My 2001 5sp Manual has 205k and runs fine. But when I sit, letting it idle for quite a while (several minutes), it'll get an odd idle for a while. Eventually, it'll idle out. It's gotten worse lately, and it's dying frequently while I sit at red lights.

I usually figure it's a vacuum hose crack if it's an idle issue like this, but I figured I better ask if anyone knows if this is a common Maxima problem before u go changing all of the vacuum lines.

Thanks.

 

Not a common Maxima problem. My 2000 SE/AT will idle for hours, without dying or accelerating.

 

its common enough try cleaning your throttle body and IACV and then do an idle relearn. otherwise its your TPS

 

Dirty or bad MAF will cause stalling when sitting still. It don't always set a code either.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll clean the MAF and throttle body and see how that affects it.
