Thanks, Aaron. The video does make removing that nut look easy...but to be honest, it makes the rest of the job look harder than I thought! He shows removing the fan on the radiator as well as the...

Idler tensioner pulley 14mm nut replacement?

I'm about to attempt replacing my alternator on my 2000 Maxima. I've read the helpful write-up linked within. I may wind up taking it to a garage - they have quoted me $150 for the labor.

I...

That doesn't make sense. Where did you get the new MAF? I installed one a couple of years ago on my 2K GLE, got it from Nissan, it was identical to the original one in my car. (Not to solve the...

OK mission accomplished: radiator drained, thermostat replaced on my 2000 Maxima.

The radiator drain plug is indeed on the BOTTOM of the radiator (not on the back side) - this is what is...

Thanks. So just to be clear: if you were going to drain the radiator, would you get under the car - jack it up or up on ramps - and remove those lower covers to get to the drain plug? Because I...

Thanks, I already have the replacement thermostat in its housing and have located the thermostat on the engine. But if I don't drain the coolant from the radiator first and just unhook the hose from...

Location of radiator drain plug on 2000 Maxima

OK, I feel like an idiot even asking this question...but where exactly is the radiator drain plug on a 2000 Maxima? I too have a bad thermostat (stuck open - takes a long time to warm up in winter,...

I kept getting P0171 and P0174 (and pinging on and off) for quite a while on my 2000 GLE. Finally replaced the MAF. No more pinging, no more P0171 and P0174 and car runs great (except now I'm...

When replacing the MAF in my 2K Max recently, I considered this option instead of replacing the whole MAF. I even got a Torx T20 to try to remove the thermistor. It would fit the keyed screws on...

I just replaced the MAF on my 2000 Maxima. It's a different MAF than yours I believe but mine is easy to replace, if you are mechanically inclined. If yours is removed/replaced like mine, all you...

Right, that's what the service manager suggested as well. However, consider this: with the old MAF, I've now driven 80 miles and no codes. I put my OBDII reader on and scanned - and all the tests...

Thanks, I will look at this - although I still don't know why P0400 would then go away once I went back to the old MAF if the EGR temp sensor was clogged - unless the service manager was right and...

I've got a 2000 Maxima GLE, 96K miles. I replaced my mass airflow sensor because the car was throwing P0171 and P0174 and running sluggish. With new MAF the car runs much better and no more...

I have a 2000 Maxima that is doing the same thing (I know this is a 4G section but the 2000 and the 1999 Maxima both use an electronic EGR, so the system ought to be about the same). Here's what...

My 2K Max has been pinging for months now, even on premium gas. Putting in a bottle of Octane Boost really helps for about one tank, then it's back to normal. The pinging usually goes away after...
