I have a 1999 nissan pathfinder. It sporadically stalls while idling at a traffic light. Took it to a mechanic and they couldnt find anything wrong with it. There were no fault codes. They cleaned the throttle body but it still happens. No red indicator lights come on before it stalls. Since it is an intermittant problem it makes it difficult to diagnose. Any suggestions? thanks

    I just cleaned the MAF sensor based on comments I have seen on line. Time will tell if that resolves the problem. I'll report back on how it worked out.

SOURCE: 92 Nissan Pathfinder brake lights stuck on

Change the brake light switch on the brake pedal arm. Go down to the parts store and ask for a new brake liight switch for your Pathfinder and look up under the dash where the brake pedal arm goes and you will see the switch. You will need to unplug the wires to your old one and disconnect it and install the new one the same way. It is pretty much self adjusting once the brake pedal is released. If the brake light does not go out adjust the switch pin to be longer so it will depress when the pedal is released

SOURCE: 1999 nissan pathfinder jerks and stall when

YOU might find its due to the Auto Matic gear box as when you slow down at the lights or brake hard to stop the auto box should brake free at about 600rpm as to allow the car to stop but the engine to keep idling,but the drive bands in the gearbox and the pump which operate them are not braking free so its like, in a Manual g/box driving and stopping but leaving the clutch pedal and not pushing it in so the car stalls,
SO you may find that the next time you are driving it and come to the lights just try putting it in NEUTRAL gear before you stop and try, if it ok then get the g/box serviced . RON

I have a 1999 TERRANO QD32ETI engine and the problem which the local agents and private mechanics cannot solve is that when it's on the highways the engine performs well; that is it accelerates perfectly. However, when the vehicle comes to a dead stop, and you go for a quick take off the engine cuts out; it restarts quickly; now,when you make a slow acceleration after stopping the engine does not stall, but this can be a dangerous situation when crossing traffic on the highway or moving off from the traffic lights. We checked the computer, fuel pump and the injectors; our opinions differ and somehow
we feel the problem may be the fuel pump. We would appreciate your comments. Our many thanks for your kind assistance. Thanks Tony.

My 1999 Sunfire has been stalling and not able to run!!

could be many things engine overheating due to waterpump getting bad, could have intake manifold leak,faulty idle air control valve or faulty ignition module or CKP sensor.check see if you have fuel pressure when engine stop,fuel filter could be stopped up or fuel pump going bad, pcm could be failing best bet take car to a garage have it diagnostic checked.because you will spend more money guessing buy lot of new parts you dont need.take car to shop where mechanic has diagnostic equipment some mechanics can fix cars by ear, thats old school mechanics,the new generation vechicles has more complex and has lots of electronic parts, you need special diagnostic scanner to trouble shoot them.

My 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.8L stalls when stopped at a traffic light. Turns on just fine. Took it a while back to my local Pepboys and they said nothing was wrong with it. And it is still doing the same...

try your throttle adjustments or idle control sensor. should be on throttle body. unplug and replug random connections near that area while its running and see what makes a difference. also try checking exaust for restrictions in converter. feel for poor exaust coming out of muffler with your hand
