B Slaps Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 i have owned a bunch of different vehicles. my rex used to do this. i changed the plugs and it was legit. i wouldnt pay anyone $695 for a service job. not even a high priced hooker. i hope u atleast got a blowjob or something. belts are cheap and plugs dont usually cost more than $60. better get yourself a Chilton book and get at it son. youll save tons in the long run.

tlee2 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 yea imma ask the dealer for the codes...the check engine problem was the sensors/belts/needed a tune up which i believe totally because my engine was acting up latelySAME THING HAPPENED TOO....i thought it was my alternator too, so i would drive around bumpin, then park it on my driveway, then the next morning it didnt start on a fully cold engine. It started if i didnt play the system the night before but ever since the checklight came on (thursday night) it did it without me having anything on at all (havent heard bass since wednesday). It hasnt ever not started before i had my system put in, so idk if its related, ill have to find out, but my voltage at idle was at 12.6, so no reason why its the alternator or batteries....all i know is that tomorrow, i expect a much quieter engine, no check light and my acceleration to be fixed, ill do the seafoam when it gets warmer outside yeah i was always parenoid cause iwas never shore if my electical would cut it but its all good lol. Im guessing yours is nothin electrical either.

Baydestrian Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 LMAO @ the post about the gas turning your SEL on ahahahahahahahaha...what the problem was was that ur gas cap wasn't on tight enough and went you filled it up again you put the cap on fully so the light turned off...this is probably the most common SEL code, make sure you turn your cap for a few clicks To the OP if you hear a rattling from under your car then yes that is the cat, its like a honeycomb inside and it breaking apart and rattling around inside...happened to my Caprice and my friends Audi is doing it but his got worse from driving it so now he is losing power when accelerating and it sounds bad... Oh yeah, if you live in the Bay Area he is selling his Audi A4 Quattro, its a 99 with only 62,xxx miles on it...just needs the cat replaced...he's selling for 5k I believe...way under KBB 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobonit Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Wow dude, sorry I didn't see this post earlier. You can check your own codes with a screwdriver. Read both links, first one is how to get the Code from the ECU by watching the Flashing SEC Light, second link is what it means. Get Check Engine Light Code Maxima ECU Decoder Just follow those instructions and you will have your DTC "Diagnostic trouble code" 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I agree with the post above buy a manual and do it your self I have been doin it for years. Only thing is you asked how hard it is to change belts most are easy the timing belt on the other hand is very touchy I personally dont like doing it unless its on a easy car like my rex. In the manual you'l learn enough where you can do most of your own repairs for cheap. I had the same problem as you and I just replaced my 02 sensor and maf sensor. I also put on a skunk exhaust and header kit. The car is running a lot better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
