My wifes 99 Maxima has always ran great up untill few days ago. Started
skipping, and uneven ideling when stopped. Couple days ago, was getting gas,
when finished, car would not crank at all. Turns over good, but won't fire.
Was late, so had it towed to home. What can I look for, or expect from
repair bill. Does this sound coil related, if so, expensive fix? Not much to
go on but any info appreciated

Posted about maxima not cranking about 3 weeks ago, due to sickness just
parked it. Finally got into shop this week, got call saying the computer has
gone bad. Nissan dealership wants $1,000 and cannot find one anywhere in
this region (NC) Was wondering if any one on here can post some sites I
could possibly check out. Shop says can send off to be rebuilt for $600, if
had one locally would be around $250. Know I'm not going to get out cheap,
but would like to check out my options. Computer has to match my VIN, and
evidently not many around, matches that is. Thanks for any info.

Hey dumbass, what does a broken computer have to do with 87 octane?
Is destroying the computer another thing you think 87 does?

Of course knowing what a tool you are, you likely replied to the
wrong message.

Pull your head out of your arse before posting next time.
