1997 Nissan Maxima V6 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 110,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi I installed headers and a y pipe and also a after market cold air intake system i had the air intake system for a while now but the headers i just installed. When i try and turn on the car it takes a couple of key turns to get it started than it runs normal on cold start. After installing the header and y pipe i took the air intake off to clean it and then put it back in. But i forgot to turn on the MAF sensor then i turned the car on and it ran weak and died. could this be why i have the starting problem. Also i left the back header stock because of difficulty installing. Could this also be why it has the starting problem? Thankyou

disconnect the battery for about an hour so the computer completely resets. then reconnect and make sure everything is installed properly and turned on. then start the vehicle and let the computer go through its relearn stage. if this does not help you should replace the rear header, you should not have a stock header and a modified header not too good for the engine. especially if the stock is a 4 into one and you installed a 4 into 2 into one.
