I think i have the same problem with my Maxima ' 97. After stopping on a traffic light, when light changes to green and I take my foot from the brake and put it on gas the car either shuts down or it feels like it doesn’t want to go on the first gear, no matter how hard I push the pedal. If it shuts down, it usually restarts in about 20 seconds. It happens few times a day, not all the time. Mechanics are unable to determine the problem and i already spent $500 on same things you did. Don't know what to do anymore. Replies to this message: smith_gw (Oct 01, 2008 9:03 am)

Replying to: galka5 (Oct 01, 2008 7:37 am) I had a similar problem with my 98 SE. When accelerating from a stop position, the car would jerk and not want to go. It was almost the same feeling as if the clutch was let out too fast on a manual transmission. My car was diagnosed by our mechanic as needing a new mass air flow sensor. This was replaced (total cost was around $450-$500) and the issue hasn't occurred since.   Good luck.

Replying to: galka5 (Oct 01, 2008 7:34 am) It's either the mass air flow sensor or the throttle position sensor. Replies to this message: galka5 (Oct 01, 2008 12:20 pm)

Replying to: mopardude360 (Apr 26, 2008 3:15 pm) Not to worry. After a spark plug replacement, you will get codes because you disconnected a bunch of wires. Just reset the codes ( or have them reset at a place like AutoZone) . In a couple of weeks the engine computer will collect enough data and you can pass inspection etc.. will be A-Ok.

Replying to: kanej316 (May 02, 2008 12:23 pm) If this is a stick shift, make sure you are pushing the clutch pedal all the way down.

I took my maxima in for an inspection and it did not pass due to the service engine light being on. The mechanic said 3 fault codes popped up which were: P0110, P0325, and P0100.  A friend said my O2 sensor might need to be changed and it would correct all those codes.  If anyone knows anything further on this and know how much $$$ this might end up costing me please give me some input!   Thank you!

Replying to: ashmax (Oct 05, 2008 8:52 pm) P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank I or Single Sensor) P0100 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction P0110 IAT Circuit Malfunction   You need to replace a knock sensor on bank 1, MAF, Intake Air Temperature is usually a function of the MAF so I'd replace the MAF and check it from there.   BTW, I don't see anything relating to the O sensors. So how did your friend figure this out? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 06, 2008 6:47 am)

Replying to: obyone (Oct 06, 2008 2:22 am) computer codes don't identify the defective component. All they can do is tell you the system, circuit or component that is currently unhappy. As to WHY it's unhappy, that requires further hands-on diagnostics. The MAF can be tested and that's an excellent place to start.

I have a 99 maxima, its been a great vehicle for its 240k. after the 1st 100k i made the stalling go away with O2, plugs, coils, mass air flow being replaced, even at 190 when it returned i replaced O2 plugs, coil and mass air flow. but it isnt going away. for a day it will run fine then slowly start back. It boggs down when first taking off. Then as it warms up it becomes more pronounced. Soon even when running at higher speeds the RPMs drop. At this point it wont idle in park and can become very hard to start again. I never have replaced the Idle air control valve. Thats my next step. any other sugestions ? I dont wont to get rid of it. The engine and transmission and appearance are stll very good. But when after bringing it to Nissan and they could not ID it I am very discouraged.
