How do you adjust the clutch pedal on a 1996 Nissan maxima?

If you are referring to adjusting the height of the pedal, I might be able to help you get started. If you can squeeze under your dash to where your pedal is, there is a stopper bar behind the pedal that can be adjusted by first loosening the washer that holds it in place and then turning the bolt until you get the pedal where you wish it to be. This is what i did for my 95 maxima, and I assume it is the same. If you are referring to adjusting the height of the pedal, I might be able to help you get started.

What are the symptoms of a bad Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor?

The car idles very high for about 8 seconds then gradually idles down again to normal, then idles up and down, you have to have one of your feet on the brake an the other on the gas pedal, it also shoots out black smoke out the exhaust pipe. very scary to drive, but once on the freeway it drive good, but if you let go of the gas pedal slightly, it will jerk suddenly, get a new one or get one from an auto salvage to make sure that it is your problem, then go buy a new one, good -luck, I am going to try several from the salvage yard till I find a good one that actually helped me with this problem, then I will go get a new map sensor also."speedon55@hotmail.com".....
