Its a 01 maxima 5speed.. it dies on me even if im on the highway or taking off? i noticed when the car is moving and you rev it in neutral about 2500+ rpm and let off and it drops down to about 400 sometimes it keeps going down till it cuts off and sometimes it gets back to idle..
Any idea of what the problem may be??..just incase this might help it also has a CEL..

-THANKS

 

pull the codes from the CEL, thats the 1st place to start..

 

get the code, it can usually be broken down further after you get the code into a few smaller things that you can do yourself to correct it.
Post the code whenever u get it read.

 

Didnt get a code although its saying somethings wrong with an oxygen sensor.. wouldnt have expected that..

 

I think thats P0138 depending which 02... You clean your tb yet?

 

Mine did the same thing. Check the MAF (mass airflow sensor)

 

sounds like my problem.

car wouldn't start in the winter so we replaced o2 sensors, cat, maf, and alternator.

ever since then, my car will die on idle.

ive been told it's the iacv

 

mine actually does the same thing. but its usually when theres a lot of bass bumpin. i think my subs are messin with somethin.


just in case:
3 10 inch jl w0 powered w/ 1800 watt amp

 

Sounds like your MAF. Mine did the same thing when my sensor went bad. Except it set a rev limiter at 2500 RPM.

It may also be your cam timing sensor. I had that code get pulled when I put Slick50 treatment in my oil. It ran real rough at about 200-400 RPM at idle...but mine never stalled out.

 

My bet is either on the MAF or IACV. Read up in this thread: http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...-stalling.html.

 

crank position sensor. just dealt with this about a month ago.

 

+1.. i had to get mine done a few months back.. if it indeed is that.. make sure you go by a dealership and check if the recall was done
