their estimate was $550 to fix it, so I said screw it and did it myself. took about 14 hours to do, but only cost me $9 in gaskets to fix the problem. car runs perfectly now. : I can hear that a lot of air is going into the air filter box. Is this normal? : My muffler is lightly sputtering, does this mean my muffler in now bad? Can a bad muffler cause rpm surge? : Thanks, : Jerry
After spending years hearing everyone whine about the problem, and try everything to fix it, I think it MIGHT be a leaking intake manifold gasket..
that turned out to be the problem on my wife's 97 Altima which I just fixed yesterday. it had the exact same symptoms as my old GXE maxima did.. I replaced everything on the ignition twice trying to fix it and never figured it out. finally broke down and paid Nissan to do a disgnostic on it. vacuum leak and cyl #4 was missing (even the ECU said so).. check engine light was on..
