2000-2003 Nissan Maxima: 2000 Maxima misfire and stalling after warmup

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 23:50:57 -0700

Having trouble with my 2000 Maxima, clean throttlebody, tested IAC valve, replaced MAF sensor, now I can feel a misfire. It has stalled on me several times and is reluctant to restart, what is the proper way to test ignition coils ?

Is it possible that it is fuel related? 147,000 miles on this car, do not know the history of the fuel filter.

Not once has there been a definitive photo of where the ac drain line is located on a 2003 Nissan Maxima?

Isn’t there anyone that actually has a photo of where the air conditioning drain line cones out of the firewall ?

2004-2008 Nissan Maxima: Won't start. Just clicks when I turn the key.

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 20:09:19 -0700

I drove 2005 nissan maxima se to the store when I came out it wouldn't start tried jumping no start, Just make a click noise from what sounds from the dash of the passenger side at first but after we got the new battery it now sounds like the click sound is coming from center under the hood. But all lights power on heater window work radio all work head lights come on and do deem while trying to turn it over. got new battery no start checked ground wires good. From what I can tell the fuses and relays seem to be working the battery reads at 12V but drops just a bit when I turn over the key. Now it was struggling to start but when I turn off the key then back on it start fine but it got me to the store it didnt get me home. The motor turns so it not locked up. But I did notice there was oil that leaked all over the wires that are between the battery and the motor once the air intake was removed did wipe them down but nothing changed I've google it, youtube it, and ask who I could bout it locally but it all leads to dead ends. Please any advice is got to better then what I have now. I just bought it uses drove it about 2 weeks then it died. Thank anyone with advice in advance

2008-2014 Nissan Maxima: Possible reasons my car will not go forward or backwards

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 05:10:10 -0700

I have a 2010 nissan maxima the other day it started running really rough and through the following check engine codes:

P0014, P0024, P0171

I was able to resolve the P0171 by cleaning the Mass Air Flow sensor with the appropriate cleaner. After doing so it ran better but was still running rough however i tried to make it home (8 miles). I was 2 miles away and when accelerating from a stop sign the car totally gave up and rolled into the shoulder. It was at this point i called tow truck. While waiting for the tow truck my car battery died and lights were flashing on and off over and over. I was now thinking maybe the problem is the battery. Today i replaced the battery went to test it out and the car wouldn't accelerate. I am left scratching my head.

the car starts right up.
In park the engine revs rpms respond
when attempting to drive rpm does not go past 3000 +/-
When going in forward/reverse it moves a little but no force the slightest hill it cannot defeat.
