ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS / ECU PROBLEM

SOURCE: Have 95 Nissan Maxima V6 3000 twin cam 24v. The

you have to eliminate several items
one at a time.
but it all comes down to three things air, fuel and fire.(spark)
disconect the gas line and see if the fuel pump is pumping at rated pressure you mayneed a gage for that, gas is dangerous be very careful dumping any amounts about, or disconect and see it squirt into a container ,again be careful. if you are confident that the streem of gas is strong. then it is not the fuel pump.
spark? The sensor for the spark plugs may be a pcm system which is a pulse hall effect sensor that sends a signal though a coil in the distributor. the steel in the coil may be getting rusty and swelling ( steel swells if it rusts ) the mettal plates in the center of the coil may be expanding and now are stretching the copper in the coil so now they are broken but just touching enough to run untill it gets to hot ( mettle expands when hot ) causing the hall effect sensor not to work propery all the time.
check the air cleaner for a proper filter to be clean.
mostly it is either fuel or spark.

jorgeva: on the driver's side to gain access, you must remove the air cleaner assembly. At that point, you can see the back of the light which has a plastic cap. Rotate this "counter clockwise" and you can pull it back from the back of the lamp housing. From there you will see how the bulb it self is plugged in, which is obvious. Unplug it. There is a "spring "like latch retainer to hold the bulb in place. Unlatch it, remove the bulb and install the new bulb.
CAUTION!!!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS AREA OF THE NEW BULB! Only handle the rear section. Reassemble in the reverse order.
The right side will require the removal of the windshield washer tank.
I trust this will have answered your question. If you would, let me or FIXYA know if I have solved your problem......

SOURCE: Hello, I bought my Maxima SE

As for trouble codes, and the dealers recommendation. They are true and accurate, although I would get a second opinion from another auto shop other than the dealer. Do not disclose what you already know other than the problems you are expriencing.

SOURCE: 1) Apx. how much would it cost parts & labor to change Ignition switch on a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE? 2) Do you think I can find the parts?

HI, the cost of the ignition switch is $27.99. the labor cost is usually figure by the hour and it is set a 50 dollar an hour increment. In my shop, we have a set minimum labor charge of two hour as most shops in my area. Total estimated cost including the labor and parts should be around $127.99 give or take.

You can most certainly purchase this part yourself on-line at www.autozone.com

Part Number is - LS812
OEM Number---- 48750- 1E411

Please rate and god bless:)

If I got $ 800.00 every time I replaced spark plugs and plug wires I would be living on a tropical island !
The almost stalling may not even be about spark plugs, which by the way are about $6.50 at any auto parts store.
I would think you should have a check engine light coming on in the dash, or at least have someone plug a scan tool in to retrieve any codes.
Find a reliable auto center, and have them take a look.
Please let me know what you find.
