It could possibly be a bad Idle Air Control valve. It is located on the back side of the motor, just beneath the intake manifold on the passenger side. Or it could be the Inlet Air Temperature sensor located on the air filter to throtle body duct.
something wrong on the engine get it chek for any codes
I am having the same problem with a 1998 Nissan Altima. The engine runs fine at idle. When you press the gas the car stalls out. I'm down to replacing the gas pump in hopes of fixing this problem.
There are pages of things that will turn the check engine light on. You need to have it checked for codes.
starting with the redesigned 1998 altima the engine crankshaft was balanced much better to reduce vibration. we have a 1993 and a 1999 altima with the same engine and the 1999 is so smooth at idle i sometimes can't tell if it's running.
Use an automotive computer code-scanner to read the stored code. Then you'll know why the "check engine" light is on.
One way would be for the check engine light to illuminate and spit out a code P0300 for a random misfire.
Bad sensor have it checked. Depending on the sensor you won't have any real problems for a while
In my 2001 Nissan Altima, my oil filter is located on the side of the engine closest to the interior cabin. In addition, it is on the passenger side of the car. Probably close to where the glove compartment would be. It is very hard to see and you will have to be underneath the vehicle. Also, the oil filter is kinda small.
There is no error code PO329 for a Nissan Altima. The closest codes for this would be P0335 which is the CKP Sensor or P0340 which is the CMP Sensor, Detectable Or Undetectable Circuit.
You can find a 97 Nissan Altima alternator schematic diagram in the vehicle's owner's manual. You can also check local auto part stores.
