I have a 2005 nissan frontier 2 door 5 speed. It has set up for several months without driving. When I tried driving, it started up fine, idled low. At stops and would shut off after. I drove for a few minutes. I could start it back up immediately and the cycle would repeat itself. Could this be old gas, fuel filter?

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.

There is a relay on the rh passenger side kick panel above the automatic transmission module that is controlled by the ECU through the MAF sensor that controls your fuel to the engine so the air / fuel mixture is correct. I fixed a pathfinder one time with a similar stalling problem.

SOURCE: where is the fuel filter 2005 nissan frontier?

Built in the gas tank. It is cleanable. Don't have to buy a new one.

It is built into the pump so if it would have to be replaced then you would have to replace the whole pump. To me thats pretty crappy design.

Crawl under the truck, you should have two or three lines coming off the fuel tank, one will have the filter, one is the return, and one is emissions.

Fuel injected or carb? Make sure fuel line itself is clear. Some pumps are designed to self regulate (carb systems) some continually pump and a psi regulator sends back the excess fuel back to the tank (fuel inj systems) If the line is obstructed then pump can't deliver fuel fulltime.

If you think pump is not on consistent, try running a dedicated wire through a switch directly to the pump. If it works then you are looking for an electrical fault going to pump. Good luck.

SOURCE: car wont start

fuel pressure for you car is 43 psi, might want to check for a weak fuel pump or clogged filter (there are two) one externaly one on the pump, spray brake cleaner in the intake to see if it starts, if it does, then I would change the pump.
