Timing belt could have skipped a tooth.

Horrible vacuum leak could have started. Listen for suction noises when you raise the hood.

Someone could have poured sugar in your tank.

You could have put diesel in your tank instead of gas.

Could be a bad MAP sensor, TPS sensor, etc.

Need more details to be precise.

1995 NISSAN MAXIMA STALLING WHEN IDLING

Is there a check engine light on? Does it run well at other speeds? A stall at idle could be from a low idle ( the idle may have to be relearned using a shop computer). You may have a vacuum leak on a hose leaning out the motor and causing a stall. I would scan test the check engine for codes if it is on and possibly give yu a basis to start

Use a bottle of yellow HEET dry gas to remove any moisture problem in the fuel.

Clean / replace air filter.

Top off ATF to MAX level.

Use starting fluid to aid starting.

Hard Starting, Rough Idle & Stalls 1986 Nissan Maxima Problems & Solution

Sounds like a big vacume or intake leak. 1st check your intake tube make sure it has no splits also look under the tube with a mirror. Check clamps. Another possible is fuel flow & pressure. There is a couple of places to start.

Nissan maxima 2001 .Started running rough and stalled and smoking.Some say gaskets I am hoping it is the ignition coils

there are many things that cause this, so it is best to have it scanned if light is on. but it may be a bad coolant tempurature sensor the symtoms are --- if it is bad it will run to rich, run rough at idle, and produce black smoke. engine may stall out. a maf sensor may cause this also. just get car scanned to find problem code. if it is white smoke check for oil in anti-freeze, if so it may be a blown head gasket. but if that is bad it will over heat. have a good day!!

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!

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.
