Try checking the harness to your fuel pump, run a ground wire somewhere onto gastank from body of vehicle but must be rust and paint free or a ground wont contact (dont weld or put screws into tanks maybe the edge or corner can be cleaned and a tiny hole - use a brass wire brush that wont spark eh, or if there is a leak in lines you are sucking air lol but that would be more sputtering and hard starting. that thing is old and inside tank rusty perhaps and sucking this rust into filter and another filter on fuel pump & pick-up tube if pump is inside the tank, some vehicles have a port under the back seat to access fuel pump & sending Unit. The fuel pump relay could be pitted so switch that with one of the others with same numbers,
there is a big steel ring around fuel pump *& sending unit access port to seal it and this area has to be cleaned so you tap the ring into unlock position tapping with hammer and brass punch so as not to spark, be extremely careful as rusty lines could break - once the ring is turned the sending unit will come out of tank being careful to not damage the float that is attached which runs to a rheostat to give you your fuel level.
once the fuel pump is out you can carefully disassemble and replace with a new or used pump from reputable used auto sales, but never pay 400 for complete sending unit that's for the rich & lazy.
when the fuel pump comes out put a rag in the hole as any spark is a boom! So, check filter at end of the pump and pick up tube and shake and tap and rust debris out of fuel pump can connect to a cheap 9 volt adapter (never the car battery (too many amps) but a 9-Volt rectangular battery is ok like the kind in a smoke detector!! or 9 volt DC power adapter with 300 milliwatts just for a few seconds to see if pump pumps, or perhaps in reverse for just a second or 2 to pump out old dirt but needs to be submerged in fuel to do so which is totally dangerous so ya not for everybody and be good to know the polarity and just brush the wires together for the first tests and I dont actually suggest all or any of this for anyone to actually do this as I have in the past but if you are brokea$$ and gotta, then just dont blame me for your stupidity of you make a mistake or deem this rediculous but this is backyard style.
just a few tips...
sounds very difficult but likely something simple.
\I would invest in the cheap bluetooth OBDII auto diagnostic tool on Ebay for 10. or so. Every car should have one and or everyone! Dont pay dealer 90$,
Good luck.
give us feedback if your issue is solved, that gives us incentive and ways to solve your problems, sorry im not so eloquant but try some of the simpler things first.

Thanks

SOURCE: Check Engine Light 1996 Nissan Maxima

The best way is to use a scan tool to clear the codes, that will turn off the light, also disconnecting the battery over night may work, but no completely sure about that, it varies from year to year.

SOURCE: where is coolant temp sensor and knock sensor on 95 nissan maxima

Mine usually stalled coming out the driveway. I went thru replacement of 6 coils and plugs with almost no improvement on my 2000 maxima. Ultimately the mass air flow sensor was replaced. All the engine codes from check engine light would make you think the engine needs overhaul, due to the nature of resultant bad engine performance. You can buy maf sensor $100 online. 5 minutes to install it. I tried cleaning it, but it made no difference until I replaced it. After that it was like 50 more horsepower.

Have 95 Nissan Maxima that stalls at stop lights and when slowing down. Have seen several solutions to problem: Mass Air Flow, idle Air flow valve, crack in intake boot and engine coolant temp sensor. How...

unfortunately in your mode maxima nissan had quite a few issues because of beeing the first model of A32 body style from the older J30 model maxima. from what i have seen in the past it could be anything from bad harness, to flodded ECM/computer because of water entering into vehicle because of faulty cowling on top of windshield, to bad ground between trans and engine housing. if the check engine light is on, you need to scan for codes to get started. if no check engine light is on that that makes it alot harder to diagniose. if no check engine light is on, i would look at the top of the computer bracket to see if its rusted up, that coilud be sign of water coming in and flodding computer causing running issues/drivability porblems.

1997 Nissan maxima (auto): Car runs well, engine sounds strong but will randomly idle down or rough and sometimes stall. I give it gas to bring it back to idle, most often a sluggish response as I...

you know what that sounds like it may be.... believe it or not check your trans fluid (car running WARM and in park ) make sure that the fluid is red almost pink like not dark red. Also why not try and change out the spark plugs and air cleaner!

When I slow down to a complete stop, my 1999 chrysler sebring cuts off. Can you help me?

Possibly a transmission issue. The transmission has a "lockup" mode, where a clutch connects the engine directly to the transmission at cruising speeds. It is then supposed to unlock at lower speeds and for stopping. If it doesn't unlock, the car will stall at a stop. Try putting it into neutral (carefullly, so you don't go into reverse) as you slow down, if it doesn't stall out, it is most likely the transmission lockup mechanism.

If it stalls in neutral it is an engine issue. Bad idle control, bad ignition (it's easier to fire at high speed), bad fuel injector, bad air flow/pressure sensor... and more possibilities.

Car sometimes dies at idle and does not set a code

this can be caused by and usually is a sludged up idle speed control valve, follow the instructions below to correct this
, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

My nissan maxima stalls

Every answer here is wrong. This has been driving people nuts for 15 years. The problem is the engine wiring harness which has a bend going past the right strut tower, Nissan had a service bulletin on this in September of 1999, Google it, it's in pdf.
