Asked by robert Mar 04, 2018 at 02:19 PM about the 1996 Nissan Maxima SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Nissan shits off while driving not while at driving
speeds thank god but when I slow down to a stop sign or
a red light it’s sputters and stalls out. And sometimes it
gives a hard time starting have to turn the key multiple
times to get it to start up the shut off also happens after I
let it idle for about 10 mins  I’ve just changed the battery
and have check engine light on , the codes are reason for
egr valve, knock sensor and something else, but before I
go and drown money in this thing has anyone had similar
issues and what have you done to correct it?

Had a few issues actually, but it turned out to be the mass air flow sensor I changed that and haven’t had that issue since
