Nissan Murano 2007- Engine stays on start, but doesn't move

HOW many miles on the engine (REDUX)?/? 3.5L V6 engine? or 2.5 or the Diesel??????????
I'd have to drive IT to know.
let me guess the mech tested the car and it ran OKAY, so says" I can't find the problem. " ( what else")
you never told what the engine does , when it does fail and is Intermittent.
just that engine is ON. (runs)
and car does not move, sometimes.
what matters first, only when it fails, is does ENGINE RPM RISE fast and high when it fails.
see how that works, if it did the transmission is slipping (CVT are not fun here)
2500 RPM when it fails, right foot in to the throttle pedal this is transmission slip (failure)
if RPM are low failed, that is engine failure. (lean burning) or EGR stuck on or other problems , many.

lost engine power. has lots of causes; but this is gas(petrol) answer.

1: engine failing ,top cause , VVT or that chain loud noise? ?
2: spark plugs bad over 100k miles, (not diesel)
3: fueling bad, even bad fuel, or goes lean due to fuel pressure loss.(low) fuel pump weak?


driveLine choices day1, new not told gen 2, 2007 car.

Gasoline:
2.5 L QR25DE I4
3.5 L VQ35DE V6 <<<, seen in USA is it?
Diesel:
2.5 L YD25DDTi I4 no 2010 first

TransmissionCVT (Gasoline)

6-speed automatic (Diesel) 2010 up/

boots are here.

Toyota Corolla SW 1.4 VVT-i E12, 2004. Buzzing noise coming from the engine bay when accelerating on gear.

Hi there,

The sound you hear, is it a whining, popping, grinding, scraping or rattling sound?
If you drive a manual transmission vehicle and notice a grinding noise, it can indicate the clutch gear is no longer disengaging correctly.

I press on the gas pedal on my 2007 Kia optima and nothing happens. The engine is running

If you have drive by wire, It could be the TPS/gas pedal sensor or the vehicle is in limp mode. Have the codes read. If it is cable driven, the cable has popped off the throttle or the cable broke.

Club cart doesn't always start

This is not really a car question, but you are probably right on your hunch. There should be a switch under the floor that is connected to the gas pedal. There may also be a switch in the linkage where it makes contact with the engine.

1993 paseo slows down when gas pedal is at a certain spot

It could possibly be a throttle position sensor that is going bad in one spot. When it gets on one bad spot the ECU will get a signal saying that the throttle is completely closed and cut off fuel.
