Hello everyone,

I have a 2002 Maxima SE, This morning while driving into work I approached a stop light and my car died when I proceeded to go from a standing halt. This has never happened before and it took me by surprise. It didn't respond well after that either. When I accelerated, it hesitated and didn't have the punch it normally does, was a bit sluggish. I use 93 octane gas, and recently I filled up with 93 octane and put in a bottle of Prestone fuel injector cleaner for some PM. My car has 25k miles.
Any help from anybody is greatly appreciated, you all were a great help when I had my 95 Maxima SE when it was down and out and got me back and running.

Thanks a million.

I think this sounds like either an O2 sensor or the MAF. You're still in warranty (B2B at that), so I would just take it in to the dealership, and have them replace whatever is faulty. But my guess is that it's one of those sensors.

By the way, 25K miles in 1 yr??? You in sales?
