Topic starter

I have an 02 Maxima SE, manual, 257k miles that has been stalling randomly and frequently on me while driving or sitting at idle. In the past year I've  put new MAF, Throttle Body, coils and plugs, PCV, Cam and Crank sensors, fuel pump and sending unit, and now I am stumped.... any help on what it could be?

Have you already load tested the alternator & battery?


Yes, the battery was also replaced this last year, alternator within the last 2y, both were tested about 4weeks ago and good

Have you pressure test the fuel line?


That is on my to do list, but unfortunately this car doesn't have a Schrader Valve Tomales it easy.


That is on my to do list, but unfortunately this car doesn't have a Schrader Valve to make it easy. And I'll be redoing an OBD2 reading later today, only codes right now is P0300 (curse of all vehicles)

My 2000 has 2 crankshaft position sensors, I think yours does too. Did you replace both? Did you use OEM sensors for camshaft and crankshaft? Nissans are damn finicky. Any codes?


The 5.5gens only have 1 crank sensor... and yes they are Hitachi OEM


Mine has misfired in the past due to using Bosch plugs instead of NGK and due to the coils. Last go round I had to replace the coils after only 9000 miles. I bought the new set at AutoZone because they have a lifetime warranty. FWIW, my guess is you have an electrical issue. Not very helpful, I know.


Yeah mine was suffering from p0300 and lack of power for a while, especially in the 3k rpm range, then just miraculously fixed itself.... still not max power like it used too... but no misfires.


I have about the same miles on mine. Had it since 2002. Use it as daily driver. Guess we got our money's worth.
