I have neglected my 2001 Maxima the past few YEARS. Rarely used her since I purchased my FX35 in 2009 and have not moved her out of the garage the past 2 years. Trying to bring her back to life.
I have INJEN air intake, with Greddy Evo exhaust.
Issues:
1. Had high and Low RPMS. Thought it was a bad IACV, so i changed it out. I also decided to change out the MAF since everyone was having issues.
The car turns over but does not stay on unless I give her some gas. Cant seem to keep her going on her own. I am thinking I may have to replace the fuel pump but want to get some ideas.

 

Did it sit with fuel in the tank? If so, don't keep starting it up or you'll have a nice gummed up system to deal with. Drain (all) the fluids out of it: oil, fuel, antifreeze, transmission, etc. and replace with new.

Also might be a good idea to take the pump out and give it a good cleaning as well as replace the fuel filter. Inspect the lines going into the pump as well as the one's that go onto the fuel rail. I'd also treat the tank and see if you can get (if there is any) crud and sediment to dissolve before trying to start it again.

 

Thanks for the advice Pearl. I will try that and hope it works.

 

SHES ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to have her back. She must have sensed that I purchased her 6 POT Willwood BBK for her for christmas. It was simple as adjusting the throttle screw. must have got it out of line when I changed out the IACV. Next thing is to drain and fill all fluids, pass emissions and get her back on the road.

 

Glad to know it did the trick.

 

just curious, how many miles on this car?

 

76K. It was my first car that I purchased brand spanking new out of college so it has sentimental value. has Stillen Aero Kit, Stillen sway and Tower bars, Injen Intake and Greddy EVo Exhaust. Just purchased Willwood BBK kit and may go with Headers or SC in the near future.
