I've got a 1995 Nissan Altima 2.4L Automatic. I can start it up and let it idle for like 5 minutes or drive it maybe 2 miles and it will just die.

This issue could be caused by several different factors, some of which include:
  1. Fuel delivery issue: The engine may not be getting enough fuel, which could be caused by a clogged fuel filter, a faulty fuel pump, or a malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator.
  2. Ignition system issue: The engine may not be getting enough spark, which could be caused by a faulty ignition coil, a bad spark plug, or a problem with the distributor.
  3. Engine overheating: If the engine overheats, it may cause the engine to stall and not restart.
  4. Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak in the engine could cause the engine to stall, especially at idle.
  5. Mass air flow sensor: A faulty mass air flow sensor can cause the engine to stall.
You may need to diagnose the issue further with the help of a mechanic or by using a diagnostic tool.

I have a 95 Buick Century 3.1, I start it cold It idles like it always has, but after a minute it idles down to almost dying sputter, then revs high, then back to normal idle, and runs fine after that

What causes an engine to stall at idle?
If the engine stalls while idling or driving, the engine may be running out of fuel or not receiving enough fuel pressure to keep it running. The most likely cause of this kind of stalling would be a fuel pump that is not spinning fast enough or is intermittently cutting out.

Car idles very rough and often dies when stopped or not giving enough gas. when i park and get out of car there is a noticable smell of gas. would it be fuel injectors or gas pump?

Engine stall or RPM fluctuates at idle.

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

When turn on it idles up and down than it stalls untill it reaches 40 mh than it's fine unless I turn it off even if for a second it does it all over again

If its a carb then the ports could be clogged and an unefficient amount of fuel is getting to your engine at that certain rpm. Or it could be an air filter issue try checking your air filter to see if its extremely dirty also. Or your throttle body may be getting stuck. It sounds like an air issue but could also be a fuel issue make sure your fuel filter isnt clogged and that your getting a steady stream of fuel from your fuel line. Hope that helps

Car stalls

the problem sounds like it is not getting enough of fuel. check or replace fuel filter to see if this helps, also make sure fuel pump is pumping the fuel at the right pressure. have pressure checked if need be. if not enough fuel a vehicle will run at idle, but stall under pressure.

'93 Aerostar-stalls while driving/scary-stalls in 'drive' at stops

Wow!!! Now that's a headfull of problems....
This could be a great many things...
Check these before you sell. I have a '93 Aerostar and can't live without it.
1. Check idle speed
2. Fuel filter may be clogged or water in the fuel system.
3. Choke improperly adjusted or sticking.
4. Distributor components damp or damaged.
5. Faulty emissions components.
6. Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs/ Also check wires.
7. Vacuum leak at the carburetor/fuel injection unit or vacuum hoses.
8. On 1986 models, stalling during idle or deceleration may be caused by sludge in the throttlebody. (2.3 litre engine)
9. On 1986 & 1987 models with a 2.3 litre engine,hesitation or stalling during acceleration may be caused by carbon build-up on the intake valves.....I hope this helps!! Adios
