I think it's the Crank Angle Sensor. I thought it was the fuel pump so I replaced it on Thursday and then on the way home today the car just stopped running and wouldn't start and the RAA man said he's pretty sure it's the Crank Angle Sensor. If the car stalls pour cold water over the Crank Angle Sensor and the car should start with no problems. I'm going to go get a scan on my laser tomorrow to confirm the problem and get a price on the sensor.....
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.
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 ........
No.
You need to have the codes read. You can then diagnose the codes. The code will probably point to the cause of the stalling.
There are two main systems that may be responsible for stalling. It may be a problem with the electrical system or the fuel system. A third option is the battery.
check your alternator
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.
Yes, if it's clogged up.
there seems to be a short in the electrical system, i would start by checking the heater switch,
check throttle plate builds up with carbon
bad ignition switch. had the same problem until I replaced it.
