A while back you guys were saying that the 2000 max lost 15-20 hp(including mines) due to the variable intakes on the car. Well I have some good news. On may 7,2002, I had took my car to nissan of queens(NY),to service my car for a check engine light. It turnout to be a oxygen sensor that was internally broken in the manifold. So they replace it and then the E.C.L came on again. This time the car gave code of p0420 on the diagnose computer. So they reprogram my ECU in the car, and 4 hours later the car felt brand new and fast as ever.!!!!!!!!!! My power is all back.!!!!!!!!! Thanks to nissan of queens.!!!

 

how did it all cost u?

 

Yo LCF, it costs me $73.03 dollars only because my battery was low on power. And if they reprogram the ECU with a low battery and the ECU turns off, it burns the whole ECU???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????!!!!!!!

P.S.
The ECU costs about $1200 from the dealer.!!!!!!!Makes since right!!!!

 

I forgot,the $73.03 was for a new battery. And the work was under my 5 year warranty.

 

Hey, im gonna look into that. Hehe funny you should mention nissan of queens. I bought my Max when it was called Queens Nissan, still got the plate holders that says it like that. Wonder if i saw you around

 

It's still called queens nissan, but that's the sales department, not the service department.!!!! BTW I got my car from major nissan out in five towns.!!!!!! NY baby

 

The P0420 is the CAT convertor if I am not mistaken. Do you have a Cal spec car or a Fed spec? Thanks

 

so can i just bring it to the dealership and tell them to check the ECU?

 

got mine at kopell on northern
and mah other sentra and max at nemet on jamaica
