2000 NISSAN MAXIMA Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

ENGINE RUNS ROUGH DURING COLD WEATHER (<50 DEGREES) AND TRIPS THE CODE FOR ENGINE MISFIRE. THE CODE DOES NOT ALWAYS TELL WHICH CYLINDER HAS THE MISFIRE. ENGINE COILS DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBLEM, BUT REPLACEMENT ONLY DELAYS ANOTHER MISFIRING FOR A WHILE. I LIKE THE CAR BUT DOUBT I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN SEPT '02 AND THEY DETERMINED THE COILS WERE NO GOOD. THEY REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE COILS NEED REPLACING AGAIN. DEALER MENTIONED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL COILS. OBVIOUSLY THEY USED ORIGINAL COILS WHEN THEY REPLACED THEM IN 2002. NOW THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE COILS OR THE LABOR.*AK

VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE. IAC VALVE WAS REPLACED, DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE 5 TIMES IN THE DEALER AND ALSO THEY HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER SINCE JANUARY OF 2002 BUT THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. NLM

CONSUMER STATED ENGINE WILL MAKE A "POPPING" NOISE DURING ACCELERATION AND A "KNOCKING" NOISE DURING NORMAL OPERATION. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *AK *YH

ENGINE KNOCK (PINGING) AT 2K RPM, 40 MPH. *AK

1. ON COLD DAYS, PROCEEDING TO DRIVE AFTER BRIEF WARM-UP, ENGINE NEARLY STALLS WHEN RPM REACHES AROUND 2000. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE APPLIED BRAKES WITH A LOT OF FORCE. 2. CAR STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE LIGHT, COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE FOR 30-45 SEC AFTERWARDS. 3. DEALER CHECKED THE ENGINE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED OR WHILE MAKING ANY TRAFFIC MANEUVERS VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY CAUSE. *AK CONSUMER STATES STALLING OCCURS MORE SPECIFICALLY WHEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR OR GOING AROUND CORNERS, VEHICLE WILL START UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. *SLC
