Hello all,
I have a friend with a 2005 maxima se 3.5 that I am trying to diagnose/repair the issue. So far the car has been to 3 mechanics and 1 stealership, It has had a computer(dealership), spark plugs (Mech 1), 3 coils (me), cats (Mech1), O2 sensors (Mech 2+3), battery + cables (dealer), cam sensor (Mech3), and MAF sensor (me) thrown at it. I don't know what the prior symptoms where like but upon me getting the car it was running rough and cant get out of its own way, by replacing the bad coils and the MAF I was able to get it to idle smoothly but the problem only slightly improved. After putting my scanner on it and looking at the data outputs the fuel system goes from closed to open when I raise the RPM's above 2k. My theory is that its a fuel pump, but was curious as to where I plug in a fuel pressure tester?
Other information: with the car in drive if I give it gas it sounds like its starving for fuel, I can hear the intake(factory) pulling a lot of air, the car will not go above 40mph (after MAF replacement). with the car in park the motor will not rev beyond 2500rpm with the same intake sounds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I very rarely, if ever, mess with anything outside of Italian or German cars so I'm hoping I am at least in the right direction with my diagnosis.
