I guess, I’ll have another pissed at me poster, but will you please, stop revving the engine? It’s the shortest and surest way to kill it like real bad.
Otherwise, good news for you. She starts.
Bad news – does not like any load, right? Chokes?
Noise in the background almost sounds like backfiring, so it’s timing issue, abut then I doubt it’d start with timing that much off.
Do you have any CEL flashing? Any error codes pulled?
Curious, what does it say on the green sticky note?
If the noise in the background is NOT backfiring and is simply hole in a muffler or something, then you have fuel supply issue or idle control issue. Fuel supply can be caused by fuel supply system itself, from pump to fuel pressure regulator or by any sensor that tells ECM how to dispense fuel.First thing I would do is check the fuel pressure. It could be a plugged fuel filter or tired fuel pump.
Hahaha, its a nissan im about ready to enduro it lol. Its not backfiring its just misfiring. The green card says “Turn off headlights please” My girlfriend always leaves the damn lights on and then the battery is dead! In the history of the car, the check engine light has NEVER once come on!! And the obd port is bad so I got no idea!
UPDATE* I went to the MAF sensor and jiggled the connector. Car idled up a bit, jiggled it again and it died. I tried it 3 consecutive times and did the same thing each time. But whats weird is after I jiggle it once I can drive it. After i do it again it dies then I start it back up and I am unable to drive it and it does what the video shows.
CLEAN MAF SENSOR
But use ONLY MAF sensor cleaner. Or you’ll damage it. Also, clean MAF connector with electrical cleaner and seal with dielectric grease. Total repair should be about $15 or less.
Does she read your notes?
Nissan or not, no need to kill the horse.When my MAF sensor went, it did a similar thing (84 Z31, I’m assuming your Maxima has the VG30E, which is the same engine as mine). If a good and through cleaning doesn’t fix the issue (and the harness is good), unplug the connector from the MAF. Start the car. If it runs a lot smoother and idles properly, the MAF is bad.
