#3817 of 4048 1999 Nissan Maxima O2 sensor and EGR valve by og4life Mar 07, 2008 (12:04 pm)
I have a 99 Maxima with $205K miles on it. My service engine light has been on for as long as I can remember. I had Autozone check it and the machine pulled codes P0400(Blocked or failed EGR valve) and P0138 (O2 sensor defective). I also had it checked by my mechanic a couple weeks later and he said no code was present and cleared it for me. Of course, a day later the light is back on. My questions are:   Would autozone have a better reader and that's why codes were present?   Can a mechanic tell if the O2 sensor and EGR valve is defective before replacing it?   My car is running relatively good for the mileage and i would hate to spend $350 to $700 replacing these parts if its not going to make a difference.

Replying to: og4life (Mar 07, 2008 12:04 pm) Is your car eating gas? Stalling or running a bit rough? Do you get a rotten egg smell from under the car? Replies to this message: og4life (Mar 07, 2008 8:21 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Mar 08, 2008 9:16 am) og4life (Mar 08, 2008 10:42 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 07, 2008 4:49 pm) The last four times I've filled up I gotten between 23 - 26.5 miles a gallon, which is about average. The only thing I notice is when I decelerate and than hit the gas to pick up speed, the switching of gears is not that smooth.

Replying to: og4life (Mar 07, 2008 8:21 pm) The EGR valve can be tested with a simple vacuum tool; the 02 is harder to diagnose, but a good mechanic can do it with a sophisticated voltmeter (not a cheapie) and with the car running. He can also put a machine on to sniff the tailpipe to see if you are running richer than normal and therefore possibly damaging the catalytic. Replies to this message: og4life (Mar 08, 2008 10:42 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 08, 2008 9:16 am) Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it. I went to AutoZone today and now the only code is the EGR valve. I guess the O2 sensor got better - lol.
#3822 of 4048 2000 Nissan Maxima ignition coils and plugs by toytruck2 Mar 14, 2008 (1:44 pm)
My car needs coils and spark plugs at 90000 miles. Where can I buy genuine Nissan parts online and get the ones with the new part number at a low price?
#3823 of 4048 Car Pulls to the Right by og4life Mar 15, 2008 (2:07 pm)
I have a 99 maxima SE and my car has been pulling to the right for some time. I just got a realignment (3rd one in less than two years) and the problem is not solved. Does anyone have any advice? I just bought new tires and the air pressure is right. Would bad struts cause the car to pull? My mechanic said they should be replaced soon.
#3824 of 4048 Rear Brake ERT by fg54 Mar 15, 2008 (4:25 pm)
Would anyone know what the ERT is to replace rear brake pads and rotors for a Maxima? Replies to this message: alexstore (Mar 16, 2008 3:35 am) fg54 (Mar 16, 2008 7:40 am) Mr_Shiftright (Mar 19, 2008 8:34 am)

Replying to: fg54 (Mar 15, 2008 4:25 pm) they should last you 40k+. Though it all depends on type of driving you have and the environment. Replies to this message: fg54 (Mar 16, 2008 7:40 am)
