1996 Nissan Maxima shuts off while driving

My 1996 Nissan maxima shuts off while driving especially when am in a traffic. I don't experience it if the car is on top speed. I have changed the plugs but it didn't stop.

Any check engine lights currently? Was the battery or alternator ever changed?

I had this same problem with my '96 Manual Maxima, every time I would shift into neutral, like when I'd roll up to a stop light or something, it would shut off and my battery light would come on and it wouldn't turn on for a few mins. My problem was never fixed, it just randomly stopped happening after awhile, but my alternator died not long after I made that post. I would take your car (if you can) to an Autozone/O'riellys etc and have them check for any faults your car is putting out. Also you should have them test what your alternator is putting out. If it's none of that, you could check your MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor). http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...gas-start.html This was my post a few months ago.
