Just installed headers; have a few small issues...
Recently I installed headers on my 95 Maxima. Since the installation there have been two problems:
1) The car takes a bit longer to start. It usually needs a little gas to get going. Upon the first 10 - 20 seconds of starting the RPM's bounce between 300 and 2000, after that, its fine and runs smooth.
2) I know the idea of headers is higher RPM performance, but I am pretty sure that I am not suppose to loose any power from my initial take-off. Before the headers, the car would spin its wheels with no problem, but now it can barely spin them when turning. The Maxima simply doesn't have the snap it used to.
I want to say it has something to do with the computer wanting to adjust for the new ratio perhaps or I may need new/larger injectors. That is where I stand as of now. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
