2004 Nissan Sentra won't stay running

Hello,
i'm trying to figure out why my 2004 nissan sentra won't stay running? it will start up at but once i cut it off or try to drive it will stop. and when i try to start it again it won't until i let it sit for awhile. i just changed the spark plugs and air filter because i thought that was it but i see that it's not.

Thanks

    i start it this morning and let it run but after about 5-10 minutes of just letting it run it just cuts off, even when i tried to drive it after about 30 feet it just stopped. i'll let it sit for about an hour and and start it and it cranks right up, but after about 5-10 minutes of just running it cuts back off again.

    Could be a fuel problem. Will the car sit at idle for a good while on its own without cutting off? Strange as it may sound, even failing to tighten the gas cap on these cars can cause these types of problems. (happened on my wife's 2000 Sentra).

Try the fuel filter...sounds like debris is plugging the screen then when you try to use it , it stalls, the debris falls after a bit and it starts again

    also check fuel pump....the diaphragm might be weak and collapsing when pressure builds up

2004 nissan senta is having trouble when i start it it struggles to idle and will shut off. when i give it gas it just coughs and wont increase rpm my mechanic could not figure it out any suggestions?

my 2003 sentra does the same thing and I have come to learn from other sentra drivers that its just something the sentra does. I have noticed that it will crank right away if you have the air/heat off and you press the break when cranking. Sometimes it even helps to continualsy pump the break to make sure it stay cranked.

Hi there,

Well first i don't think this vehicle is carburated it is fuel injected anyhow may be a vacuum leak check all hoses for cracks or any that are unattached then i would check the idle control valve or(IAC)_may be stuck try spraying throttle cleaner and swabbing out the throttle body

Good Luck!!
thanks

Air Conditioning cutting off and on

On a Fixed Orfice Tube system (FOT) the compressor cycles on and off because there is no other way to regulate the refrigerant. On a Thermal Expansion Valve system (which is what Nissan uses) the compressor stay on because the expansion valve regulates the refrigerant. It is not normal for your compressor to cycle on and off. Check your refrigerant level.
