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.

I\'d take out the MAF sensor by the air cleaner box, take out the two screws but unplug it first, and inspect it for consensation oxidizing on the contacts, if you see it take an old toothbrush and lightly scrub it off the contacts...put it back together and plug it in and start it up...That is what the problem was with my 95 Maxima and it ran like showroom after I figured that out. Took a few days but it was a relief and everyone thinks that stuff is waterproof on that air intake set up....nope.

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima with 206,000 miles. I had the engine replaced five months ago in the summer. Now its winter and this engine is having problems. It starts fine but runs very low on idle and I have to put my foot on the gas pedal to stop it from stalling. But once the engine warms up it runs fine. What could be the problem?

Have you motor mounts checked they may not be broken, but worn and are transmitting the engine vibration throught to the rest of the car
