I used to own a 1998 SE (5-spd) and never had any cold starting issues or any other engine problems with it.
Unfortunately, I sold it (Nov 2003) so that I could use the $$$$ to help pay for my 2003 350Z. It had 101,000+ miles (75% highway miles) when it was sold and it still ran like new.
I kind of regret selling it, but oh well. At least its in good hands with family.
Maybe I'll buy it back sometime. After I finish paying off my Z.
Best of luck to ya.
I still think the Maxima is one of the best comprimises between a sports car and a family car. There was nothing close for the money in 98 when we bought it. I wish a 350Z was an option, but with a 2 year old and another coming in July, we need the back seat and four doors. The 98 will be around for a while, it's only got 75K on it and still runs like new other than the cold start issue.
