Just get in contact with Dave B on here and get a brand new maf from him for like what 100 bucks. The IACV does control your idle i believe and when it gets broken or damaged then the car wont idle

 

Hey I'm a newbie here, and I have a 2000 maxima se, and i was wondering what kind of easy mods I could do to my car that I could do myself. Thanks.

 

read the stickies and FAQs
if you still have questions, ask in here

 

I have an '01 GLE that I just bought. The rear corner on the passenger side of the sunroof leaks in the car wash. It hasn't rained yet so I don't know if it will then. All of the water was caught and ran down the drainage tubes but I'd like to get it fixed. After I left the wash I could actually see light peeking through. I checked the top of the sunroof and I couldn't see any cracks in the weatherstripping or anything but it looked like it wasn't 100% flush with the roof. I found a thread that mentioned replacing the rails in an older maxima, but am not sure exactly what I'm looking for or if something would just need adjusting or what. Anyone else have this problem at some point? Thanks.

 

Check the shim adjustnment first. There is a good write up at innerbeam.com/housecor

excellent! thanks!

 

thanks again, that site rocks. i'll be taking care of my sunroof, rear window wind noise, and deck rattle before this weekend. Boss!

 

Thanks. It is aftermarket. I was wondering if I should take it out and make sure everything is connected right. I'll do that.

 

I guess you are spoon feeding them a repost...

 

this thread is for spoonfeeding (so new threads arent started)
i gave him the exact link

 

Just giving you a little grief at your softsidedness, its all good

 

im only soft in this thread
i will NEVER be soft if someone starts a thread to ask a question that should be asked in here

 

I tried to change the lower control arm (driver side) on my 2000 maxima. I have all the nuts loosened but I stripped the ball joint nut. The nut isn’t supposed to be taken off, only loosened, so I don’t want to cut it, but now I’m not sure how to turn it to put the new control arm on. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

 

that's not working well right now either, it keeps giving a fatal error

 

Worked for me.

 

2 ?'s here,i was looking for o2's and ther are universal ones that are way cheaper but they dont have the plug,can i just put the plug from the stock one on the other ones and be ok and are they heated or not?

second,i have lost some gas milage and it wont get any better on the freeway.i have cleaned the maf very carefully and cleaned the k&n.it also starts having a slight stumble around70 or so if its floored.i work on and build fords all the time so i know what im doing.just new to the imports

 

what yr is your car?
Should be fine, but you want to look into the O2 sim

Um, I'd probably stick with OEM O2 sensors, but someone may know more about that than I do.

The loss of gas MPG is most likely attributed to the bad O2 sensors you are trying to replace.

The "stumble" around 70, may mean that your MAF if going bad, what year do you have? 2002's are notorious for going bad. If it gets really bad, the engine wont rev past 2.5k, so I'd get a new one. Don't spend $400 like the dealer will charge you, buy an 01 MAF ($100), and transfer the thermister off your old one into the 01 MAF. There are write-ups on this, search for "MAF replacement" or something like that

 

sorry i have a 2002 gle with 82000 on the clock.it does have the better
am600 maf.i have the stock air box.i'll look into the 2001 maf's.thanks for the quik info guys.if i have anymore ?'s i'll post up

 

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT

 

MI was going thru the posts and i read about 03 maximas having a reverse lockout??? is this when u have to push the shifter down or pull it up to put the car into reverse gear?? My 03 Maxima doesnt do this i can just put it into reverse, and there isnt a space as in this photo
http://www.redlinegoods.com/images/Maxima2K201.jpg
in between the **** and the curveature near the bottom of the shifter? any info would help

 

6speeds (02-03) have the reverse lockout.
you have to pull up that ring

i have no idea whats wrong with yours

 

I got something that's driving me nuts, about 70% of the ime my windows only roll down ~3 inches. The other 30% they go all the way down. This happens with multiple remotes, etc...I've looked through the manual and searched here and never seen a mention of any setting that would cause this. My Infiniti doesn't do this and I want my Max's windows to go all the way down every time. *Note* I AM holding the button down the whole time, the windows stop at exactly the same place every time.

 

I've tried the FAQ, TSB, and the Search function and couldnt find what i was looking for. My Nissan Maxima 2001 has a problem that I've been trying to fix forever now.

When driving the car, sometimes it just stops accelerating, it won't change gears at all. When you hit the gas it just shoots the RPM's to the roof. Sometimes turning off the car and turning it back on fixs the problem right away, and sometimes it does not. If let to set for a day or so it always has worked when started up again. It tends to happen most often at lower speeds when there is a lot of stop and go traffic. The car won't accelerate at all, it just falls to an idle speed and the RPM's go up whenever the gas is touched. We had a check engine light for an 02 sensor that was fixed, and a engine light for a speed sensor. The electrician we took it to told me he couldnt fix the speed sensor proplem, and then he cleared the code. I've been to a transmission place who told me it was not my transmission. I've taken it in to at least 4 other places, who can't recreate the problem with the car so they say they are unable to fix it. A few mechanics my wife works with thought it might be a computer problem.

Any Guidance you guys could give me would be MUCH appreciated. I'm at my wits end here with this problem. Thanks again.

 

Hey i was wondering if you can somehow fill those hideous holes in your front bumper, where they are for you to mount your license plate. I live in PA where a front license plate is not required. Thanks in advance.

 

No luck as of yet. I'm picking up the part today and installing this weekend.

 

+1

 

so if the ring is pulled up all the time, can you go into other gears or only reverse, because it looks like it was glued I just realized this.

 

LET ME ASK...DID YOU PICK UP A PRESURE HOSE OR WHAT...HOW MUCH WAS THE PART?

ok I figured out the problem, the shifter was actually broken and then glued back 2gether so i need a new shift assembly i called The dealership and they said $189, which isnt too bad, but anyone know where i could get a used one from, i've been calling up junkyards and no luck

 

Hi, I just got a '01 Maxima and I want to know what has been done to it and I have a TON of questions too as to little things I'm unsure about the car.



-Are those 17s what originally came with the car?
-What is the official color of my car?
-I don't know if it's the base of SE model (I have cloth seats and the bose speakers if that helps)
-Did this car come with Clear side markers? or yellow ones? I have a both, One yellow and one clear.
-Are the blacked tails stock? i've seen them on some maximas but not all? what's the difference between the red ones and black trimed ones? Years? Models?


-Are those pedals stock? I've seen that dash in other maximas so I guess that's stock.
-When driving the car if let up on the accelerator the shift **** kinda moves forward a little, and when I give it gas if goes back a little, is this normal?

Not pictured:
-My broken Air Intake
I got a o2 sensor code (for both of them) but it so happens that my o2 sensors are broken, but would my air intake have anything to do with this? the part that's broken is the little bridge from the actual filter box to the scoop that connects to the hood, it looks like I have to buy another one so I may just get an aftermarket one anyways depending on how much a replacement would run me.

Anywho this forum seems like a great place. I hope I didn't ask waayyy too much, but thanks in advance.

*Edit* two more, I am a semi-noob with manual but sometimes (like maybe once or twice a day) when I start from a complete stop I hear a jingling noise coming from under the car, is it my noobness and I'm f'n up the clutch? or is it something else?

Is that wind-shield for the sunroof stock also? again i've seen it on some maxima's but not all.

 

-17's are original.
-how to find your paint code: http://www.courtesyparts.com/paint/touchup_howto.html
http://www.courtesyparts.com/paint/maxima.html
-clear corners are not stock equipment
-blacked tails are stock for SE models, '00-01; all red ones are on '00-'01 GXE & GLE; '02-'03 have the stupid "altezzas"
-pedals are not stock (i don't believe)
-dash kit where aftermarket headunit it is not stock.
-go to autozone and get the code pulled; consult the sticky labeled for codes: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=374481
call DaveB for parts: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....38#post1921238

 

those pedals are stock on 01 AE and 02/03 with HLSD
neither apply to you so someone swapped them

 

Awesome, awesome, and awesome thanks allot!! Just need help with the last two and that'd be spectacular, thanks allot guys!

 

sunroor wind deflector is on option that some people get.
most people on here dont like it and take it off

 

Does anyone know the offsett of the factory 07 maxima SE 18" wheels and if they could be spaced safely enough to fit the Z32 bbk??? Do they have to be spaced at all?

 

It's the Power Steering Pressure hose and I picked it up for $130 at a local dealership.

 

Mine does this as well based on how far I am from the car it seems. I will get a 7" roll down and it stops. If I repress my remote they roll down all the way...???

If I am at the car it has not happened. I am assuming its a signal loss from the remote, but it may be common.
