Is this normal 95 maxima performance???

Bone stock 5 spd, 155K... video 55-110 on closed track...

IMO, very slow for and se 5spd... even though its bone stock and a 95... the window was open a bit, and Disregard check engine light, cause i disconnected lid sensor once and started the car without it...

My 01 automatic did the same thing when my MAF went out.

I'd start there first...

Do you have a rough idle?
Keep the car running -> Pop the hood -> Disconnect a coil -> If idle changes then its a good cyl. -> Does not change, You either have a bad plug; coil; or injector (maybe other problems too)

Quick and easy

Need new fuel pump?

Fuel filter?

Like you had said... get a tune up then start trying to diagnose
GL

BTW 4DSC ended with the 3rd gen and started again with the 09

thanx for the advice. Lol, i thought 4 dsc applied to 4th gen as well cause all 4th gen commercials do is talk about how fast the maxima is...

I love this thread.

It defines such an accurate, technical way to see how fast or slow a vehicle accellerates.
Excellent for troubleshooting as well.

Amazing how far technology has come.
