I have a 96 max with 133,000 for starters. A few months ago very intermitantly my car would just die when coming to a stop but would then start up right away. This problem has become progressively worse up to this point. Oh yeah this problem only seemed to happen when the engine was cold about 3-4 min after driving. Last night though, the car seemed like it wasn't getting gas and I couldn't accelerate and then died while driving...something new.

I have done just about every possible preventative maint item : fuel system cleaning, fuel filter, oe NGK plugs, cleaned the heated wire on the maf, knock sensor, all three o2's.

The check engine light does not come on and it has not been setting any codes either. I ohmed the crank sensors and the one on the side of the motor by the crank pully was just right on the edge of the range..so I decided to replace it and see what happens.

If anyone has any advise I would really appreciate it. Thanks

 

Don't know if this would fix it, but have you cleaned your throttle body?

 

I'm sorry but I forgot to mention that I did also clean my throttle body at the same time I did the fuel system cleaning...but thanks for the advice though

 

I had some similar weird problems going on with my max just last week. I replaced the CPS and most of them went away. Just the CPS near the pulleys above the oil pan(it was $67 at nissanpartsdistributor.com). If you put it on and it doesn't fix your problem, look to your TPS.

well andrew i actually replaced that same cps sensor on friday afternoon and have not had the problem since...granted it has only been a day but have started and driven the car many times since. It also seems like my car has a few extra horses...idk could just be my imagination. Thanks for the tip!
