#10 of 4048 maxima engine noise at start-up by joenissan Jan 13, 2001 (8:38 pm)
Change to a Purolator oil filter...the noise will go away. The noise you hear is oil starvation at start-up because the flow-back valves on NISSAN oil filters, FRAM and a few others are garbage. Change to Purolator, WIX, or MOBIL oil filter.     Joe

Hi, I just bought a Nissan maxima 95. I had a 94 before. The 95 makes a loud engine noise when i press on gas.Its is not too loud but it is a lot louder than the 94 i owned before. I was just wondering if its the new engine type or if there is a problem with my car. Thanks

Thanks for your help regarding the sprockets. What you described as far as the oil pressure is what another mechanic had told me some time ago...he is the one who told me to take it to the dealer in the first place. When the service manager lifted the hood and listened to the noise he said, "oh yeah, sounds like your sprockets..we've had alot of trouble with those." I called the first mechanic back and he said that could be true. My point being is that I agree with what you are saying and what another post said as far as the filter, mainly because the noise is still there. Do I have a case with the dealer if they say they fixed "a" problem, but I don't think they fixed "the" problem? It sounds like, by what you all are saying, there isn't much to do for this problem other than changing the filter or oil. True? Any thoughts on how to approach this with the dealer? Thanks.
#13 of 4048 Maxima Electrical Fire by gioia1 Jan 14, 2001 (6:59 pm)
I have a 96 maxima-96k miles. A electrical short caused a fire in my trunk (next to gas tank). Service said they've never seen anything like it, and they don't know what could have caused it. Anybody have any ideas or has anyone had a similar problem?
#14 of 4048 cold start up noise by edwardh5 Jan 15, 2001 (10:36 am)
I fixed it by not using the Nissan filter. I use Pure One.Better anti backflow valve. No more clatter on cold start up.
#15 of 4048 Slow start by djames1 Jan 16, 2001 (6:01 am)
I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima. Have had a intermittent problem over the years. It takes a least three tries to get the car started.( seems to only be in cold weather) They have changed the starter, battery, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel resistor and rear computer and I still have the same problem. In one months time frame I had my car for about 3 days!!! Has anyone had the same problem? I posted in the wrong area more details under 1995 Nissan Max hard start problems.

Has the coolant temperature sensor been checked? The engine controller needs to know the engine temp to provide additional fuel for cold startup
#17 of 4048 slow start follow up by qx4 Jan 16, 2001 (3:51 pm)
i have the exact same problem as djames1 since the car had about 70,000kms the problem started. they replaced the starter 2 or 3 times under warranty. and it never fixed anything. and they never seemed to understand that.   unfortunatly i have been busy for a while....the car has 175,000kms on it and the problem is still there. my extended warranty is over.   when you i turn the key i don't get ANY response try again ... same......keep holding it and the car starts but the rpm drops and engine shuts off if i don't force the engine to be over 3000rpms.

Thank you for your responses...I don't think the coolant temperature sensor has been checked? They are getting a fuel specialist from Nissan to look at my car sometime next week. Yes I can relate they just don't seem to understand..Will keep you posted and I will look for more responses until then.........
