I have a 1998 Nissan Altima that sputters and jerks while driving and will occasionally die at red lights or stop signs

SOURCE: 2005 Nissan Altima cuts off while driving.

Dear Tajack73: Nissan had a voluntary recall campaign on the 2002,2005,2006 Altima's with the 2.5 litre engines It envolves reprogramming the ECM.
The campaign ID # RD0712 NHTSA #: 07V-527
2005 Altima Vin's 1N4AL11**5C 100003-957025
1N4AL11**5N 400000-934180

The symptom you have described fits the one they have describe in the bulletin. Check with Nissan and see if your car falls within the campaign. Let men know how you do.

sounds like your thermostat may be stuck shut, blocking the flow of coolant through your engine block. it cools down again because of the cool air coming through the rad.

sounds like dirty fuel filter or failing fuel pump.

SOURCE: 1998 nissan sentra lost pick up speed and is jerking

first remove your map sensor and clean it with carburetor cleaner let it soak for a few hours and then reinstall it sometimes they get dirt or carbon build up and the pcm cant tell how much fuel to send

well start with new spark plugs wires distributor cap and rotor and fuel filter basic tune up or a coil instead of cap and rotor if so equipt


if that dont work crankshaft postion sensor or cam postion sensor and check fuel pressrue

ps you can check your coil cap and rotor by pulling out a spark plug plug it back into spark plug wire and have someone try to start car if spark is blue in all plugs your good any orange spark is a faulty coil and or cap and rotor


if it helps you please send thumbs up review my way
