The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction.

Example:

An enzyme, which helps break down food. There are many different types of enzymes for specific types of foods. An enzyme is a type of catalyst.

The PCV vavle is located in the rear valve cover just behind the throttle body

I found these instructions --- "There should be 2 buttons to the left of the sterring wheel, keep pressing the button closest to the left until the mantience menu comes up, and from there it should be simple" Reminders: (1) Nissan says to get first Maxima oil change at 1,500 miles. (2) Nissan recommends non-synthetic oil during the break-in period (first 10,000 miles of a new car). Reason: synthetic oil is too slippery and does not provide the friction needed for the metal parts to settle in.

The gears are most likely stripped, youll have to take the door panel off and replace them. Or do what I did put the window up and jam a piece of cardboard in the bottom.

I ended up replacing the regulator on both doors. The system is basically a rubber gear bonded to the electric motor, which sits within a nylon gear (kind of looks like a starfish) that runs the window up and down. I tried, unsuccessfully, to epoxy the motor drive-shaft to the rubber gear, but it only lasted a couple of weeks. Finally bought two at a junkyard. They were easy to replace.

Sounds like you may have a vacuum leak- check under the hood and under dash area

OK ...AFTER A LONG OVERVIEW OF BOTH MY MANUALS...I DO NOT SEE A ..."POISTION" SENSOR LISTED......HOWEVER I DO SEE A CRANK ANGLE SENSOR..I BELIEVE THATS WHAT YOU ARE MEANING..IT IS INCORPORATED INTO THE DISTRIBUTOR SYSTEM...YOU CAN LOCATE IT UNDER THE ROTOR IN SIDE THE DISTRIBUTOR ITSELF......ALL THE BEST ..........BUDDY MACK.......THANKS FOR INCLUDING ENGINE INFO AND YEAR...

How do you know when your Catalyic Converter needs to be clean or needs to be replacsed

Hold the handle open so you don't break the latch and kick it (gently) from the inside.

There are two crankshaft sensors on 1995 and later models

The crankshaft position sensor (REF) is mounted at the front of the engine on the aluminum oil pan section below the crankshaft pulley

The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is mounted on the aluminum oil pan section at the rear of the engine near the transaxle bellhousing

The 1996 Nissan Maxima takes 22" drivers and 21" passenger side wiper blades. See sources and related links below. Do not buy wipers just by length however, and be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers for the brand wiper you decide to purchase by vehicle make, model and year. This ensures correct length AND attachment.

The cylinder #s look like this if u stand in front of the hood

1 3 5(Firewall side/Rear coils)2 4 6(Close to the radiator- front coils)

it is front of the spare tire you will see a black flap lift that and there it is , if you look in the center of the spare tire you will see the Bose sub-woofer .

i just did one today, the best way is to remove the airbox and conduit to the throttle body, remove the 3 plugs connected to the throttle body, remove the 2 nuts and 2 bolts from the throttle body. there is a plug bracket connected to the lower left stud, this is for the egr temp sensor, disconnect it. now slide the throttle body off the studs about an inch or so so the egr can slide out. remove all the nuts from the valve including the two accessed from behind the intake (these are a little tricky, it helps to remove the 12mm bolt on the bracket that holds the intake plenum up and slide the bracket toward the drivers side) remove the modulator assy with its bracket (its got a short hose on it that attaches to the stainless tube on the egr valve) with all that out of the way you can pull the old valve out. replacement is reverse of removal.

I have been chasing this problem for around 6 months. Last bit of information is that it appears to be a fuel pressure/delivery problem. With a maintenance scanner connected and the above situation occurs, the oxygen sensor maxes out indicating too much oxygen and insufficient gas. Recommendation is to have fuel system pressure tested. Fuel filter has been replaced with no help. Fuel pump could be suspect. I had the same problem with my 2000 Maxima. It felt like the car was sucking too much air or running out of gas under full throttle acceloration as the RPM got past about 3500. Power suffered as well. I replace the MAF mass airflow sensor and it was like I had a new car! The part is pretty easy to replace, taking about 20 minutes. The MAF in line with the air intake system. I have had the same problem with my 2000 GLE Max, sometimes the TCS/Slip came on and never go out. After searching many forums I noticed most 2000 Nissan Maximas have defective coils, I brought it to dealership and pay some money for diagnostic, they ssaid that all six coils are defected, they caused back fired. It tooks me more than 6 hours to replace the coils and voila I really enjoy my Max again. Hope this will help.

There are two fuse boxes in a 1995 De ville, one is in the trunk on the drivers side next to the trunk release and the other is under the hood driver's side by the wiper fluide bottle. It maybe under the back seat. The battery is under the back seat in our 2001 cadillac.

To install a solenoid, first ensure the power is off to avoid electrical shock. Position the solenoid in the desired location, aligning its mounting holes with the corresponding surface. Secure it in place using screws or bolts, then connect the electrical wires according to the schematic provided, ensuring proper polarity. Finally, restore power and test the solenoid's operation.

Removing rear speakers: We only need the amp circuit boards to rebuild them. You can pull the boards out of the black plastic box from the trunk side. There is 3 deep holes in the box and they have Phillips screws in them. Remove these 3 screws and pull that lid off. Then there are 2 screws that hold the circuit board in and as long as there is a plug for the 6 wires that go into the board, then just unplug it and it can be sent for rear speaker rebuild. If there is no plug, then the whole assembly will have to be taken out from the top. See direction for taking out the back seat below. 89-90 Maxima rear speakers

On some of these, if there isn't a plug to unplug the circuit board from the rear speaker, then the rear seat has to be moved in order to pull speakers out. The plug makes the job simple, if no plug then it's not so easy and you may want to consider having a mechanic remove them. In order to access the rear speakers, you must first remove the backrest of the rear seat. There are 2 10mm bolts on driver side and passenger side, in the crack of the seat, that hold each bottom corner of the backrest down. Once removed, you can pull out and push up on the backrest to slide off hooks along top rear of backrest. Once that's out of your way, there are 2 plastic screws and screw holders that hold the brake light in place, remove the brake light and it unplugs. Also remove the metal bracket that held the light. Along the rear window on the inside, the plastic long pieces will snap up and off with a regular screwdriver. The whole panel now that holds the speaker grills will snap up, look from the trunk, you can see the large plastic snaps (green) that stick out by the speaker, you can help them unsnap from the bottom by squeezing them with needle nose. Move the whole piece to get to the 2 speakers, each has 3 gold nuts to loosen to remove from below.

Inspect all the vacuum lines, you may have one cracked and you are loosing vacuum to operate the HVAC system.
