1998 Nissan Altima - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Why is my 1998 nissan altima keep shutting off at stop light?
Does it lunge forward a couple times when stopping? (Acts like a standard that the clutch wasn't pushed in while trying to stop). If so There is a solenoid inside the transmission that may cause this. If not second guess may be that you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Does your engine run rough? Or High idle?

How to check 1998 nisisan Altima a/c belts
Be aware the A/C belt is more than likely the Serpentine Belt for your Altima. This belt powers multiple functions of the car including the Alternator, Idler, Power Steering, etc. as well as the Air Conditioning Compressor. Attached is an image for what the A/C compressor on your car should look like, as well as a diagram of the belt and pulleys. (Ignore the RED arrows in the diagram) You will know the belt should be replaced if you can see 3 or more visible little cracks/frays within a one-inch segment. Any one crack that penetrates nearly halfway through the belt is also considered high risk. Also when a serpentine belt begins to go bad, people tend to hear a squeeking or squealing noise when they car starts up. I once had a mechanic tell me to keep an eye on my belt, and that it was looking sort of worn but nothing too terribly bad. I decided after i made the drive home for the holidays I would have it replaced. I did not make it more than 15 miles from the shop before it snapped, threw out my alternator which was not cheap to have replaced, and got stranded for over an hour. If you're questioning the condition of your belts, its best to play it safe!
