Why does my Nissan Maxima produce vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content with the roots of this form of issue on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is ancient or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a issue behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can bring about this kind of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Nissan Maxima only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this content. The simple fact that you come to feel trembling on your Nissan Maxima during your acceleration periods, in this scenario you will have to examine the state of some parts because a good number of elements can be at the beginning of these vibrations and whether or not you are unlucky a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Nissan Maxima is faulty, it may bring about vibrations that you will come to feel when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disturb the behavior of your turbo and create vibrations that you may experience at the time of acceleration of your Nissan Maxima.

If, alternatively, you identify that your Nissan Maxima vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to check:

  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and affect the evacuation of exhaust gases which can bring about Nissan Maxima vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will bring out the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working properly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running properly.

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Nissan Maxima? What can I do?

To conclude, in this last section, we will provide you the answers available to you to handle these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt according to the component that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Nissan Maxima, it will be good for you to control all the components connected to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and most of the time the issue does not come exclusively from the turbo. So make sure examine your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Nissan Maxima to your mechanic.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is often easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always take a look at it and clean it, for this see our content on cleaning the EGR valve of an Nissan Maxima.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very fragile components and a few harmful particles may be enough to affect their operation. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will only have to replace it with a new one.
