1995 Nissan Maxima stalls and sputters Sign In
I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima GXE 3.0 V6 180,000 miles. The car will stall at a stop or when preparing to turn as the RPMs drop below 1000. The car will also sputter slightly at 2200 rpms when driving down the highway. It does not do this all the time and it sometimes will go a few days with out this problem. I have replaced ignition coils, idle air control valve, and oxygen sensors. I have also cleaned the mass air flow sensor. I am currently thinking about replacing the mass air flow sensor but know it is a pricey part to do so with.

That's a pretty steep guess if you're wrong. A lot of times cleaning a MAF will make some kind of difference if it's the problem...

I noticed you posted a problem happening at "under 1000 rpms". Normally you should be able to go to 400 or 500 with out the engine dying. I would make sure there isn't any vacuum leaks and the secondary ignition is in good shape....

Is the check engine light on? If so get the codes pulled.....

Cleaning it made no difference but I will try that again. The check engine light is not on. The optimum idle RPM is suppossed to be arounfd 650. It hovers around that before stalling out.

When you redo the MAF get a can of throttle body cleaner and clean the throttle body as well...... get a little brush open up the throttle plate by hand, spray some cleaner down there and clean it real good. Start it every so often so it doesn't flood out. You can even spray some down there while running it & feathering the throttle to keep it running.....

They make special cleaner for the MAF sensors, hopefully you were using that & not carb clean....

That's what I used. I will definately try cleaning the throttle body. Thanks.
