    '90 Maxima rough idle and driving problems

    My car just started have rough idle and driving problems (continues to have
    miss under accelaration) this past week end. The car has 140,000 miles and
    I just had the timing belt replaced 6,000 miles ago. I just replaced the
    dist. cap and roter along with new plugs and ing. wires to try and fix
    the problem. The idle improved a little but is a long way from fixing the
    problem. I just put a new fuel filter in today JIC( not expecting to fix
    problem it just needed to be done). I'm not getting a check engine lite so
    I'm kind of lost on what to do next. I've thought about changing the ing.
    coil but I hate to throw money at something it does not need.

    Thanks,
    JT

    Check if the EGR is working or stuck. Also look for loose or cracked or
    fallen off vacuum hoses.

    Might be time to let someone else look at it?
     

    That would be throwing away your money.

    Try replacing the pressurized gas cap. Get the correct one - mine said
    "pre-vented." Made my 92 SE stop all that rough running immediately. See my
    post from today 9/6/2004 at 12:03 AM. called "Mystery Solved."

    The cap cost me $5.99 or so. Easy to try this - it made my Max purr again.
