Replaced Injectors twice in a year
Replaced Injectors twice in a year
Has this happened to anyone else? My fuel injectors were replaced last July after 40k, and they crapped out again this month 51k. Oh, and the MAF died this time. Nissan did it free of charge both times, but I want to know if it happened to anyone else.

...Are they clogging, sticking open/closed, or what?? sounds like they are fixing the cause of a bigger problem. (Voltage spike, bad fuel filter, etc)
Possible it's coincidence but highly unlikely..
Ever drive through a flood, wash your engine bay often, modify your ecu, or have your engine pulled?
Any other fuel delivery issues?

What kind of fuel are you using? I mean what octane rateing?
I've heard of the injectors going bad on maximas because of people using less then premium. I run premium all the time and have no problems. Or it could be cause of a dirty fuel filter like stated above. Check to see if you got a short anywhere. Also try seafoaming your car that makes it run smoother and cleans out the system also. Just some suggestions

PROBABLY something in your gas once cleaned all the gunk from the bottom of the tank, everytime you run the engine low on gas it uses the dirty crap and your filter isn't cleaning it properly.
Always keep your tank over 1/8 to 1/4 full..Constantly running it low isnt good for the pump or fuel system.
