2000 Nissan Maxima SE intermitten startups
Hi, I have recently replaced a bad battery (it had a small crack in it around the negative terminal). My car sometimes starts automatically and other times takes several cranks to start. The engine has roughly 139000 miles on it. I had the starter tested at the parts store and it passed. I then took a reading when it started it had 12v at the starter and when it didn't it ...

Re: pricing 3 motor mounts for Nissan maxima 2000 automatic [emceeaye]
I'd figure about 4.5 hours total. There may be some time-saving in doing all three. I'm not so sure I agree with the way you are planning to do this, however. Most shops don't take all that kindly to having parts brought in from outside, and even if they are amenable to that, they will not warranty the labor should the part fail---so in other words, if you buy the part ...

pricing 3 motor mounts for Nissan maxima 2000 automatic
Hi Nissan Maxima experts, I'm currently looking to replace the 3 motor mounts that have broken on my Nissan Maxima 2000 automatic, including the lower cradle mount (in between the right and left mount), the right passenger side mount, and the left radiator side mount. The older this car gets, the more expensive it's becoming to get it fixed. Rather than take it to a dealership, I would like to buy ... Read More

Re: good deal or not? [ahashmi]
Hi ahashmi, thanks I tried that site I think it sounds better than putting $2000 out of pocket and paying $315 monthly however I don't think they would take my 10 maxima s and pay off Nissan roughly 26 payments of $309 and still keep the payments at $295. I don't know if the dealership can match that price either buy if they can reduce the $2000 to $1000 or close ... Read More

Re: 2000 Maxima [jbarb10]
I had the same problem. Nissan garage couldn't figure it out because they wouldn't drive it long enough for it to happen. It turned out to be the vehicle speed sensor, a/k/a revolution sensor. There are 2 parts called "speed sensor" - Make sure you get the one that goes on the transmission, not on the axle. It will fix your problem.

Re: Question about 2000 Nissan Maxima keys lost [mawmawj]
This is how it's done in New York City, at least in Queens County. You call your local dealer, parts Dept, Get the name of the parts manager or employee.Then call Nissan at 1-800-Nissan1. Instruct them to send the key code to the dealer. Then you go to the dealer with proof of ownership anf they will reprogram the key. $50 to reprogram and $85 for the key blank.

How were Michelin Pilot Sport AS in terms of handling, rain perf, noise and comfort? I have Michelin Pilot Sports on my new Z roadster, and so far (after 2 months) like them very much. Noise, handling, everything, is fine. Superior road handling in torrential rains (I've been driving it on the Outer Banks, where rain storms can be sudden and fierce). I felt very secure. These are NOT A/S, though, ... Read More

Re: 07 Maxima [xrunner2]
We just traded in our 2000 Maxima SE 5sp manual loaded w/ everything on a '07 Camry V6 SE. While the Maxima felt a bit sportier, the Camry blows it away. Faster, handles as well (had 17" Michelin Pilot Sport AS on the Max), quieter, has NAV, XM, bluetooth, a superior sounding JBL (vs Bose in Max), and many more safety features. The reason I didn't even test drive the new ... Read More

2000 SE 02 heater circuit malfunction
The code that my 2000 maxima is giving is (P0141) 02 heater circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 2. So now they told me that after they replaced that sensor, now it is giving an error for bank 1 sensor 1, and after they replaced that, it gives an error back to the first sensor again. So now they figured the problem is not the sensors and they want to take the ... Read More

help... just bought '99 Maxima and SES light came on
I can't believe this... on Friday I bought a 1999 Maxima SE five speed with 118k miles from a used car dealer and ten minutes (literally) after driving it off the lot, the service engine soon light came on. I wasn't even home yet! After I got home I googled this topic specifically and found out that apparently the 1999 and 2000 maximas have terrible problems with the SES light repeatedly ... Read More

1995 Nissan Maxima
The car sounds like it has a rev limiter when the motor hit 2000 rpm's when your driving or not. It starts good and idles good. Already checked the fuel pump pressure, it's good. Checked for any codes with a scanner, none come up for anything. Just wondering if anybody has any ideas.

Crossed Drilled Rotors
Anyone recommend a high performance brand for a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I am purchasing Hawk break pads front and rear and looking into high performance rotors. Does anyone have them on their Maxima and recommend a brand? If so, where did you buy them and around how much were they? I am going to replace front and rear at the same time. Thanks.

Re: Maxima 2000 in-cabin microfilter [dmaljunk]
I was surprised that my '00 had the slot but no filters and thought that it was unlike Nissan to go el cheapo in that department. Guess not!! I used a wetvac to remove whatever dust/dirt in the area and wiped it down with a damp cloth before installing new filters. Still can't understand why they didn't install the filters as the unit is far more dirty than it needed to ... Read More

Maxima 2000 front breaks
I had my front pads and rotors replaced about 10K miles ago. The pads and rotors were from the Nissan dealer. At some point a mechanic said that my break pads are too rough. Now I started hearing squeeling and uneven breaking at low speeds and so took the car for maintenance. My mechanic is replacing the pads and re-surfacing the rotors because they are grooved. How could this happen if ... Read More

2000 Maxima Water Pump Replacement and Repair Manuals

Re: 2000 Nissan Maxima [amatthews]
but don't just take my word here, the EGR route is one possible cause. You should really have a knoweldgeable mechanic there when your car stalls. When I had an EGR Valve tube clogged up, the car was mostly stalling on cold mornings and was shaking real bad before eventually stalling. If yours cuts off without any shaking then this can definitely be something else... Good luck and don't you wonder ... Read More

Re: 2000 Nissan Maxima [amatthews]
no, you need to remove intake manifold to get to the EGR Valve pipe, which often clogs up. On the bright side, once the manifold is removed you get to replace the manifold gaskets and really clean the throttle body (by actually takinng it off the vehicle with the manifold). You also get easy access to rear valve cover and so you can easily replace the valve cover oil gaskets as ... Read More

Re: 2000 Nissan Maxima [dmaljunk]
Wow that was a quick reply, thank you. However the car is more inclined to cut off when it is warm. And this is when it is turned on. It doesn't happen while I am driving or anything like that. Finally since I don't have all that knowledge is checking the EGR Valve passages something that can been done relatively easily? Can I find how on the internet or would you ... Read More

Re: 2000 Nissan Maxima [amatthews]
if the problem goes away as the car warms up then check EGR Valve passages, they often clog up with time, they need to be cleaned.

2000 Nissan Maxima
I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima. It likes to cut off after I start it. I turn the key and the rpm needle goes up and then comes down. It won't cut off when I am turning it on for the first time of the day. It seems like the more I turn the engine on the more likely it is to cut off until I let it rest for a ... Read More

Code P1320 Ignition Coils - 2000 Maxima
I got the infamous P1320 code with no other codes so there is no way to know which cylinder misfired. I actually know how the code came on - I felt the rpms drop momentarily on a red light a few times. It only happenned a few times. I had the code reset and inspected all coils myself. The part numbers for front (left) coils are 22448-2Y005 and for the rear ... Read More

Nissam Maxima 05 servicing
Hi Folks, I am owning 05 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SL. I am not driving it too much as I am a road warrior and will be travelling very often. So miles on my odometer are very less. Questions - 1) Nissan suggests servicing every 6 months e.g. 1st at 3750 miles or 6 months, 2nd at 7500 or 12 months. At 6 months I had only 2000 miles at 12 months ... Read More

Re: Nissan Maxima 2000 cold start problems [gen]
thanks, I did just that but in the end it was a clogged up EGR tube. As soon as they cleaned it up the problem is gone. Manifold needed to be removed to get to it though so I didn't attempt it myself. Costed me a couple hundred but on the way I got some gaskets replaced and throttle body cleaned as well. Thanks for replying.

Re: Nissan Maxima 2000 cold start problems [dmaljunk]
I have a 1995 GLE and the cold start problem was solved by replacing the coolant temperature sensor. Make sure you get the right thread size for your car. It's a relatively cheap solution at about $20 and well worth the try.

Re: Maxima Shimmy /vibrations [dhood1]
Most likely you have a tire with a loose belt. No amount of balancing will correct the problem. Suggest you take it to a tire place that has a road force tire balancer (such as Hunter 9700) , that can measure the road force variation on your wheels/tires. Excessive road force will indicate a bad tire which should be replaced. I am almost certain that this is your problem. Nissan got ... Read More

Re: Nissan Maxima 2000 cold start problems [jbrock718]
According to the manual the car is designed for 91 octaine so even if you use 87 it should give you pinging or bad performance but not stalling. It's not the gas. I am looking into this problem on my car. I am pretty sure it's sensor related but I havn't figured out which one yet. Latest guess - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Will let you know when I replace it ... Read More

Re: Nissan Maxima 2000 cold start problems [dahuber]
