Hello ramondo

Start with inspecting the electrical condition of the fuel pump.

Perform the following procedure:
a. Turn the ignition switch OFF .

b. Unplug the fuel pump electrical connector.

c. Using an ohmmeter, set on the lowest scale, connect the probes to terminals a and c ,the resistance should approximately be 0 Ohms. if not within specifications, the fuel pump may be faulty.

d. If the fuel pump resistance is OK, plug in the fuel pump electrical connector.

Release the fuel pressure. Connect a fuel pressure gauge between the fuel filter outlet and fuel feed tube

Connecting a pressure gauge between the fuel filter outlet and the fuel rail inlet tube will allow an accurate reading of the fuel pressure.

1995-98 models: 34 psi (235 kPa)-At idle, fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose connected

Make sure the fuel filter is not blocked before replacing any fuel system components.

Stop the engine. Disconnect the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose from the intake manifold and plug the intake manifold opening.

Using a variable vacuum source, connect it to the fuel pressure regulator.

Start the engine and read the fuel pressure gauge as the vacuum is changed.

If pressure is not as specified, replace the pressure regulator and repeat the test. If the pressure is still incorrect, check for clogged or deformed fuel lines, then replace the fuel pump.

Hello ramondo

I screwed up too to tell you that there is no nissan maxima 4 cylinders, there is only 95, 3.0L SFI DOHC 6cyl. And the procedure for diagnosing the fuel pump I wrote is correct. The mileage is not important.

let me know what you found.
