Just succesfully completed 1995-1998 swap
So my rotted out Maxima is now in the junk yard stripped of any part worth anything. And my 1998 Is rippin' down the road. Had to switch the engine sensors, as the part number were all different even if they looked the same. The throttle body,AC compressor I switched alternators although i don't no if it was necessary and power steering pump intake heads block all the same except the fuel rail on the 98 had flat loops ant the end of the fuel rail instead of a inclined loop, my 1995 injectors work just fine Just was proud, thouhgt I would share. Love to hear about other people's swaps. nd what to do next when ya wanna go faster cheap

Congrats on your successful engine swap.
I just had a mechanic do the same to my 95 Max and now I have the engine from a 98. Unfortunately I am having many problems. The engine can't run above 3,500 rpm. It hesitates whenever I hit the gas. I'm not sure what to do or who can help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The problem with that is that the mechanic that replaced your engine knows an infinite amount more about your specific install than we possibly can. Your problem is just way too vague for a good hypothesis. Now, if you're looking for speculation and conjecture, I'm sure many will fill that need. Is there no other information you can give us?

I have a 95 Maxima and just had the engine replaced with a 98 Maxima's engine. Now the speedometer doesn't work and engine won't rev above 3,500rpm The 98 engine was in good shape and came from a Maxima that was totaled about 2 months ago. Unlike Speedofsalt32, I still have all of the old sensors and ECM from the 95. The "check engine" light is not on so it seems like the electronics are getting along, but the way it drives says otherwise. Does anyone know if it's the sensors and ECM need to be changed when swapping engines to a later year? Can the ECM be reprogrammed?

speed sensor and maf. both would throw a CEL though. does your CEL illuminate when you turn the car on? (I.E. turn key to on position, but don't start the car)
if not, you also have a blown/disconnected bulb. if you went to a shady dude, he probably fcuked a bunch of siht up and pulled the bulb so you wouldn't blame him lol
