Stalling Out Problem

A couple of months ago I was turning a corner and stalled out. I then started it right back up without a problem. 2 weeks later it happened again. It happened again yesterday & this morning. Not sure what it is. Most of the time it happens when I turn the corner. Today I watched as I shifted out of gear into neutral. The RPM's usually fall to 600-700. They fell down to about 100-200 then bounced up to 600. It must be at that point that I usually stall. What could it be? Maybe a vacuum hose?

Some starting points:

- Loose crank or cam sensor wires
- Fuel pump on its way out

If it's a 5 speed check to see if maybe the fuel cut TSB matches your symptoms.

Very hard to diagnose a problem like this without DTCs.

2 Things:
1. I looked and the TSB seems to be for 2K1 Maximas w/ M/T
2. What is a DTC?

I had a similar occurrance several months ago. Stalling in an intersection, stalling in a turn, etc. Turned out to be a hose that had come loose, creating a vacuum leak. Simple fix.

I went into the dealership to have them fix the wind noise and clutch squeaking problems this past Friday. The service person asked me if I was in for the engine sensor recall. He said it was a problem were the engine sensor malfunctions and the car stalls out. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Maybe you should check it out.
