hey..... can an exhaust leak cause irregular idle and sometimes car shuts off also its slugish.....ive bin told that the leak is the exhaust manifold not bolted down enough im going to fix that but i just wanted to know if those syptoms are just because of that or something else

car: 2001 nissan maxima se
transmission: manual(automatic is for pu&*ies lol)

 

in my case, the exhaust leak made the car SUPER LOUD even at idle and my idle rpm needle was on crack (up down up down)

 

yes mine is pretty loud almost like an old ford pick up truck

 

Oh noes, I had no idea! Damn my pussay automatic.

 

No

 

Calm down its a joke

 

Thanks captain obvious

 

ok anyway back to the matter at hand

im gettting o2 sensors no activity codes

codes are
p0161
p0110
p0140


help plz

 

P0140 :H02S2-B1 with white wire.
P0161: H02S2- B2 with red wire.
This error are from your secondary 02 Sensor.
Main cause: deteriorating precat or clogged precat.
Solution: Replace both precat : one near the radiator, one near the firewall. Precat is expensive. The best and cheapest way is to gut both precat and install 02 nonfouler to the two secondary 02 sensor

P0110: Clean the MAF if the code persist you need to replace it

 

ok also the car takes long to start and when it does sometime it bubbles out. also when u get it runnig it runs fine for a minute or two then when u sinck the clutch it dies rpms drop low and i would have to keep reving it to keep it alive...also it has an extreme sluggish acceleration almost as if the car isnt getting fuel or air. but i will take my whole exhaust system out to check for clogged cats etc

 

There's your answer.

 

ok guys thanks i am about to start taking it apart today or tomorrow when i get off from work............is there any advise or warnings before i start or a guide??????..... my major concern is breaking bolts cause they are looking brittle

 

Gotta love the manual guys who think their cars are faster. I will race any 5.5 gen with similar mods that has a stick and we will see who wins.

 

You trying to brag about that. There is a reason people race professionally with a manual....it requires skill. That is why it is fun.



P.s. I own an automatic and a 6sp.

 

Maybe in a straight line but doubt it

 

I guess it depends on what kind of racing. I've had manual (not a maxima) and autos. If you're running 1/4 mile auto would be the preferred setup. If you think you have a rare "skill" cause you shift gears you don't people have been doing it for a hundred years now.

 

An auto built for the track, sure. A 4 speed maxima slushbox?

 

I mean, lets be honest here...Its true, the 4AT is in stock form...but with a transgo and some other mods the auto Maxi-pads can be quick.

Still not as good as 6MT, but no reason to hate on it since most 1/4 mile guys do run autos.

 

Like I said any 6 speed guys in jersey or close proximity to who's mods are similar lets do it. I can list my mods we can open hoods at the track. The challenge is out.

 

. Tun tun tun........

 

It's easy to talk

 

 

lol anyway guys i gutted my cats it does idle as ruff any more and no 02 codes it shut off once but im thinking its my crank sensor by the tranny cause i pulled out and saw stuff on it so i cleaned it and oput it back now it runs fine thanks again..........5TH GEN TO THE WORLD
