blown motor
If you lost power while driving it could be the alternator. Its not charging your batter anymore
I had a 1990 nissan maxima that use to do that and the problem was my rack and pinion bushings were bad
Check battery cables/connections.
you probably need a new alternator
Sound like either your timing is off or you need a new motor mount
Your throttle valve switch (position sensor) is bad and need to be replaced.....this is located on the side of the throttle chamber. You can get this from Advance Auto for $60 and is easy to replace...
The maxima is a 3.0L while the altima is only a 2.4L. While the maxima only has 5-10 more horsepower, its extra cubic inches goes more twords torque. I would say maxima hands down. I personally have a 92 maxima, and it is not at all slow.
your battery will make a big spark or your battery could blow up.
A faulty camshaft can cause your 1991 Nissan Maxima to idle erratically. A diagnostic test could verify the cause of the improper idling speed.
what makes a 1991 Nissan 240sx stop while you drive. and it is not out of gas or oil. Could it be the ignition module
A bad exhaust will cause gas fumes to get inside the Nissan Maxima while it is idling. Gas fumes, if contained in an enclosed space, is dangerous.
This could mean your pump bearings are going bad.
