remove any and all aftermarket ignition parts
i.e
distributor car
rotor
plug wires
if the spark plugs are not NGK they need replacing too


Then you need to go buy factory Nissan OEM parts.



To fix the fuel leak you need to buy the rubber vent hose that connects the
filler neck to the tank, this is a common problem on older Max;s

If they are the bosch "platium" type, that's your problem. Get some NGK
plugs and you'll be fine
