Good morning Scotty, I have a 2010 nissan pathfinder 4.0 V6 2WD with 53,962 miles this morning as I make my way back home from church my car stalled on me and the service engine soon light came on I plugged in my scanner and it doesn't say anything, I checked the basics fuel pump, fuel filter, the air intake filter, fuel injectors, spark plugs are working fine since this car doesn't have too many miles, crankshaft positioning sensor was also replaced last year, no vacumm leaks and the throttle is clean. I tried premium gas just for the sake of it and it's still stalling.

Did you pressure test the fuel line? Also, check for vacuum leak. 


I did check for vacuum leaks and the fuel line isn't clogged


So it idles fine but when you want to drive it, it stalls. Correct?


It stalled at park as I was getting ready to leave, I restarted the car and putted it in drive and it died as well in idle but no problems once accelerating


Clean the throttle body and MAF sensor.


Just did that and still stalling


Remove the MAF sensor and see what happens.


The maf sensor is now removed and it is hesitating under 500rpm like no tomorrow i can feel it and continues to stall


This is a weird issue I had this problem before back in January 2020 and now it came back,the problem last year was the fuel pump and the crankshaft position sensor, when that sensor failed I had a mechanic use live data he told me to steer all the way to left or right and the main computer shutted off the fuel injectors as I was turning at the same time, I don't understand how turning your steering wheel makes the car add more fuel. This time I don't what It could be because those two parts are replaced brand new.


Apparently, you have the fuel issue. For some reason, the engine does not get enough fuel. Try this: use starter fluid to see if you can run the engine and rev it up.

See a mechanic or run a diagnostic on the vehicle with a high end scan tool to find the source of the trouble light.

With over 50K on it I would start with the basics and replace the spark plugs first.


This morning i decided to take off the spark plugs only one had a little bit of carbon, I replaced all of them anyway and still stalls But unfortunately now when I start the car now my SES and battery light came on at the same time. I recently installed a premium battery last year. The status still shows the battery is in very good condition, all the connectors are tightened and free of corrosion, my starters still good. I hope it's not my alternator going out.
