i dont know where to begin or what i’m talking about probabily,, but
my car when it rains out starts to stall on me,, well i tuned it up,
and then it started working again in the rain,, well now it seems like
it’s back after only a few weeks. it hasnt stalled it only wants too,
but it stays running,,, now when i fill my gas tank up, some gas will
leak out.. me an my dad were thinking could water be getting in there?
i don’t know, its not fun right now... thanks

remove any and all aftermarket ignition parts
i.e
distributor car
rotor
plug wires
if the spark plugs are not NGK they need replacing too

Then you need to go buy factory Nissan OEM parts.

To fix the fuel leak you need to buy the rubber vent hose that connects the
filler neck to the tank, this is a common problem on older Max;s

If they are the bosch "platium" type, that's your problem. Get some NGK
plugs and you'll be fine
