hey guys i have an 02 max and the engine has a like a rattling sound idk if its a its a valve tap or its the rod or something els all i kno is that when i start my car i have to rev it or els it will shut off on me and my rpms jump nd witch makes my car shake when im in idle........please some1 help me lol i love this car lol

i tried taking a video but the sound gets quieter when the car gets warmer but its still there and i put oil in it and i haven't ran the computer on it so i dont have the codes i will soon but untill then does any1 have any ideas or info or anything that might help

 

SOUNDS LIKE U WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE SOON. DUE TO CLOGGED PRE-CATS THAT CAUSES BACK PRESSURE & DESTROYS THE PISTON RINGS & SEALS. A LOT OF NISSANS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE CHEAPEST SOLUTION IS A SWAP OUT BUT THEN AGAIN U NEVER KNOW WHAT U R GETTING.

 

Do a search there are many causes for the rattle it does not always mean a new engine.it could be anything from the tensioner pulley to a loose heat shield or a deteriated precat.btw if you going to listen to a person that posted above thats just as new on here as yourself your only going to Fail!

 

ok ill keep that in mind and thanks

 

As you stated you tried a video but the engine had time to warm up which the noise became quieter, I would suggest trying again when the engine has had time to get cold. Have you had any engine codes? if so what have they been.

The information about the noise is going to help other to better assist you with suggestions on the possible causes. Looking forward to helping but really do need more to go on. As suggested the engine noise can be just about anything I'll toss bad gas into the mix causing the engine to ping but without hearing the noise it will be very difficult to assist.

Need More Info:

CHECK YOURSELF. THE ARGUMENT WASNT ABOUT HOW MANY MAXIMAS U OWNED. IT WAS ABOUT U CALLING ME A NEW MEMBER. PS ITS "MAXIMAS" NOT MAXIMA'S" & ITS "AN IDIOT" NOT "A IDIOT". GO BACK TO SCHOOL HOMIE. BUT ENOUGH OF THIS PETTY BICKERING ALREADY. WE R HERE TO HELP OUT FELLOW MEMBER. SO LETS JUST DO THAT.

 

 

It is wasn't not wasnt.

It is are not r.
It is let's not lets.
P.S. stands for post script, with post being the key word meaning it comes after the rest of the body of the message.
The word but is a preposition and must never begin a sentence.

I see seven grammatical errors in seven sentences. Not to mention the several other problems. I do not think you should be correcting other people's grammar.
