Asked by Dominic Jun 10, 2017 at 09:31 PM about the 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The car seems to only do this when it is hot. Car
well drive for a few 100 miles of less and slow
down to a slow creep. Ran a check on the battery
and alternator both check out fine but car will die
and will not start as if battery is dead.
Would get a professional scanner reading for this one. Could be anything from a crank sensor to a fuel related issue. Some somewhat easy things to check are vacuum leaks and inspecting/cleaning throttle body.
