hey guys ive had my 2002 maxima for 3 years now and i have a question---just got my tranny rebuilt and something weird has been going on--i start up my car and put it in gear--then i try to push the gas and it stalls--its an auto --shouldnt stall--what could the problem be?--i have 79k miles on it

 

could someone please help me with this --could the idle need adjusting? what could it be ?

 

is your ses light by chance? was the problem evident right after the tranny rebuild?

 

the ses light was on until last week when i took it to the dealer for some stupid 373 job but it happened before the tranny got rebuilt also

 

it use to stall in traffic but now its been happening when i shift either into reverse and give it some gas or drive its an occiasional thing but its annoying as hell

 

That happened to my freinds I-30 try this its worth a try....he had water in his intake from washing etc?? anyway we turned on the car and let it idle in park for about 5 minutes, maybe a little shorter longer? but there was water in his intake and the water "needed to be boiled out" cuz it was doing the same as yours it sounds liek to me, hey its worth a try i guess?

 

Thanks dude --any other suggestions of what this could be?--is it something really serious?

 

I know Ford Taurus' have a problem when the tranny goes bad with this exact symptom. I'd guess either someone didn't rebuild your tranny right or you have a vacuum problem somewhere (probably this since you just had major work done). Who did the tranny work?

 

the person who did my tranny work was just a small time shop guy who GM use 2 pay him to go to school to learn about how to fix trannys but then he started his own shop--i heard he is awesome at building trannys but i dunno
