This is a really good point. Yahoo shut down GeoCities a little while back. Does anyone know if the .org members who had GeoCities sites transferred the info elsewhere? If not, we just lost some great info... ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) tresboi http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603178-craig-brace-other-geocities-pages.html Relay colors????? http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603174-relay-colors.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:44:14 GMT 1990 GXE auto 110.000mi Anyone know what the differance between the different relay colors????

Anyone know what the differance between the different relay colors????
I have a blue and green that have the same plug, same diagram on top, different numbers.
In the manual both seem to be wired the same.

This is for the ECCS (Eng Cont) and ASCD (cruse control) relays. ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) abunai http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603174-relay-colors.html Stalling http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603169-stalling.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:12:40 GMT 1990 GXE auto 110,000mi Cleaned all sensor connections.

Cleaned all sensor connections.
Did the tap,tap test for the MAF meter. Nothing
Checked the cap and rotor. Good
Tested fuel pressure. Normal
Check for codes. None
All normal.

Car stalled after taking a right turn, 25mph, down a slight hill, very light on the gas.
This was after a 20 minute drive with one stop light.
When it stalled, I put it in neutral, it started right up.
Ran fine for the next 5 minutes of driving.
Let it sit for 45 minutes, started right up.
Drove for 10 minutes with no problem.

I'm thinking the MAF or TPS.
But now maybe a relay.
With the MAF and TPS, if they fail, engine would stall and a code would be set. No codes.
If a relay opened, stalling the engine, would any code be set?????

Any thoughts on which relays to change????

My O2 is old. Probably original. I should really change it.
I know it will run, although poorly, with the O2 disconnected.
But would a bad O2 stall the engine????

Seems to be an on-going problem with 3rd gens. ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) abunai http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603169-stalling.html 91 Problem http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603167-91-problem.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:22:51 GMT For some time now my 91 SE has been running kind of rough at idle.

It starts up right away in morning and idles pretty good. Once I shift into Drive with brake on the engine gets really rough and crazy. After about 3 mins this goes away and idles better. At all times the idle isnt completely smooth...there is an intermittent PUTT PUTT in the exhaust. If I turn the A/C on the idle smooths out perfect and PUTT PUTT from exhaust goes away. Driving around there is also a hesitation just off idle when leaving stoplights. Other than this the car runs perfect. Any ideas anyone? Why the perfect idle when A/C is turned on? Anybody experience somethin like this? Let me know...thanks

BTW, I replaced cap, rotor, plugs and wires recently..passed emissions check easy couple months ago. ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) 91WBSE http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603167-91-problem.html Rummble durring Acceleration after 5spd swap. http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603127-rummble-durring-acceleration-after-5spd-swap.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:17:40 GMT Alright have had the Max on the road a few days now, was running rough at first but i figured that was from old gas, it has sat since last march. ... Alright have had the Max on the road a few days now, was running rough at first but i figured that was from old gas, it has sat since last march.

the problem is most noticable during normal acceleration on the highway. it becomes very rough but doesnt have noticable power lose.when in cruise or deceleration the engine seems smooth. when in idle it seems smooth as well.

when making a long left hand bend there is a rummble from the passenger side as well and the rummble during accel feels also like its on the left.

Noticed, when coming to a light and stopping my engine will rev to about 2K once then maybe twice than resume normal idle. im thinking this maybe a leak in a vacuum line?

Am i having a detination issues? do i have a bad half shaft (rebooted the passenger side) ?

During the swap i replaced all of the vacuum lines and i did an oil change this morning. no different.

Things i have done:
5 spd swap.
replaced all vacuum lines.
all injectors ohm out 12~14 ohms also new as of last summer (bosch)

Suggestions, ideas, insults, all welcome.

fuel mileage seems normal. ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) 300zmax http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603127-rummble-durring-acceleration-after-5spd-swap.html Seafoam on a 3rd gen http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603104-seafoam-3rd-gen.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:23:10 GMT Does this stuff work or is it pointless??

Throttle position sensor
Water temp sensor
O2 sensor
Air flow meter
Distributor

Power transistor
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pump
Crank angle sensor
Auxiliary air control

Detonation sensor
EGR valve

As far as I know, none on the list has been changed.
kind of wondering which is a high mortality item. ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) abunai http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603093-have-you-had-change-these.html VG Crankshafts http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603015-vg-crankshafts.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:49:01 GMT So I thought I would ask some of you here, since on the Z31 forums, nothing except excessive flaming starts when someone brings up this subject. ... So I thought I would ask some of you here, since on the Z31 forums, nothing except excessive flaming starts when someone brings up this subject.

I have an "A" series VG30E, and a VG30DE crankshaft. I know there is not much benefit, there would be a lot of work involved, etc, etc... But I would like to put the DE crank in the "A" block.

There would be some good benefits of using a DE crank, like ATI Dampeners and a multitude of clutch/flywheel combos.

Anyone here have any knowledge about the different VG crankshafts? I do know that the snout is different on the DE crank and would need to be machined.

Thanks! ]]> 3rd Generation Maxima (1989-1994) neo_densetsu http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603015-vg-crankshafts.html Engine hesitation http://forums.maxima.org/3rd-generation-maxima-1989-1994/603008-engine-hesitation.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:28:14 GMT Just went out to pick-up dinner and engine died at the stop light.
Started right up, but had to hold the RPM's up to keep it running.
Put it in gear and it would hesitate like it was starving for gas.
After getting out of traffic and on a side road, it could idle fine.
Drove back home by putting it in neutral and drive to keep going.
Back home in the garage it idled fine in and out of gear.
Hungry so I used my other car to go get dinner.
It was raining.

I haven't checked it yet.
Probably do it tomorrow.
What I'm thinking is the air flow meter maybe going bad. It's original.
Any suggestions????
