I read tons of bulletins on this forum debating about what type of gas to put in the Maxima. I always figured it was not that big of a deal. Now I have learned that the cheap 87 octane gas makes my car misfire. No more cheap crap for my Max, only 93 octane from now on. Don’t wait for your car to misfire, only put 93 in it.

 

go diesel or go home....and it prolly did nothing to ur car.....87 will not cause a misfure

 

Are you sure it's not your coilpacks? You do have a 99.

 

yeha the typical 87 normaly would just cause lot lots of low end power loss because of a knock sensor because it retards the ignition or some shyte. But not a misfire.

 

ANOTHER GAS THREAD!!!!!!!!!! Why not just post in one of the other million gas threads???

You should have listened on the other hand, gas is overrated.

 

I dunno , I always put 93 in , but recently I was forced to fill up with 87 ( Gas station had no other gas , and I had none whatsoever ) , I got to tell you , big difference , never gona do it again .

 

i run 87mobil all the time, i def. get no misfire, its an n/a how much octane does is it gonna require, its not like im running a turbo w/ 36psi, retards a little timing so what

 

thats al it will do is retard timing a little...it jsut in peoples minds and butt dynos that 87 is bad....i still used 93...but i wouldnt hesitate to put 87 if i needed

 

man that video should be a sticky, just change all the "steam" to maxima.org and you're set..

 

my heads gonna pop if i see another gas thread ive said this a million times your computer IS PROGRAMMED FOR 87 OCTANE FUEL. if some gas fairy is making the engine seem to misfire when its put in its not the gas. check your coil packs, knock sensor, and fuel injectors. make sure all your computer codes are clear. please delete this thread.

the only way to utilize the higher octane is to get an upgraded ecu programmed for 91 octane from jwt or TS. now i must take pause to vent my frustration at a totally anonomous person not expecting it because i feel like it......just kidding....

please search

 

oh gees. if it's so irritating then let it be. people will <i>always</i> ask repeated questions. It's life. It's people.
