Hi guys....quick question
Maxima 2004sl w 200000miles on it..recently it started acting weird while idling.For a brief second it would almost stall and t-gauge would drop like its cold and then it would just quickly go back to normal...it would do that only while idling.

seems like it started getting worse.
now my t gauge is almost non stop going up and down and it is harder to start the engine.. check engine lamp turned on also......but runs good still.when i drive its got power like normally ....

what is this ,anyone?...

 

Need to Read the Codes, cant just go off a assumption from here, they can give you a better idea, with the code or codes from the ECU....

 

ok, finally got readings on 04 maxima......
p0340
p1800

seems like one of those you can repair endlessly ....
i dont have transs issues it just takes couple seconds longer to start and acts weird....like i release gas pedal but engine adds some speed and then slows...like its struggling ...i cleaned MAF and choke and it runs better but cel on and still runs kinda odd

please if anyone has an idea how to deal with this problem let me know....appreciate it.

 

Well the codes are for your CPS and VIAS solenoid, check for continuity to make sure you don't have a short somewhere, but most likely you'll have to replace that sensor and solenoid not fun.

 

awesome....just replaced 2 camshaft sensors and my cel is off and maxima purrs like before......no idling issues or anything..


thx again
