my 96 maxima with weird tachometer

[Interst890]

retry with the tank not so full...

[superfly1842]

magnets for the crank shaft sensor may have gone bad.

[AzianPersuasion444]

i have a problem with my tac to but instead of staying down it goes along with the needle on the speedometer so if im cruising at 70 its at 7 and wont go down

[MitchTimmons]

must get good mpg stays under 2 rpms

[Maxillius]

Looks like the sensor is only picking up one cylinder instead of all 6. weird.

[adrianchic13]

speed sensor in the trans

[1paulll]

Hey, Did you ever fix this? My tach is doing the same thing, that, or zooming up to like 5 when I'm not doing anything... Did you find out what the problem was?

[LambdaChiTowson]

@1paulll No my car was totaled before I got to fixing that problem. Try replacing your tachometer like somebody else below me said.

[paintballgundown8]

must be a g-force meter thats a little too sensitive

[mileskp44]

jtyler's a fuckin idiot lol

[Blucaliboi88]

must get some good gas millage staying under 2 :look:

[Recarta]

You need to replace the tach. Go to a u-pull-it junkyard and yank a cluster. I got one for 15 bucks. It is the only solution that I know of.

1. First follow this video "Remove/replace gauge cluster, 4th gen Maxima" - by boredmder

2. Remove the black casing around the front of the cluster (the clear shield should come with it).

3. Remove the two screws behind the tach (it will just fall out now).

4. Installation is the reverse.

[Recarta]

@Recarta This not for the OP. Its for the viewers looking for answers.

[1paulll]

Mine has the same problem! did you ever fix it?

if so, how???

[rockingdrifter17]

my max had the same problem. the tac would follow up until about 2800rpm, and then start to drop. i just ended up going to the junk yard and found a max with a working dash with close to the same amount of miles, and swapped them.

[afr126]

@rockingdrifter17 "same amount of miles" isn't it illegal to fake ur miles?

[rockingdrifter17]

@afr126 it is, but we are talking about a 300 mile difference... it would be one thing if it were over 10K... most likely, i won't sell my car, but if i do, i will list it with the REAL mileage

[afr126]

@rockingdrifter17 O so u say..... :D

[halflifemasta]

he has a cummins swap or something lol

[inurik]

@halflifemasta

Haha no actually it's a W16 swap from veyron. I was barely touching the pedal. You probably have seen how the owner drove the donor car-Veyron into a lake. It was a bit of work to get that engine running again, but it was definitely worth it.

[JTyler52]

@inurik dude , shut the fuck up.... you didnt swap a w16 in your maxima, your car would not hold an engine like that, and you do not have the money for that size of an engine, so shut the fuck up

[inurik]

@JTyler52

Seriously? What are you, like 8 years old or something? Is your brain full of shit not to notice my sarcasm in my comment? Gee, get a life you fucking noob

[doreilly15]

@inurik you obviously just got trolled jackass

[mafiya69]

@inurik Haha! This is hella funny. Lol.

[cammymcghee]

@JTyler52 haha i laugh at how guilible u are

[MurdaINCBaller]

@JTyler52 dude your a dumbfuckheaded lil 8 yoear old if you thoguht he was being serious. and btw maximas could hold that size engine with a little modification. go learn your shit you clusterfuck

[racerxgt1]

@JTyler52 LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! YOu are sooooo serious man

[SakoTGrimes]

@JTyler52 It's pretty fucking obvious that he was joking, dickshit.

[MoldyLunchBox87]

@JTyler52 Its ok he just found out his honda blew a valve, no biggy

[skyfaze]

@JTyler52 yea ur right the unurik is a faggot

[DJisaBaker667]

@JTyler52 haha, he thought you were being serious. What a dumbass!

[undercoverdude87]

maybe its broken

[chris000089]

wow, you barely stepped on the gas

[balloonboyaz2]

why was the air bag light flashing

[inurik]

@balloonboyaz2

It's flashing because it needs to be checked out. I believe it needs periodical service after ten years

[teklondo]

@inurik

yup, thats all it is...Don't worry about it too much tho, I've had mine flashing all the time,n when i crashed airbags saved our lives lol

[inurik]

@teklondo

Oh no my maxima got L-boned but it saved my life. Some lady was in a hurry and run the red light, and she hit me right near front left wheel. My car spun like 270 degrees and ended up far away from where i started. But it was all good, I made out without a scratch. I have an older 5 series bmw now, and you can see it in my other videos.

[schroncey1]

yeah it the electronic sensor on the back of the tranny.. my 96 does it to.. swap that and it will take care of that problem... its located right under the master cilinder

[1paulll]

@schroncey1

My 96 has the sameeee problem..

but do you know how much the sensor is?

and could a reallly slow person install it?

[jclowes123]

possibly an ignition coil is about to go out on your car. i had the same thing happen to me about 6 months ago. New coil fixed it.

[mannan7230]

its a manual car

[NismoBdon]

wierd meaning not working.

[nissanbuck00]

the tachometer spring inside has unwound pull the entire cluster out then take out the tachometer and spin it counter clock wise many times until u can leave it sitting (0) then move it a higher rpm and let go and it will bo back to (0) by itself.

[Briballdo]

my maxima does this as well. it just continues to randomly climb until its to the max. haha

[apexak]

It needs viagra.

[filiphilopeno]

hahaha.

[DaCoolestPersn]

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o

[allzaa]

play ground ahead look up

[localdu]

thats because its broken!

[herenowgandalf]

My 1995 Maxima (127K miles) has done the same thing for about a year. I asked the parts people at the dealer and they said they never heard of it. My knock sensor has been broken for at least 30K miles, not sure if it's related.

[dankhax]

@herenowgandalf: knock sensor is not related to your issue

[allencrider]

@dankhax - thanks, glad to know this.

[1paulll]

@herenowgandalf I have a 96 Maxima GLE with 122K..

Exact same thing!!!

RPM gauge broken and the knock sensor is bad...

did you ever fix either? and how?

[herenowgandalf]

@1paulll - never have fixed either and now the car has 136K. Hope to get to it one of these days, the bad knock sensor could impair fuel economy. We've been running the car with hi-octane petrol since the manual calls for it and sure don't want to have to mess with those 24 valves.

[chapmanmerchant]

sorry loxety . Your MAF has nothing to with any of the guages. you might have been answering to a diff vid. Fail try again

[loxety]

replace MAF

[1MEANRT]

it cuz its a POS maxima

[PivotMurdaBaller]

Too bad its a fwd. fwd cars are terribble altogh the maxima rocks!

[pspgamer87]

mine is doing the same thing I got 200k still runnin strong

[relic23cooper]

hah! my airbag light goes one too! its 95

[jakinthebox1]

'96 MAXIMA !!! all hail the nissan. lol first car....cant wait.

[igor9212]

That arrow was up so many times that it lost interest in going fast

[atvman1000]

lmao that was good

[BlueRice]

thats hella gas saving right there. the rpm barely move.

[fried153]

mines at 234thousand and does that sometimes, still runs like its new, rediculous, its a 95

[mercman8888]

That is weird.

[nascrchi]

lol nice redline!! hahaha

[sr5813]

Yeah, sure your dick is sick, maybe you have herpes LOL

[sr5813]

Fucking Ass, did you know the meaning of SARCASM??

[sr5813]

now you got a CVT

[yowatscrackin]

250 im drunk gimme a break maximas r still sick i got a 98 with 90k still running strong

[Eregon2]

Maxima do rule ive got a 95 max with over 200k miles still able to chirp tires. Of course its an automatic so it kinda sucks but ill change that soon

[ferrariz24]

I will do a vq35 swap first and then see if i have money to a auto to 5spd swap, the tranny just costs so much.

[Chase16016]

mine has 122k and still running like a champ.

long live maxima!

[downtownybrown43]

mines just rounding 355k and runs perfect, an i still can walk all over civics.lol

[downtownybrown43]

mine is just rounding 355k and still runs perfect. i also still walk all over civics.lol

[ferrariz24]

haha old vtec would have needed 5 timing belts with that many miles.

[yowatscrackin]

haha wow 500 rpm's lol

[yowatscrackin]

the car is idlin at 2500 u no its fucked up right away who cares maximas ruleeeeeeeee

[inurik]

no the tachometer was fucked but it didn't matter cause it was automagic transmission. Anyway I don't have my maxima anymore cause some lady ran the red light and totaled my baby. Now I have a E34 bmw check out my other videos

[FirebirdBuco]

damn try not to redline that shit lol

[rbb302]

wowow lmaoo dumbass better get that checked out! Although if it isn't burning out your engine wtfff lol

[inurik]

I don't have the car anymore. However it's just a tachometer, with an auto it doesn't matter anyway.

[he1niken]

@rbb302 you're the dumbass, there's nothing wrong with the car engine-wise, it's his gauages that are buggin out. do you not hear his car revving normally?

what's with all the retards..

[MarioLoco03]

fuck it! you got a full tank of gas at least

[jewishraggae]

LOL

[Hazafan88]

U had better get that checked out! Although if it isn't burning out your engine, I'd like to know how you do it. I have a 1997 Maxima.

[interpoltotbl]

the engine isnt actully going that slow

[Hazafan88]

So then whats so weird?

[smartkid1985]

good one!!!

[heinrichranches123]

IS YOUR ENGINE OFF! LOL!

[94EglVisionTSI]

im sure its maybe wiring or like a sending unit?

[smartkid1985]

my air bag light blinks too. did you get into an accident?

[Wnderwall]

I bet with those low RPMS you never run our of gas

[ilike2skate28]

LOL!

[gumbytat]

try going to a junkyard or the dealership and replace that tach i would guess that the pick up lead is faulty

[newyorkzplayas]

at first i thought it was your maf. but it seems to be accelerating normally

[midgetmayo]

nice tach man you'll never redline anymore lol

[youreanoobguitarst24]

haha

[115charles]

dang imagine if you got to 8 thousand, lol kidding!!

[natedog2008]

1 secound i think not the se model is about 4 sec faster than manual i seen two race and th eauto lost horibly its cuz no shifting = no rev limit you only do what the car decides gay never buy an automatic again.

[alk3669]

what?

[dannyc9997]

lol you got alotta power left hhhaaha

[napalm84]

dude, 5 spd maxima is way faster. Mine is about the same year and i did like 40 mph or so on first gear fast.

[inurik]

yes I know 5pd is faster than auto slushbox its like 1 second difference from 0-60 between auto and 5spd max

[SCTV]

lol

[hopkins242]

whats wrong with the rpm gauge dude?

[inurik]

I think the tach is gone wrong or its rubbing against something

[velocity211]

that would be a dream come true if the reading was real.

[03max]

looks like the teeth are chipped or the pointer motor is bad.
