Recently my 04 maxima wouldn't crank up in the morning. No turn or anything, brought battery to autoparts store and was a bad battery.

Ok, then the next day I crank car up and it cranks, revs, then dies. But, if I give it a little bit of gas it would stay on and drive fine. Does this everytime.

Any help or input would be appreciated.

Car never had the plugs changed or a tuneup. Thinking a tune-up would be sufficient, but I heard bad news about the fuel pump might be going bad.

Thanks in advance!

Or any response on this thread would be fine also

 

Also, is access to the fuel pump in an 04 maxima located under the rear seat?

 

it could be your MAF?

 

how would I go to test that?

 

do you have any Check Engine lights?

 

If you're high mileage, and plugs haven't been changed, I'd suggest you get that done as part of troubleshooting...

 

bad plugs would cause shuddering and engine shaking (misfire).

 

Slugish power and stalling certainly are possible with very old plugs. Are you suggesting he shouldn't change high mileage plugs? How would he rule out plugs if they aren't changed?

We can philosophies all day long, but the only thing fixing this car is troubleshooting.

 

car has 100k miles, no shuddering or misfires drives fine. Just at start up it will crank, rev, then die unless I give it a lil gas
