2k max, 200k miles on.
Gave it a car wash today and upon driving out i realized my muffler had a hole in it.
driving to the muffler shop car stalled on me went into limp mode, TCS, SLIP SES all on.
restarted, limp mode dissapeared ses stayed on.
Mechanic put new muffler in and replaced my battery.
problem still same.
Car stalls at red light wont let me accelerate past 2000rpm
car is in limp mode right now.


MY SES has been on for the last year, its readyin 02 sensors mafs and crank sensor.

what do u guys think is the cheapest way to get this back up and running.

I have replaced my maf and many of my coils
thanks!

 

Well if you can't rev past 2000rpms that would seem like MAF. How long ago did you replace your MAF? Was it new or used? OEM?

 

Crank sensor would cause stalling MAF- limp mode, O2- sh!tty mileage. This is of course if some common things are OK like battery voltage and ground wires.

 

maf is about a year and a half, new from ebay not oem

i just went out to the car to look at the maf, its not a torx 15 screw holding it.. its shaped like a torx but has a island right in the middle of the screw.. any idea?

 

It is a security torx. Need a bit to be able to get it off. HF sells them for $8 and other bits.

 

crank sensor first, MAF second.

 

wow you can get a brand new maf from nissan for a 2000-2001 maxima for 90 bucks guess you got what you paid for

 

that light did not stare at you for a year for nothing, something needs replaced.

 

Change the MAF out, don't buy OEM parts off ebay. We have sites like courtesyparts.com for that....

 

1. Replace crank sensor
2. Replace MAF
3. Replace faulty O2 sensors

Call Dave Burnette at South Point Nissan for OEM parts. Let him know you are a member of Max.org and he will cut you some slack on pricing. (888) 254-6060

 

i forgot the code but are you gettn a P2138 (somthing like that) APPS... my 02 did it for a while but stopped somehow...

 

Are you sure it wont let you go past 2000 rpm? or does it just go very slowly after that?

because same thing happend to me and i had to replace my acc pedal sensor and my car was also in limp mode...
