Loss of power

Asked by Leak0616 Aug 14, 2019 at 12:00 AM about the 2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8 S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car will be fine and I will be at a light and go to
accelerate and it just idles, it won't do anything..
The battery light & brake light come on but when
Checked it says nothing is wrong. Then the battery
will completely die. I've been thru multiple
batteries, changed the alternator, the throttle body,
and still keeps happening. I literally have to always
charge my battery.

Sounds to me like your TPS(Throttle position sensor) has a severe shortage. Check it out and unplug it right after disconnecting your ground battery terminal for ten min. Since it will be unplugged when ya hook ya battery up it should make it run a hell of a lot bettr and bring a stop to your problems. But be sure to replace it or either find the possible shortage in wiring going to TPS. H
