It doesnt do it constantly, just when I come to a stop, and put it in nuetral, it goes down to about 350 or 400 RPM and sounds like its gonna die for about 2 seconds, then it goes back up to about 750 RPM . Has anyone ever had this problem or know what its caused from?
thanks |
anyone??

I did the process recommendations just as they wrote, and the results were perfect. |

Originally posted by bosco500 ok thanks for the info.. i'll give it a shot No doubt... good luck... Should be the answer you need. |
I'm not sure if this helps you, but since it's not a constant idle at 350-400, when this happened on my 91SE I had to replace my spark plug wires and that helped alot as I was having the same problem at idle with the rpm dipping down. Another thing I thought was the problem was the o2 sensor. Just a thought...

ahhh thanxs :) I've always had an appreciation for cars of all kind. (i even build model cars :) ) but the maxima is one great car...so much that i upgraded from a 91 to a 99. My friends get tired of me talking about my car to hehe, I went camping this weekend and I spotted one maxima out of 5 days being there. Yeah, I Yelled out 'There's a maxima!' and my friends just looked at me, then continued talking :laugh:

Originally posted by Sarah99GXE Yes spark plug wires connect to the top of the spark plug. I 've gotten mine at autozone before (i can't remember brand) and they worked just fine. :gotme: |
4th gens don't have spark plug wires. If your car has over 30k miles, the first thing to do is clean the throttle body and then adjust the idle.

OOps my bad :( I guess I need to look under my engine soon :) I'm soo used to my 91........
