Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / August 2004maxima acceleration question
i have a 2000 Maxima SE 5-spd and when i accelerate near or at full throttle especially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, once in awhile it feels as if the power cuts out for a 1/2 second than goes again several times, i dont know if it is torque steer or if the car is actually loosing some power.... i bought it used and i am afraid that it could be a problem....and also doesn't feel as fast as i thought it would be...maybe it's just me?? could i install a k&n intake in it? will it make it a little faster? what about the oxygen sensor cables? can someone out there help?!?!?!!? thanks Jon > i have a 2000 Maxima SE 5-spd and when i accelerate near or at full > throttle especially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, once in awhile it feels [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > someone out there help?!?!?!!? thanks > Jon Are you running premium in it? Clogged fuel filter, perhaps? Or the fuel pump is dying? > i have a 2000 Maxima SE 5-spd and when i accelerate near or at full > throttle especially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, once in awhile it feels [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > someone out there help?!?!?!!? thanks > Jon Do 2000 Maximas have a replaceable fuel filter?

You need to remove the back seat and remove it, along with the sender unit, from the gas tank. I personally don't believe the benefits of replacing it outweigh the risks. The filter is in the tank and is part of the pump assembly. To change the filter you have to take the pump out and replace it. The manual says it is a lifetime filter. But, I ain't buying it... > Do 2000 Maximas have a replaceable fuel filter?

If so, I'd suggest ruling out everything else before opening up the tank. Are you, by chance, hitting the rev limiter? > Do 2000 Maximas have a replaceable fuel filter?

The hesitation you are describing sounds like the variable valve timing kicking in or the plenum opening up. It should not be a problem. Try cleaning the intake to isolate the problem > i have a 2000 Maxima SE 5-spd and when i accelerate near or at full > throttle especially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, once in awhile it feels [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > someone out there help?!?!?!!? thanks > Jon |
