Names_jeff Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 ok, so my car has been acting funny this past week. it's been shutting off on me when idling at a stop light, when on the freeway, the rpms decrease and there is no power for a moment then starts back up and yanks real bad. I went to autozone and used their code diagnostic tool and it told me to change the Camshaft position sensor. so i did and it cost me about 70$. i drove it after installing the new sensor and it shut off on me again and the same lights came up on my dash; TCS off, SLIP and SERVICE ENGINE SOON. No idea what's the problem. If u have an idea, let me know!-Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_stud Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 well however told you to get a camshaft positioning sensor should have their ass kicked that sensor is what tells the distributor when to fire when the camshaft without that sensor your car would not run at all or well, now to answer your question A dirty IAC valve is the cause of a common and well-known stalling problem of the nissan maxima Quote 1998 Nissan 200sx NOW: Dex-p98r head Planet Audio 300.4 mids and highs Planet Audio/Pioneer tweeters/crossovers Skar SK1500.1 3 SKAR Vvx15 dual 4 wired at .63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
