Yes, disconnected the battery overnight to make sure the battery itself could hold a charge (it could). I'm sure that was enough time for the ECU to power down.

Thanks for the link to the FSM - I have a paper copy somewhere (huge thick book) but can't seem to find it now. Interesting point about the BCM operating in fail-safe mode - if this is the case,...

Possibly, but I'd like to rule out the easy stuff before tackling the hard stuff. So with the BCM, I'm thinking of whatever is tied to it which receives power with the ignition off - for example, an...

Wow I never thought I'd come back 4 years later and find a question I still remember the answer to.

Go for the KYB AGX's - I had Tokico Blues on my H&R's and even those were too soft. The AGX's...

To add more to the story, I've noticed the battery saver function, which shuts off the interior lights/headlights, hasn't been working for a while now either.

Farewell to the Superblack Dust Magnet

I never thought the day would come, when I would officially take a leave of absence from Maxima.org.

Two weeks ago, I purchased a 2003 Nissan Murano SE AWD midnight blue. I will be leaving for...

I agree with the Aamco guy if the fluid is really dark due to oxidation. This is how it is with old radiator coolant, once it gets so old, its the gunk and sludge that holds the radiator together. ...

Maybe shifting to neutral during long red lights is ok, but I would not do it for stop and go traffic. Idling for a long time in drive builds up transmission fluid temperature, and that can lead to...

Seems like corrosion due to moisture getting through. Yeah, not very helpful, but at least there was no corrosion on the electrode. Your engine probably suffered no ill effects from the dirty plug.

I'm not sure why anyone who paid for the FSM would then go post it up for free for other people to download. I paid $85 for my book version and its money well spent.

I usually drive my Maxima everyday (97 GXE auto) but I took a trip lately and did not drive for a week. Coming back, it was a brisk night, around 50 degrees, and on startup, I had about a second or...

Does it happen immediately after the car has already started? If so, its the starter.

I think most automotive shops have a legal obligation to recycle used auto fluids, no matter what the source. My local Kragen has drums in the back room where I can pour my used oil into.

Yeah the tire mileage set by most manufacturers favor a soft ride over handling or fuel mileage. I set my 17's to 38F, 36R. Sounds high, but I get responsive steering and good wear at those...

IF you do city driving, don't be surprised to average 16-17mpg, especially if you use your A/C.
