Hello All

My 1995 Nissan Altima, might I add up this this point was in perfect
running condition. A month ago the car started stalling first when at a
stop, now the idle is very rough and the engine cuts off when accelerating
from a stop. This always happens when I first strat and drive the car for
the day, thereafter the problem is not so obvious.

My mechanic had a look at the car and suggested spraying carb cleaner into
the throttle body, this helped for about a month. I sprayed the carb
cleaner and then the car was running smoothly for 5 days. Then the problem
will come back, at a stop the car will start to idle rough then switch
off, then sometimes it will idle ok, but when I start to accelerate it
will cut off. So I started using fuel cleaner and replaced the plugs and
checked spark plug wires and distributor cap. No problems with any of
these. Checked the hoses no problems. Eventually took this car into the
Nissan dealer to have it diagnosed.

They suggest that the spark plug wires, plugs and the valve cover be
changed. Also that the 4 motor mounts be changed(non-related)...

I am trying to understand why the carb cleaner works and if the dealer
suggestion is valid or if there could be a deeper problem.

Any help will be appreciated.
