i bought a 2000 nissan maxima with very low mileage. i drove it for about 2 weeks and it started with the engine light coming on. took to shop they said it was bad coil so changed all of them and the plugs. didn't help so i changed the ignition condenser still no help. came up with a bad O2 rear sensor changed that too. still comes on then i read on some nissan forums that if you use premium gas will help no still didn't help still have light on with the code of p1320 all the time and misfire. so the info says it can be the crankshaft postion sensor so i'll change that shortly when i find out which one it takes as it can take two different ones. if that doesn't help i'm selling it and it's a shame its a real nice car. i like it if it wouldn't have that damn light on all the time.any one out there have any suggestions on what to do next to help out this situation? i'm all ears on it if it will help.
Update from Jan 9, 2017: i found out how to fix the problem with engine light. a guy told me how he did it on his jeep when they were having issues in 2007. it's the MAF sensor screws that don't tighten down all the way causing a air leak. the screws are a T20 tp screw 6x22 size and they are one round to long so they don't bottom out and seal the sensor tight in the canister. so by taking them out and grinding one round thread off very carefully you solve the problem. i did and no more light. it runs fine and everything is back to normal. if not that then there is a vacuum leak somewhere in the hoses. so ck that all out. it's not the coils etc. that will throw a number of codes and you'll be pulling your hair out trying to fix it.
