My 2000 Nissan Pathfinder runs good when first starting up but as it warms up it begins to sputter when accelerating and the rpms jump, but does't get good acceleration. I've replaced the fuel filter and pump as well as the temperature coolant sensor.

Change your plugs and run a couple of bottles of injector cleaner through it. Sounds like you have some carbon buildup. Also check the catalytic converter for excessive back pressure. i hope this helps.

I have a 2000 nissan xterra and when it gets to normal running temperature it starts to sputter,looses rpms, missing, and then power. Then it wont start back up i changed the fuel filter and the fuel pump...

You need a distrubuter. I would not us an aftermarket one because Nissans do not like aftermarket parts for some reason. But that is most likley it.

I have a '93 nissan pathfinder and whenever I try to accelerate or if my RPMs get lower than 2000 it starts sputtering, it is also idling low and sputtering then as well. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

You need your idle speed adjusted, or you have bad gas, or you have dirty fuel injectors. I would put some injector cleaner in the fuel tank. Go fill the car up. Then if it doesn't improve by the end of that tankfull, I'd take it in for a tune-up.

It could be a spark plug, plug wire, or a coil. Sometimes thay break down intermittently. If it needs a tuneup, that would be the first thing to do.
