Hi folks, my wife has a 97 Nissan Maxima that is acting weird! It is sputtering, jerking kinda when coming too a stop, accelerating, on cruise and at idle. The thing is, it dosen't do it all the time! It will do fine on her way to work but act up on her way home. It will go a day or 2 with no issue only 2 start acting up again... I have changed the plugs and wires, dist cap, ect... I have been trying to get info on her car from youtube and I even joined a Maxima Forum trying 2 figure this out. If anyone has advice send it my way please, thanks...

 

Have you checked fuel levels?

 

No, not yet...

 

Sounds like a pump going out, or a bad filter starting to get clogged maybe?

 

I am going 2 try cleaning the Throttle Body and the Mass Airflow Sensor... I seen it on youtube so fingers crossed! Also that Nissan Maxima Forum dosen't help lol, I haven't even gotten 1 reply from anyone there That's why I love this Forum lol!

 

I cleaned the Throttle Body and the Mass Air Flow Sensor and she is purring like a kitten now
