with the braking of my 5.5 gen

Guys, I am at wits end. I have issues with my 01 Max. At least once or twice a week I get up in the morning and my battery is dead. I have a new battery, alternator, and starter. Any know electrical issues?

JWatZ

iTrader: (5)

A friend of mine had a similar issue with his 4th Gen (95) and it took him forever to figure it out. His dome light bulb blew a while ago and I guess his son flipped the switch for the light on. Even without a working bulb it still drained out his battery.

He had battery and alternator tested, disconnected his amps, killed his alarm system notification light... and it was the stupid dome light. This probably doesn't help, but think of anything that happened/changed before the issue started. Sometimes it's the most random thing.

NmexMAX

iTrader: (22)

So is the battery literally dead? As in tested and it's drained? Or is it a bad connection, either on the battery, started, or grounds?

My Pathfinder has an issue, and it turned out to be the + terminal came loose every now and then, and did not tighten.

hi im new to this
i just got an 03 maxima and the car was running fine,all of a sudden the car cut off, i restarted it and it ran for a lil longer then cut off again,when trying to restart it seemed as tho the car was out of gas but the fuel gauge read aprx 1/2 full. i dont know what to do now...i hope i didnt buy a lemon

mileage on the car? check engine lights? when you first turn the car on (music off) and listen closely can you hear the fuel pump run?

slo-ryde

Before panicking I would try putting a few gallons of gas in the tank, maybe the fuel gauge is whacked.

Many years ago I stopped at one of those cheapo gas stations and ended up with a boatload of water in the tank, only got 10 miles or so down the road before the engine died. I ended up having the car towed to the dealership for service. Luckily no damage, except to the wallet.

You may also have an issue with one or both of the CPS (Cam Position Sensors) there was a recall on the Maxima for this issue, you can check with any dealership by giving them your Vin # and they can tell you if yours have been replaced. Symptoms of a faulty CPS is the car randomly stalling and just about any speed (pretty scary #%##^) The SES codes for this are P0340 & P0345 ... p0340 is for bank 1 % p0345 is for bank 2 ... I had this issue with P0345 but did not receive the error on the first couple of times that te engine stalled. Once I replace the CPS everything was fine once again.

i was out of gas... filled up and no problem since. but im afraid to let the needle go below 1/2 tank now. i also notice i cannot use the control center; maybe because there is aftermarket radio (in car when i got it).

i didnt get any chk light

Hello All,

I am new here (and yes I searched) but am having trouble finding the answer. I would like to know where I can find the serial from either my BCM or NATS or Ignition switch, to run through Supercode to get the 4-digit PIN needed to reprogram keys in the case I need to replace my ECU. I know I need to run the serial once I find it through Nissan Supercode (which I am having trouble finding the program). I have heard the serial it is on the BCM...but am finding conflicting issues if it is on the BCM or the ignition lock module for the 2000. There is also a "master PIN" for 2001-2003 but unfortunately my car falls outside that range. Hopefully I can find the serial on whatever module it is (hoping someone knows) and some awesome Nissan fellow with the supercode program can get me my PIN just in case I need to reprogram keys if I do need a new ECU.

I am getting a Nissan Data Scan II tomorrow (mainly to reset idle and clear learning) because I am in the middle of fixing a P0505 IACV error and high idle (1000rpm) after cleaning the throttle body (kicking myself because it was running awesome before I decided to clean the TB). Having trouble resetting idle (pulling brown connector) and figured having the NDS II program would be great to do that as well as reprogram keys, perform IACV relearn idle.

I have a new IACV and TPS coming and I pulled the ECU but didn't find any burnt chips. I may have moved the IACV while cleaning it and now I think its not working correctly. I am not driving it until I replace the IACV and perhaps even fuse the 4 connections to the ECU. I am also considering doing the coolant bypass. I am very good with soldering PCB's so if that STA509 does/did pop I have a couple coming to replace it and hopefully be back on my way.

I tested ohms and they register around 26 ohms on the IACV..today I am pulling the TB (which I can do in record time after 4 times lol) and going to check for shorts in the IACV (gonna replace it anyway).

Also going to replace those PITA phillips screws holding the ECU with 8mm hex as well as the TPS phillips also with hex...makes me want to smack the engineer who thought phillips was a good idea in that cramped space.

Just trying to get all my ducks in a row to fix this P0505. Until then, she sits awaiting... Thanks in advance, I have found so much great information and helpful people here as I fix the little things needed on my 2000 max.

EDIT: I can supply the VIN if someone can find the PIN from that...

2001maximablues

I have a 2001 Maxima that needs a new IAC as per the code. My question is, can I it be cleaned?

DennisMik

iTrader: (2)

The code is caused by the electrical malfunctioning of the IACV. There is a stepper motor built into the IACV and the windings have a nasty habit of shorting out. You can measure the resistance of the motor windings with an ohmmeter if you want, it will only confirm what the code is telling you. And do something quick before it shorts out your ECU/ECM.

See pages 432 and 436 of the EC section of the FSM.

This might help u find out the o2 locations

Aviation005

two things I can think of from experience.

if your key is worn, the car will shut itself off, its a security feature
(I had a spare key made, the car would start, then INSTANTLY die)

went back to normal nissan key, and voila, it worked


second is fuel pump is failing. Mine died at 130K miles

by control center, do you mean the control on the wheel? If so thats normal as you have an aftermarket, and an adapter need to be purchased before it works
(cruise control should work tho)

VenomsMax

I bought my 2000 se cali spec car with the p0430 code on went to ebay ordered a pre cat made by eastern catalytic converters I believe. Had to modify the heat shields attached to it but havent had it come back yet, and that was about 2.5 years ago.
