Po325 code on 97 nissan maxima

SOURCE: 97 Nissan Maxima OBDll code

The code p1400, is for an egrc solenoid valve, not the egr valve, they are 2 seperate items

exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR): An emissions-control system that reduces an engine's production of oxides of nitrogen by diluting the air/fuel mixture with exhaust gas so that peak combustion temperatures in the cylinders are lowered.

exhaust-gas recirculation valve (EGR valve): A valve, generally vacuum operated, to regulate the exhaust gas flow into the intake manifold.

EGR control solenoid (EGRC): receives ported and manifold vacuum, an EGR temperature sensor and a control backpressure transducer valve. THE operation of the system is controlled by the PCM which operates the EGRC solenoid. The manifold vacuum system utilizes a vacuum tap in the air intake system positioned after the throttle valve. The ported vacuum control system uses a vacuum tap in the throttle body which is exposed to an increasing percentage of manifold vacuum as the throttle valve is opened during acceleration. The backpressure transducer valve monitors the exhaust backpressure as the engine rpm increases or decreases to aid in controlling the amount of the EGR vacuum signal. The EGR temperature sensor is used to inform the PCM of temperature changes in the EGR passage way. This helps the PCM determine the EGR on/off time.

that should help on what they all do.

now by knowing all of that i highly doubt that the control solenoid could cause the problem, and if it was that then u probably have a PCM problem not the solenoid or both.P01400 generally means that the ECM is not seeing the correct voltage drop when it grounds the EGRC valve located between the banks of CLY'S near the top Radiator hose location the EGRC solenoid valve turns vacuum on to the EGR circuit or vents. With a OHM meter unplug the EGRC valve and measure resistance at the two pins. Most likely your car has a bad EGRC valve or a BAD wire to it from the engine control module. Valve Nissan Dealership would cost around $45 labor to diagnosis and replace $150. Make sure proper diagnosis is performed check the engine wiring harness with a stop lamp light bulb hooked to the EGRC connector to see if it lights up when driving. That way you know the circuit is ok. A engine harness with a open circuit is a bad surprise after spending $200 for the valve. Good Luck

just changed battery,,all good,,radio is out,,tried fuses ,, what can i do to get the radio back on...

throttle position sensor,or egr valve,also check your air filter,if this helps please gine me a fix ya vote

if you can get the codes... why don't you have a book that comes with the code reader
get yourself a Haynes manual #64200 at your local parts store or online

SOURCE: 2000 3.3l nissan motor runs very rough, stalls,

check wiring and connection if good replace knock sensor
