#700231October 31, 1998
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FUEL INJECTORS HAVE NOT BEEN FIRING WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGE AS ASSESSED BY MY MECHANIC AS WELL AS AN AUTHORIZED NISSSANDEALER/ MECHANIC. THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND SHIMMIES WHILE THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AT A STOP. SOMETIMES THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, RECENTLY THE EMISSIONS WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS COME ON AND CANNOT BE RESET. I AM HESITANT TO PAY FOR REPAIR WORK BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE (AND I'VE BEEN TOLD REPLACING THE BAD INJECTORS ONLY MAY HASTEN THE OTHERS GOING BAD). FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE THAT HAS HAD REGULAR TUNE-UPS AND MAINTENANCE WORK THIS PROBLEM IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A 1990 MAXIMA AND HAS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND MY MECHANIC SEES THIS PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
