Thanks for your reply YEEHA !

Maintain engine OIL? Of course.... every 2 o 3 months alll kinda oil. break, transmission, engine etc. etc.

My radiator got fu*ked up couple of days ago. Changed that, also new coolants.

Don't know anything about the pressure.... don't know what's the condition. How do I check that?

There's nothing u can do abt the oil pressure.... if it's dropping... that means engine is dying?

What abt the chaffed wire in the ignition how do I check dat?


Thanks again for the reply man !

Zubero,
Again, I'm a computer guy not a mechanic. I'm just following standard troubleshooting logic.

No, dropping oil pressure doesn't mean your engine is shot. Just that it is a serious problem that you should fix immediately.

Logic says that if you hit a bump and the car stalls there is something loose like a wire. Your car shouldn't stall when hitting a bump. I haven't a clue where to start looking but if your mechanic can't find the source of your problems bring it right to Nissan and have them look at it. It may be more expensive but it's cheaper than putting a new engine in because the mechanic your going to can't find it.

Thats not to say he isn't a good mechanic, he may not know the ins and outs of a nissan like a Nissan mechanic would.

Yeeha ! and all the ppl who are reading,

I have replaced the Gas cap as prescribed; nope didn't do the trick !
After all these got frustrated, finally I took it to the Nissan Dealership they check and said it's the DISTRIBUTOR. WOW?

Is that really possible... for such a problem I really don't think so. Spoke to some mechanic around they also have the same feeling, Can't be the distributor !!!

Today, I went to this Ignition specialist, He found out that the Computer in my car is faulty. NOW, the problem is can't find one around the local auto-parts stores. Looked around everywhere......

PPL please throw in your opinion. I'd really appreciate that !

AND if anyone knows any online source where I can look for the Computer of a 1990 Nissan MAXIMA. Please put in the website here !

Thanks

I don't know how much money you have to spend but you can go to www.cattman.com and get a ECU upgrade computer for $565 which will give you much better performance.

As for the distrubuter... I took my 92 SE in to the dealer for a recall and they tried to tell me that my transmission fluid needed replacing, my radiator needed flushing, and my timing chains were bad. I just had the fluids flushed and changed 2 months prior to their diagnosis and the chain was fine. Dealers just want to get you to spend money.

If the wire to the alternator has a short in it that could be your problem. I had a lumina that did basically the same thing that your maxima is doing and the replacing of the wire to the alternator did the trick ( of course that was after getting the starter, battery, and alternator replaced and being stranded in the middle of Pa. on a sunday but that is besides the point.

Good luck dude.
