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??

They have a idle speed adjustment (Adjusting 4th Gen idle speed) process listed under Maintainance. I did it last night, and I now have a 4th gen that idles like a LS400. Bigtime difference, and was really easy to do. I did the process recommendations just as they wrote, and the results were perfect.

 

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...

 

Sarah, I wish my GF was in to the Maxima scene... you have me jealous... grrr. She hates talking about cars... Argggh. But I am hella happy to see you here...

 

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

 

Hahaha... Sounds like me... I do that too when I am out with my friends... I'm like "Oh $hit - Max!" ; and then they are like WTF?? And then like a second later I look and check for clear corners on the front/back and then I say "Stock..."

hahaha...

 

hey guys where are the spark plug wires? are they the ones that plug down into the plug? also what kind should I get if i get new ones?

 

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.

 

I thaw we dun hab spark pub wyres? Am I wong?

 

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........
