My brother just called me and said hes stranded on the side of the highway with his 2002 Maxima SE 6spd. It has a Frankencar intake thats it. Anyways, he said the engine started dieing out on him so he pulled over to the shoulder to take a look and didnt see anything funny. So he tried restarting the car and it would barely idle then shut off. Anybody experienced this before? Oh yeah my dad's on his way to go help him.

 

hmm 1st time i've heard about engine problems.. but wouldn't it be sad if this was a chronic problem and happened to all 2K2 owners...

 

oooh, doesn't sound good

 

Screwed up MAF sensor? Pedal stopper TSB?

 

Dude that same thing happened to me. Check the connections before and after MAF. If its getting too much air the car just dies. My intake fell off and I thought I blew my tranny cuz when I rev it up it would bog and die.

 

okay they got it to barely run. it stumbles very bad on the idle and wont rev past ~2000 RPMS. He weakballed it home and they just put the stock airbox on and its still doing hte same problem...

 

that's my guess

 

The idler vacuum hose must have popped off. Tell him to check hoses off the frankencar midpipe and for any obstructions on the maf. Afterwards disconnect the negative battery terminal and let it sit for an hour. Hopefully it's ok!

 

car went into limp mode..... MAF could be messed up....

 

DUDE WELCOME BACK! havent seen you in ages.

 

hey there

 

UMD fell off the map, welcome back.

 

The POS is going into the dealership.. it didnt go away. Stupid maxima left me stranded on side of highway for 3 hours until my dad some how got it run (poorly) so I cruised it home and put the stock airbox back on and told dealer to pick it up. Oh and I also wanted to say Trophy Nissan are all a bunch of ***s that love to give you the run-around and not pay for anything.

 

Now hold up here, you out here creating a thread asking for help ASAP while you bro out stranded? Man if tha was my brother, I would be kicking his azzzzzzzz when he finally showed up.

Dixit

 

i told u, my dad was on his way 2 go help him and I was stuck at work!
ANyways like he said, Nissan came last night and towed the vehicle in to the dealership. Hopefully they'll figure out whats wrong with it quickly
