Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 200597 Altima stalling
I have a altima that has about 169,000 miles. Recently it has started to lose power and die. It did it to my husband when he was starting to slow down to make a turn. The car has to be running for a while to get it to stall out. We let it run in our driveway for 45 min before it finally died. When we had a nissan dealer look at it. They said the car was overheating and the distributer was bad. Now the car isn’t "overheating" when it dies on us. We took it to autozone yesterday and the attendant said they didn’t even have to look at it to tell me it was the ignition coil. When the car dies, it does take a little bit of time for it to start back up. But when it does start up. It runs great *for another 45 min - 1 hr*. Does anyone have an ideas? I would be checking the fuel filter... Professor www.telstar-electronics.com > I have a altima that has about 169,000 miles. Recently it has started > to lose power and die.

Does it just all of a sudden stall out after that time? Also, if you leave the lights on, does it stall any sooner or quicker? It wouldn't hurt to check the alternator. > > I have a altima that has about 169,000 miles. Recently it > has started [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > wouldn't > hurt to check the alternator. It does stall out suddenly over time. The first 30-45 min it runs... you can romp on the engine and it performs. Its only after a little while that it studders and dies. Haven’t tried it really with/without the battery drain. Good idea to go check. Thanks! > I have a altima that has about 169,000 miles. Recently it has > started to lose power and die.

Here is what fixed the problem: we replaced the distributor and the seal that it comes with. Not the distributor Cap, but the distributor it self it is a very common problem and the part will cost you close to $200. You can also have someone test you fuel pump, but mine was fine. I hope it helps. > > I have a altima that has about 169,000 miles. Recently it has > > started to lose power and die.
