Best Answer

most likely cause is ignition (plugs,wires,dist cap,rotor) If all is good check the connectors on the throttle body for corrosion buildup (especially the 5 pin for the mass airflow sensor) clean corrosion if necessary. Could also be a faulty distributor. Nissan had distributor problems in the early mid 80s models

Where is the vacuum cut valve bypass valve on the 2000 Nissan Sentra?

If it is like my 2001 Nissan Sentra, there is a cover behind the drivers side tire. It bolts on in the front and 2 quills click into the charcoal cannister. The cover comes off and the white plastic piece is the vacuum cut valve bypass valve. Nissan price $140.00-Wilton Nissan. I also did as recommended, and replaced the valve on the cannister, and the solenoid -the bolt on the canister broke as is evidently common. Replace cannister. Whole job (I did the labor) about $600.00

What causes a 97 Nissan altima to cut off when you come to a stop light?

If a 1997 Nissan Altima cuts off at a stop light, there is a problem with the fuel getting to the engine. When you are accelerating, there is pressure and a higher flow of fuel, which is why it won't cut off then. The problem could be a leak in the fuel line, the fuel pump itself, or a fuel filter. It will need to be serviced.
