i just had my o2 sensor and o2 knock sensor changed yesterday. they deleted the codes. i was on the highway last night, middle of the night, with no one on the road. i see what the car can do (96 max gxe 5sp). i hit around 118-120, and the revs dumped down to 700 and i thought the car shut off. i restarted,(doin about 100 at about this time). the car was fine until i pulled onto my street bout 15 min later. the check engine light came on. y? does the maxima have a regulator at 120mph? if so, would it cause the check engine light to come on? the car felt like it stalled. i have no clue wtf is goin on. im gonna take it in today and see what that code is about. any ideas?
iirc, you shouldn't have a limiter if you are SE or GLE. Some gxe's have 'em. you might be one of those unlucky ones. Pull some codes and see what it says. Chances are your car didn't like that sudden cut off from the gov'na and threw some crazy codes. My bet, you reset your ecu and you should be fine. If they come on again, then you probably have a problem.

Diagnostic Trouble Code 0705 points to a problem with the Evaporative Emission Control System.
This malfunction is detected when the EVAP control system has a leak or the EVAP control system does not operate properly. (EVAP = EVAPorative emissions.)
Possible causes include...
- incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve
- incorrect fuel filler cap
- fuel filler cap vent remains open or fails to close
- foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- a leak in the line between the intake manifold and the
EVAP Canister Vacuum Control Valve
- foreign matter caught in the EVAP CVCV
- leaks in the EVAP canister or fuel tank
- leaks in the EVAP purge line (pipe and rubber tube)
- EVAP purge line rubber tube bent
- blocked or bent rubber tube to EVAP control system pressure sensor
- loose or disconnected rubber tube
- EVAP CVCV and circuit
- EVAP Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve and circuit
- absolute pressure sensor
- tank fuel temperature sensor
- MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve and circuit
- blocked or bent rubber tube to MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve
- O-ring of EVAP CVCV is missing or damaged
- water separator
- EVAP canister saturated with water
- EVAP control system pressure sensor
- refueling EVAP vapor cut valve
- ORVR system leaks
This is a "jackpot" DTC. It points to so many things you don't know what to check. It is often combined with another DTC which is more specific and therefore more helpful.
P0446 (aka 0903) - Vent Control Valve
Quote:
0903
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0903 indicates a problem with the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Vent Control Valve or its associated electric circuit.
This part is used by the Engine Control Module to perform the fuel system leak test. Since it is used only for self-diagnosis your engine will run perfectly well despite the dashboard Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
The EVAP canister and this valve are located under the car, near the rear left tire. You might check to make sure all the electrical connectors in that area are secure.
There's no telling how expensive the repair will be, because no definite diagnosis has been made. Maybe you just have to re-plug a loose connector. Since the EVAP system is part of the emissions control system you might have warranty coverage.
The majority of my information about Diagnostic Trouble Codes comes from my '99 Maxima factory service manual. Unfortunately, DTC 1005 is not in that book. Starting in '99 the Maxima engine uses a step-motor type of EGR valve and with that change, the DTCs changed.
The Chilton and Haynes manuals provide a little information about the EGR Solenoid Valve.
The test procedure for this part is found in the Chilton repair manual (page 4-11) and the Haynes repair manual (page 6-20). Test the valve and replace if necessary.
This malfunction is not an emergency but should be resolved fairly soon (7-10 days). An inoperative EGR valve may result in engine pinging and a variety of driveability complaints.
I hope that helps you out...

yea, i was looking at those on maxima.org. it is a crapload of things to look at, i dont know where to start. guess just got to run down the list. stupid list.
Figured out anything good to fix it. My 96 maxima has been over 120mph and there hasn't been any troubles. I have changed out all of my O2 sensors.... but i agree with the other post... the studden change... probably didn't like that too much
