2000 Nissan Maxima review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dreaded SES light came on.
General comments?
Beautiful powerfull car, with one problem. The SES light.
My solution. I took my gas cap off and drove the car around a couple of blocks. Car ran like the true gem that it is. I had run into all the problems and so called dealer solutions as everyone on this board. I decided not to listen to anyone. I deduced that my car was being fuel starved, so I took my gas cap off and went for a drive. Within a matter of a few blocks the car was running like the little race car that it had been before my problems happened. Your SES light might still stay on, If it does have a mechanic with a reader clear your codes, that will take the light off. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY CABLE. If you disconnect the battery cable the codes will still be held in the cars computer. Good luck, and I would hope that youi would post your findings here, so that those on this board might be able to learn from you or help anyone with a Maxima. I will be checking in here a lot.
