Did you replace the fuel filter?
A bad distributor will cause stalling in all cars, not just maximas But there alot of other things that can cause stalling to dirty fuel filter - electrical short - dirty injectors - etc. Have a mechanic put it on a diagnostic machine before you invest in a distributor.
Water in the distributor cap (assuming it's old).
The distributor cap is important to the performance of the car's engine. Some symptoms of a bad distributor cap are stalling, backfiring, shaking, and a high pitched squealing noise.
It can if its dirty enough. Spend ten bucks and replace it to see if your stalling goes away. Replaced mine today and its purrin.
Air in the fuel line?? There is a filter in your tank that may need to be replaced.
A distributor cap on a vehicle might be bad if the car is shaking more than normal. Other signs include stalling after the car has been running, squealing and rpm's running high.
check throttle plate builds up with carbon
bad ignition switch. had the same problem until I replaced it.
I have to answer this myself. I had a diagnostic test at a Dodge dealership. It took them a long time to find the fault, but it was in the distributor itself. Rather than pay 800 dollars, I got an auto wrecker employee to get a used distributor and he replaced it for only 120 dollars including parts and labor. Now my Colt doesn't stall anymore.
You might own a Daimler-Chrysler product. Consider cleaning (the inside of) the throttle body.
Idle air control? Fuel pump? Coil?
As strange as it may sound, If your battery is old and getting weak, it can cause that stalling problem with the Dakotas. Your IAC may also need to be cleaned/replaced. Good luck ........
