OrenB217 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So i went today to pick up the car...payed $881 , i started it, started a lot better, so i was happy. The belts were moving, much much better and pretty much zero noise coming from them, EXCEPT the clunking sound is still coming from the car. So i thought it was just the exhaust thing so i drove off and about 2 minutes later, the engine light came back on...........FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk, u have no idea how pissed i was. I went back and talked to them, they said, we'll find the problem and wont charge you anything for it, so i got a lil better, but i still have no car ...idk if these guys are good or not, i mean my dad had a maxima took it up to 400k miles taking it to these guys, so they sound legit, but idk. I cannot wait till i take mechanical classes at the community college here so i can say fuck car repair places in general Black 1998 Nissan Maxima1st Setup: 145.8 DB Outlaw @37 HZ On Music Out Of Trunk2nd Setup: 147.8 DB @42 HZ On Music Out The TrunkCurrent Trunk Build:153.8 DB Outlaw @ 49 HZ Out the trunk (150.8 DB Sealed)Team gg.

OrenB217 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 You gonna go to Parkland? I took collision repair classes there. yea, imma go there...nice dude!!!! a buddie of mine fixed my bumper for me, he is in the collision repair school there, his name is chris, maybe u know him. OK so this is the strangest shit i ever encountered. The guy called back and told me that the spark plugs were not on their tight enough, so he said its fine now, and surely enough it was, no clunking sound, no rough acceleration, no engine light ....i am happy/pissed at the same time, but at least its workin, now for a car wash (which i thought they would do for free, but they didnt)....the guys there said that they've seen maxima's in my year go far, they said im taking good care of it and my motor is running almost like new so that was good to hear Black 1998 Nissan Maxima1st Setup: 145.8 DB Outlaw @37 HZ On Music Out Of Trunk2nd Setup: 147.8 DB @42 HZ On Music Out The TrunkCurrent Trunk Build:153.8 DB Outlaw @ 49 HZ Out the trunk (150.8 DB Sealed)Team gg.

Maxim Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Lmao, not once did you bother checking the code! I'd be so pissed if I was the one who wrote post #2: Having to give it gas to get it going sounds like the fuel pumpAutozone/Kragen should be able to pull the codes for free then you take the codes and go on the net and see what they mean...any shop can do this With my car I have it built in so I can pull the codes myself through the dash and clear them wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be so pissed if I was the one who wrote post #2: ok dude, engine light went out last thurs at like midnight, friday morning before school, I called the nissan dealer to schedule service, they said monday morning was the only day they were free, from 930 am fri to about 11 at night, i had school/work, plus i didnt drive the car at all, sat morning, i woke up to drive the car to autozone before work, car didnt start after numerous attempts...from 9-6, i worked, then came home to take the car to autozone, car didnt start after numerous attempts. Sunday, I worked, car didnt start again. Monday morning, the car (barely) started (prolly cuz it was 35 degrees outside, the weekend was cold, so i took it to service it to get it running again.... Name one way that i couldve taken it to autozone? I was going to listen to Post #2, but that never happened...car runs like new now *knock on the wood*, now me and my buddie are gonna see what we are gonna do about this exhaust, stock or racing, we dont know.
