2013 Altima

Manual.
140,000 miles. 
Seems to run smooth.. only stalls randomly while driving. Even when accelerating. Will typically start right back up but then will stall again. Gets shorter and shorter in between stalls and then will start but immediately stalls until it sits for a while and will repeat same scenario. 
Air flow sensor replaced. Didn’t work. I guess it’s possible it was a bad part. 
Lots of opinions from transmission, to fuel pump, cam ? sensor etc. Nissan admits to this issue.. related to heat though. Said to reset computer in that case. It’s definitely not hot.  

I don’t have codes. Descriptions only. 
•Battery Voltage
•Engine signal 1
•Abnormal vacuum sensory source voltage

•PNP position signal

•Logical monitor of vacuum sensor to pressure sensor. 

Ignition voltage low
Another low voltage code.. but I’m assuming some of these are “history” codes.

First five listed are most current.

If the battery is shot that can cause all kinds of problems. Load test the battery and alternator.


Battery was replaced not too long ago. Will check alternator. Thanks for your response!


If alternator is bad it could have killed the battery, or battery could have been defective (not unusual). Might not be the problem but is low-hanging fruit easy to check.

Try what Chuck said first.  If that does not fix it and if you have a scan tool to support this, it would be nice to hook up a scan tool and record the engine data parameters while you are driving, and then play back the recording and look for any anomalies (when plotted as graphs) when it stalls.  That could give more clues as to what is happening.
