Thanks Irish!

You still need to replace those Cv axles though if the boots have split. I suggest spending a little extra and getting them from Raxles...much better quality than the crap you get at Autozone or Pep boys (or Nissan).

Passenger side window problem
Hey I am having this problem where when i try to roll down my passenger side's windows using the controls on the driver side it seems to like move 2 inches then stop then move a little bit more if it wanted to then it would finally go down. But the button on the passenger side works perfectly fine. Anyone know what is going on? Thanks.

btw, Powerslot rotors and Hawk (HPS?) pads are what most people will suggests. you could probably do stock rotors and Hawk pads too.

Will 02-03 HIDS fit into my '00
I just put 20" chrome on the 00 and the yellowish headlights look like a-s-s with the bling, does anyone know if the 02-03 HIDS would be a direct fit replacement or if there is any tweaking necessary

MAF advice on 2000 SE
I have the SES light on and read the code with an auto scanner which returned p0100 --> MAF or VAF ckt malfunction.
My question is... can I just replace the MAF with a new one and hope that fixes it? My car is experiencing rough idles and loss of power (acceleration) which is very intermittent. What are the chances the problems is something else? Should I ohm out the connection on the MAF back to the ECM? Where abouts is the ECM located? Could there be another sensor/compenent failure which could trip the computer to thinking its a MAF problem? These might seem like retarded questions but I'd really like to take a stab at fixing this myself if possible. Thanks to any advice.

1. you will have retarded glare using the stock housing
2. 10k will look idiotic and
if you want HID, do a 02-03 headlights retrofit. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I don't know if this was asked before, if it was sorry.
I got my dome light LED and its always dim, even when the car is parked and locked (the switch is in the middle) A friend of mine has the same problem. How do I fix it? I just took it out after I realized that it stays lit (dim) when the car is parked. I don't want it to burn out, overnight.
Thanks in advance.

Try to see what happens when you use a regular dome bulb. Also are you both using the same LED's?

MAF failure is common. I would try that first, 100$ from dave b

I only use LED's in applications where there are two choices.........ON/OFF

2000 SE - PCV Location
I have search the entire net looking for an image of where the PCV valve would be located on the 2000 SE. I have looked at PCV valves at various parts stores but cannot find anything that closely resembles that. Is the part complete embedded in a hose or hidden under a component? I know where my MAF and throttle wires are. So any description starting from any those reference points should be good.... even better an image with an arrow would be fantastic. Thanks to any help on this.
