Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / March 200494 nissan maxima question
Have a 94 maxima gxe 170 v6 3.0 Had the car parked for about one month. Got it started fine....I find that the car doesn't kick in when I floor the gas pedal. I mean it car will speed up no problem......like it will go 140kms/hour in no time....but it doesn't kick in if you know what I mean. My 1990 kicked in big time......and even if I was going 100km/hr and trampled it it would kick in. Is this normal? what problem? thanks by kick in you mean downshift. Best bet would be to do a tuneup, plugs & wires, pcv valve, cap & rotor and change the tranny fluid. Also clean out the throttle body and make sure the lines that pull the butterfly open are tight and dont' bind. > Have a 94 maxima gxe > 170 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Is this normal? what problem? > thanks > by kick in you mean downshift.

I would think that simply giving the tranny a tune up would suffice, by changing the tranny fluid and tranny filter. CD what filter? there isn't an easily changeable on the max  Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Please sure to visit Our websites www.classiccarsprings.com for classic car parts www.internetautomart.com for non- classic car parts Or check out our ebay auctions user id INTERNETAUTOMART > > > by kick in you mean downshift.

I would think that a Maxima is no exception. CD you are correct that MOST a/ts have a filter but not all are easily changed.

Many newer models have screens rather than the paper filters older american cars used and (especially FWD imports) these screens can't be changed without taking the tranny apart.

Not sure about '94. The easiest way to find out for sure (short of buying a service manual) is to call a dealer and see if they list a filter for it. > by kick in you mean downshift.

Sounds more like the kickdown switch isn't working, not sure if a 94 has electric kickdown or if the tranny is computer controlled on that model. Thinking changing the fluid would fix this is wishful thinking.. SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com Funny to read this. I think it is just the car. I had a 1990 GXE and sold it for a 1993 GXE. Both of the cars were purchased form the same 70 year old individual. In overall performance, the 1990 was quicker and I believe faster. It was a 4DSC. With the 1993 (same initial miles) maybe Nissan was trying to refine? I know the 160HP SOHC in both was the same VG30. Dunno, my $0.02. -Jay I had the same problem I bought new spark plugs with cables and gasket.. The problem was that my gasket was broken and was wetting the spark plugs..Check that out if that isn't the case i would get the transmission checked |
