#3850 of 4048 Re: '02 Maxima P0138 Error Code [Mr_Shiftright] by challatt7 Apr 23, 2008 (3:14 pm)
Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 09, 2008 9:06 am) thank you for putting this up as i am having the same problem with my one of my o2 sensors. i understand that in order to fix the problem i need to replace both of the o2 sensors followed by an ECM reprogram. my question is, if i wanted to save myself the labor costs of replacing the o2 sensors would it be harmful to my motor/what would be the effect of replacing the sensors at home then to drive a few miles to the dealer to have the ECM reprogram done. also cant any shop do a reprogram or is that something only a dealership can do? thank you for your time MR SHIFTRIGHT Replies to this message: bode3 (Apr 24, 2008 3:26 am) challatt7 (Apr 24, 2008 10:05 pm)

Replying to: challatt7 (Apr 23, 2008 3:14 pm) just keep this in mind. I have now replaced the o2 sensor three times. Once with a local shop and twice with the dealer. Every winter it has difficulty starting and the check engine light comes on. I had enough of replacing these sensors and have driven the car for five years now. The dealer also replace the wiring harness thinking it might be a worn wire.... no, $1500 later I have the same problem but it does not impact the drivability.

Replying to: obyone (Apr 18, 2008 10:00 am) thanks. I actually took the car out and really pushed it uphill. It made a big difference. I think short drives were creating a build up of carbon. 13 years old and still a nice ride.

Replying to: bode3 (Apr 24, 2008 3:26 am) thanks for the input, but it didn't really answer my question. can i drive the car a short distance after replacing the o2 sensor but before the reprogram, just to get it to the dealer?
#3854 of 4048 03 maxima check engine light by mopardude360 Apr 26, 2008 (3:15 pm)
Alright, I just changed the spark plugs and did a throttle body cleaning on an 03 maxima and after I put it back together the check engine light is on. Do nissans have that battery disconnection issue, I dont know. If some one could please help.

Replying to: mopardude360 (Apr 26, 2008 3:15 pm) How did you clean the throttle body? Using throttle body cleaner, deep creep? Something that could affect the O2 sensors?   Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. If the problem reoccurs could be something occured during the cleaning process that's throwing off the O2 sensors.

#3856 of 4048 My Car Won't Start!! by kanej316 May 02, 2008 (12:23 pm)
I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima that won't start. When I put the key in the ignition and turn it all the lights come on and the stereo comes on, but when I turn the key further to start the car nothing happens. It doesn't even make any kind if noise or clicking or anything. I'm a single mom who knows nothing about cars, and I'm having to do this on my own for the first time, so any suggestions on what the possible problems could be would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you. Replies to this message: obyone (May 02, 2008 1:23 pm) acriss3 (Jun 29, 2008 1:22 pm) jorghi (Oct 04, 2008 4:03 pm)

Replying to: kanej316 (May 02, 2008 12:23 pm) Sounds like your starter died.
#3858 of 4048 1996 Nissan Maxima Fuse Box by kanej316 May 02, 2008 (1:56 pm)
On the lower dash of my car underneath the lever to pop my hood there are fuses. There has been no cover on them since the day I got the car, and I am now having someone look at my car and they have requested that I find something on-line that describes what the fuses are. Again, I know nothing about cars so my apologies if I am making no sense. Anyone know how I can find information like this? I have been driving myself crazy trying to find it on-line!! Thank you for all your help! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (May 02, 2008 6:38 pm)
