Help! Engine Stalls While Driving
jonpaul0104:
some call it the oxygen sensor...MAF if i am not wrong is Mass Air Flow sensor.....tend to get choked or dirty.....
then car will vibrate before dying off.....
is that the symptoms?
if i am not wrong cost abt $200+
but seek a second opinion at other workshops that specialise on Nissan cars.....
sandorasan:
Thanks Jonpaul0104!
No, the car does not vibrate before dying off.
Usually, it just becomes sluggish, ie the speed does not seem to correspond to the usual pressing of accelerator, or the engine feels as though it has disengaged (ie not responding well to the accelerator or a long lag time before speed picks up), after which the engine signal will light up and I will have about 5-10 secs to maneuver the car to the left lane before engine dies.
Thereafter, I would do a complete shutdown, wait for another few seconds before restarting the engine. Mostly, the car can restart without problem and I can continue driving, just that as the driver, you know it is not in its usual responsive condition. Sometimes, the engine signal will remain lighted up, and the car cannot move.
A friend has suggested it could be the ECU. That sounds rather major and frightfully damaging to the wallet...?
dsrio:
from your posting, it seems like your car no longer under warranty, i can understand that if pay for some parts replacement, but the problem still happen again, then waste of $ and the cycle repeats.
i also hate problems tat are intermittent, very hard to show the mechanic.
i wish you luck in finding a mechanic tat can solve your problem.
sandorasan:
Ya, the car is no longer under warranty.
I don't mind if the replacement parts can resolve the problem, but what they have done so far does not work.
Have spoken to a trusted mechanic recommended by a friend.
His advice is to take the car back to TCM as it concerns electronic components :crying:
jonpaul0104:
i guess is not ECU problem else the engine consult done in TCM would have picked up the problem.....
i guess is some mechanical problem.....to me I think MAF sensor is highest chance.....
anyway, go check it out at other workshop.....
