Re: 2009 Maxima acceleration spec comparo [redbull]

Written by: habitat1 on Dec 19, 2008 04:16 PM

In the Jan 2009 issue of Motor Trend, the professional testers report a 5.9 second 0-60 MPH time with the new Max, and ¼ mile time of 14.4 98.6 MPH. www.theautochannel.com reported a 0-60 MPH time for the1997 Maxima at 7.5 seconds, and ¼ mile time of 17.0 84 MPH I would be careful about comparing acceleration times from different sources. They all have their own testing ... Read More...

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it. I went to AutoZone today and now the only code is the EGR valve. I guess the O2 sensor got better - lol. Read More...

The EGR valve can be tested with a simple vacuum tool; the 02 is harder to diagnose, but a good mechanic can do it with a sophisticated voltmeter (not a cheapie) and with the car running. He can also put a machine on to sniff the tailpipe to see if you are running richer than normal and therefore possibly damaging the catalytic. Read More...

The last four times I've filled up I gotten between 23 - 26.5 miles a gallon, which is about average. The only thing I notice is when I decelerate and than hit the gas to pick up speed, the switching of gears is not that smooth. Read More...

1999 Nissan Maxima O2 sensor and EGR valve

Written by: og4life on Mar 07, 2008 00:04 PM

I have a 99 Maxima with $205K miles on it. My service engine light has been on for as long as I can remember. I had Autozone check it and the machine pulled codes P0400(Blocked or failed EGR valve) and P0138 (O2 sensor defective). I also had it checked by my mechanic a couple weeks later and he said no code was present and cleared it for me. Of course, a day later the light ... Read More...

one magazine recently talking about new Hyundai SUV said the following "The build quality seems to fit the low price". Even though I am a little disappointed with 07 Maxima redesign, there is no reason even to measure it up to Azera. If you drive SE version, you will love and you will enjoy every moment doing it. Unlike Azera, whose ride is similar to Buicks of the ... Read More...

Written by: forum on Apr 05, 2007 00:43 AM

I have 1999 Nissan Maxima GLE. During the last 1 month, the car stopped twice while driving or waiting in the traffic. In the first occasion, the ABS light first got turned on. I turned off the car, and after a while, when I started it, I saw the ABS light going on again. Then after driving for about 15 minutes, I suddenly felt that the car did not have any driving power ... Read More...
