1995 nissan maxima bogging

95 max battery new, today no problem starting, engine running ok on idle then, at 2000rpm motor bogs losses power. changed fuel filter, air filter good. Watched air intake at manifold, and reved up throtle cable, inspected and saw the intake door open and at about 2000rpm, it fluters closing, and losses power. won't go past 2000rpm, drove to and from work took a long time got car up to about 57mph, took a long time to get used to this. Can you please help me..

    My 1995 Maxima is doing the same. I'm thinking it could be a faulty MAF, but not sure. I read in other forums that replacing the MAF or in some cases, cleaning your existing MAF may do the trick. I am going to give the cleaning a try this afternoon and see if that works. If anyone knows a solution, please let me know.

My 95 did this exactly to a Tee. After trying several things, like cleaning/replacing MAF, fuel injection cleaner to no avail, I ended up unplugging my battery overnight to reset the ECU. The next morning, I put cleaned old MAF and put it back on. Then hooked up battery. Started up, no bogging at 2000 rpms, no stalling, etc. The new MAF was an aftermarket that I bought on Ebay for $86. My car didn't like the aftermarket MAF, so I wouldn't recommend. Anyway, that was 2 weeks ago, and everything is still running good. Hope this helps.

So you hear any different sound from the exhaust?
sounds like a plugged cat.

Ok my 2000 Maxima won't stay running. It starts fine, but when the idle drops it stutters and dies.

The symptoms you describe can be caused by a faulty MAP sensor or airflow sensor.

Try disconnecting the electrical connector on the MAP sensor and see if the car drives okay.

Car idles fine, but sputters, bogs and dies if gas pedal is pressed.

new spark plugs this decade. (a tune up?0
the filter is part of all 60k tuneups. letting it clog wrecks good pumps.
my wild guess, its lack of fuel flow, do to old filter.
or low fuel pressure.
car is identical to a Corolla. so is not unique or rare as some Geo cars are.
the cam belt not changes, invites valve kissing piston tops. BOOM
end of engine. (costs more to fix then worth of car)
the word is bogging, my engine bogs
if if bogs WOT (wide open throttle) and dont catch up < ITS NOT THE TPS. ever.
tps bad causes short bogs, called hesitations.
The map sensor , is what measure air flow and the ECU matches fuel to this air flow.
my guess, is it does that, but fuel pressure is like 15PSI, bad.

2006 maxima se starts@idle ok but not much power 20 mpg

you may have a restricted catalytic converter plugging up exhaust flow and bogging down the engine. on the vq35 engine there are 2 precats located right under the exhaust manifold and it is then plumbed down the downpipe and into the main catalytic converter. i would remove the downpipe and inspect the the condition of the catalyst.

95 gmc sierra won't hold steady rpm

Sounds like wiring problems with the engine harness.
The oil pressure not working could cause the hard starting problem.
The idle problem could be a faulty idle air control valve or a vac leak.
I would start with the check engine light and find out what the codes are.

1995 Nissan Maxima idle problems

Let's try the cheapest fix first. Change the fuel filter out. You'll probably see a brown looking goop in the gas, This is an "ETHANOL" problem. Read up on it. These are all related to so many idle and acceleration problems. Buy a can of SEAFOAM at the parts house. Fill up tank with Premium and add SEAFOAM. Then change filter out before 500 more miles. This should clean out the water and the goop and the carbon build up caused by the ETHANOL. Add a can of SEAFOAM every 3000 mile after that to a full tank of gas. It will keep your emissions,engine, and fuel lines clean. And will keep your car from line freeze up. Good luck.

95 nissan maxima runs rough

i would change the knock sensor first. if that doesn't fix the problem then a complete tune up would be the next step. but if the sensor has no resistance that is where i would start
