This is a problem with the speedometer, not with the engine.
Shift to 4-wheel drive on the go and let off accelerator for a few seconds and go back on the accelerator and it will shift in about 5-10 seconds ..
Warm up engine. - Put in neutral (n)! -Make sure everything is off (RADIO, AC, ETC.) -Turn ignition switch ?OFF? and wait at least 10 seconds. -Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ?ON? and wait 3 seconds. -Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds. a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal. b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. -Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking and turned ON. -Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL goes ON. -Start engine and let it idle. -Wait 20 seconds.
A problem with the fuel system. I'm assuming the fuel pump or carburetor/fuel injectors. I had a 1987 Pontiac Firebird that would sputter for a few seconds when you pressed on the gas pedal. Never got it checked though but I assume that would be the problem.
Look up "Idle Re-Learn" for Nissan Sentra. There is a process where the throttle body/Idle Sensor must be re-set. This can be done at the dealer or through a series of steps. Idle Relearn BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE - Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. - Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds. - Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds. a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal. b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. - Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking and turned ON. - Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL goes off. - Start engine and let it idle. - Wait 20 seconds. - Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure that idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.
it sounds like a dead battery recharge and try again
Turn ignition to "ON", slowly press accelerator to the floor three times within five seconds, wait a few seconds and you will hear three tones, the "Change Oil" light will turn off. Turn the ignition to "OFF" and the light will be reset. This didn't work for me...turning ignition to "ON" actually starts the engine. I turned the key to "ACC" position, waited a few seconds then pressed the accelerator to the floor three times. A few seconds later heard the three tones and the sensor was reset...... (For some reason, oil lights in some cars are reset with odd steps like these. Do a google search for "reset oil light gas pedal" and you will see it's quite common.)
AnswerI have a Titan and you cannot reset the computer by diconnecting the battery. It must be taken to the Nissan dealer and have it cleared.*edit:ECU ResettingTiming is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specifird time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second hand will be useful.Operations Procedures:1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch "ON" and wait 3 seconds.2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking).5. Wait 10 seconds.6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold for more than 10 seconds.7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).8. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is extremely critical for resetting the ECU.Accelerator Pedal Release Position LearningOperation Procedure:1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released.2. Turn ignition switch "ON" and wait at least 2 seconds.3. Turn ignition switch "OFF" wait at least 10 seconds.4. Turn ignition switch "ON" and wait at least 2 seconds.5. Turn ignition switch "OFF" wait at least 10 seconds.Throttle Valve Closed Position LearningOperation Procedures:1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.2. Turn ignition switch is "ON."3. Turn ignition switch is "OFF" wait at least 10 seconds.Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning)Operation Procedures:1. Perform "Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning."2. Perform "Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning."3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.4. Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds.5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch "ON" and wait 3 seconds.6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD)7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON.9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON.10. Start engine and let it idle.11. Wait 20 seconds.12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

Hi I bought a Ford Fiesta Encore which and a similar problem. I was going to call it KIT 'cause it has a mind of its own. Not only did it rev when I took my foot off the accelerator it could travel along the road at at least 30 mph and picked up speed going down hill. All I had to do was cover my break. When I stopped at a junction it revved even faster when I put my clutch in. I took it back to the dealer who said that they had had a Ka with a similar problem caused by dirt on a sensor and he sent me down to his mechanic. A quick spay of WD40 on what I think he called the accelerator sensor worked a treat. It has behaved its self ever since. It took seconds to solve the problem
If you lose the picture after 20 seconds but still see the raster, there's probably a problem in the tuning circuit. And nothing you can fix. You've got a lemon. Hopefully, it's still under warranty.
