Check engine light came on about 3 weeks ago and throttle started sticking and pulsating between 1100-1500 RPM's while stopped in a parking lot or at a light. Sometimes when I put it in park it jumps all the way to 2000 rpm's. This morning, normal dry weather, mid-70's temp, turned a corner and SCS OFF and SLIP light came on and car started chugging like it had a clogged fuel filter or bad injector. But only did that on takeoff from a light. Took it home and parked it till payday. Any ideas or solutions. It's a 2000 SE with 165K on it. Thanks!

UPDATE: Finally had chance to take it by auto parts place to have them throw their basic diag on it. P0100 was first Code that came up. Then he mentioned the MAF. Next up was P0420. Something about catalytic bank 1. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to dumping a ton of money in the car. I bought it 4 months ago and bought it about 2K back of book, so I'm ok putting SOME $ into and keeping it to about 250K miles, but don't need a money pit on my hands. Any other guidance/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try changing the crankshaft position sensor bank 2

I have had no luck with aftermarket sensors. Try going to nissan will be more expensive but would rather buy 1 instead of 2. Crankshaft sensor closest to the firewall is the one that pertains to the slip Tcs lights I have found out the hard way.

I had to pull over on the side of the road... had trouble starting the car back up. It was having trouble turning over. So these two lights, TCS OFF and SLIP remain on the rest of the drive home (about 15 mins). Car is driving a little different. Get home, check oil... it's OK. Not sure what else to check.

This morning, start car fine. Lights are off. Goto work. Pulling into work parking lot a car pulls in front of me out of nowhere and I brake suddenly. SAME THING, car shuts off. All these lights come on. What is going on here??? Does anybody know anything about a Maxima acting like this??? HEEEEELLLLP!

what did the problem turn out to be because my 2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5 is doing the same thing!
