Bought an 01 Maxima/i30 ECM (A56-Q79-ZA0) from "MrAutoParts" (also known by Kobi Papo) on eBay, and I guess I picked the wrong seller to buy it from.

3500 OBO

I bought my 01 Max for $2800 with 158k but I got scammed. If I knew about this IACV/ECM bull**** before I bought the car, I wouldn't have offered half that. Since yours doesn't seem to...

Transmission Fluid Looks Like Engine Oil (oops)

So upon messing around under the hood of my 01 Max SE, I see a dipstick next to the block. Thinking it's the oil dipstick, I proceed to "check my oil". Looks very dark, but full so I figure hmph and...

If the IACV or motor mounts fry the STA509A chip in the ECU, it wouldn't put the ECU into safe mode. It will just have idle/stalling problems, spit the P0505 code, and probably a rough start.
