Question about 2002 Nissan Maxima

1 Answer

2001 Maxima Shuts down when stopped or idleing..

Ok - We've had this car for a little more than a year, when we bought it we took it in for complete servicing (new brakes, O2 sensors, oil and filter changes) but our car has now gotten worse when it idles or is stopped it dies. It has now started to shut down while we are driving (slowly or beginning to stop at a light or stop sign). The service tech said it was the O2 sensors and all were replaced. Before I pay thousands of dollars to have repaired, can you offer a solution as to why this is still happening?

It may be the idle or speed or throttle position sensor what ever it may be called on your particular car.It usually is not very expensive to replace.

Iddle and Throttle problem!
had the same problem with the same year model, changed the idle position sensor, did not fix problem. took it to dealer because I was told that it had to have an idle relearn program ran on it, it didn't take and the dealer toldme that I need a ECM (engine control module) basically a new computer and it would cost with labor about 1100.00 dollars.

I'd suggest your idle track sensor Or an air leak on your fuel line suction side

My 95 nissan maxima is idling rough and then stalling when i let off the gas or am stopped at a light or stop sign; i have replaced the coolant temperature sensor, not it. Took it to the nissan dealership...
the problem is fuel related and nowhere else
it indicates a vacuum leak , either at the manifold , brake booster , transmission actuator hose/unit for the transmission or hoses that control under that dash
bad at stopping at light indicates that it is the brake booster
simple test is to put the hand brake on, start the engine and if it idles ok , put your foot on the brake
if still ok move vent controls ,
if with the foot on the brake it plays up , replace the brake booster

My 2001 Nissan Maxima keeps cutting off at the stop lights and in traffic. But runs fine during traffic just cuts off when I come to a stop. Can you help?
It is hard to say without being there to fully inspect it and reading codes, but usually idle tracking is the fault. A code reader from either Wal Mart or most auto part stores will be perfect for you and though they cost a little they will save you so much money over the years. Most auto shops charge at least $30 just to hook up a code reader and diagnose your vehicle. Make sure you get the one that is universal and for many makes. That way no matter what cars you buy, you can diagnose them yourself

1996 mitsubishi eclipse power issue
keep it idling a little bit high about 1000 and remove the +ve terminal from the battery if went down then you have to check the alternator if it keeps on idling turn the headlights on (high beam ) if it stops then again you need to check the alternator if keeps on idling then alternator is ok
