When I put the ignition switch on "start" position, the engine is turned over. The RPM could reach to 1,000+ and then go down quickly to ZERO again. Now I found one temporary solution. If I depress the gas pedal a little bit and keep the RPM above 1,000 for a while, (maybe 2 to 5 seconds). then it's fine. When the car drives for a short distance, even 2 miles and turn off the engine and restart, it work properly. Today I made another test. Once it started with the help of depressing the gas pedal, I turned off the engine after 5 seconds. Then try to restart it, it still not work. .

The battery, starter and spark plugs were replaced in the past month. I checked with dealer, they said I need to use Nissan original spark plugs(NGK). The spark plug I used is the Denso Platinum.

Anybody has the experience, please give me some suggestion. I appreciate your help.

 

Clean your throttle body.

www.motorvate.ca has a nice write up on how to do this easy task.

 

Could also be a vacuum leak check the vacuum lines that go into the intake are tight and not cracked/broken... had that prob after changing my intake.

 

Thanks for the nice suggestion. I will try to clean up the throttle body at first and see what happen.

 

same thing happened with my car, clean the tb thats how i solved it.

 

I also has the same problem and also hesitation after a stop and go.
Took it to the autoshop for a 90k full maintanence service . THey replacedall the filter,plugs etc. Checked all the sensors,coils. Ran fulll diagnostics. No codes. Cleaned TB. Nothing came out. In fact the hesitation has increased. Can anybody suggest what else could be done
to fix this? This is driving me nuts.

 

check the any sensors yet?

1. knock sensor
2. O2 sensor
3. engine coolant temperature sensor

adjust IAC (idle air control) valve?

 

According to service personnel there are no codes and I a not sure
they checked them.

 

i got the same problem with my 95 se with 122k miles

 

also could this be relating to my terrible milage? 220/tank

 

After the car stalls when I do a restart lot of smoke came out of exhaust. Is this the case fuel flooding?

 

My car used to do it and it only died ocasionally, starter was binding when it was cold. I still get around to fixing it but it stopped doing it ever since it got warm over here, but I still need to put some grease in there.

 

Service tech couldn't find any signs inside so far regarding stalling and
hesitation but they told they would like to try more.

 

how cold is it over there? could have something to do with it also

 

I am in california. Its 75 here. I have this problem only after engine
gets warm.

 

Well it turned out to be faulty air flow meter(part cost is $488) for
stalling problem. Apart from stalling I also have hesitation problem
after accelerating from a complete stop. Will replacing air flow meter
fix hesitation also? THe service tech thinks this might fix hesitation also
apart from stalling.

 

Replace Spark Plugs?

 

Have been replaced couple of days back

 

Thanks for the nice suggestion you guys provided for me. My car runs great after cleaning the throttle body.
