maxima acceleration question
i have a 2000 Maxima SE 5-spd and when i accelerate near or at full
throttle especially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, once in awhile it feels
as if the power cuts out for a 1/2 second than goes again several
times, i dont know if it is torque steer or if the car is actually
loosing some power.... i bought it used and i am afraid that it could
be a problem....and also doesn't feel as fast as i thought it would
be...maybe it's just me?? could i install a k&n intake in it? will it
make it a little faster? what about the oxygen sensor cables? can
someone out there help?!?!?!!? thanks
Jon

Re: maxima acceleration question
Clogged fuel filter, perhaps? Or the fuel pump is dying?

Re: maxima acceleration question
Do 2000 Maximas have a replaceable fuel filter? If so, where is it?

It's not a standard maintenance item. You need to remove the
back seat and remove it, along with the sender unit, from the
gas tank. I personally don't believe the benefits of replacing
it outweigh the risks.

Re: maxima acceleration question
The filter is in the tank and is part of the pump assembly. To change
the filter you have to take the pump out and replace it. The manual
says it is a lifetime filter. But, I ain't buying it...

Re: maxima acceleration question
When you say "...replace it" are you refering to the pump (with filter) or
just the filter?

Re: maxima acceleration question
Well, it does look like the filter is in the tank (unlike my '97). If so,
I'd suggest ruling out everything else before opening up the tank.
Are you, by chance, hitting the rev limiter?

Re: maxima acceleration question
The filter can be replaced seperate from the pump. But, you still have
to take the pump out.

Re: maxima acceleration question
Sure I have a K&N on my car and it is great. The hesitation you are
describing sounds like the variable valve timing kicking in or the
plenum opening up. It should not be a problem. Try cleaning the intake
to isolate the problem
