Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / September 200597 Maxima 3000
Guy driving car for months with 5 working wires. He brought new aftermarket (cheap 7mm) wires for my boyfriend to change them for him. Now car will not start. Replaced rotor, distributor cap, and even put old wires back on, with one of the new ones for the number 1 plug that did not have. What damage could have been done by him driving for so long on 5 wires (and the coil of course); and why wouldn't it start now? Thank You!!

A '97 Maxima does not have any of those parts. There is a separate coil on top of each spark plug. There is no distributor cap or rotor and no conventional spark plug wires. You might want to do a little more research and find out what parts were actually changed. > Guy driving car for months with 5 working wires.

This doesn't make sense. On the 97 Maxima, which has the Nissan direct ignition system, you should NEVER have to replace the wires. In fact, they are permanently wired in and not easily replaceable. Not only that, but the car also does not have a distributor or rotor . . .at all. The only thing you replace is the spark plugs and maybe the the plug boot/coil.
