Nissan Repair: 2003 Nissan Altima Engine Shut-Down, 2003 nissan altima, nissan altima
QuestionVon, I have a 2003 Nissan Altima V6 with 30,060 miles. My acceleration is sometimes sluggish and at times the engine just shuts off. I'm usually able to restart it with a little struggle and it'll dive OK until it decides to shut down again. Nothing electical seems to be affected. I'll come clean -- I use the "cheap" gas and not the recommended premium. Could this be causing it? Any thoughts? Thanks!
AnswerJason,
Put in a tank of high test fuel and a bottle of STP gas treatment and see how it does. On a 2003 there is little else that can go wrong but the injectors getting plugged up. There is no filter in the tank as they only use a nylon sock. So, there is a big possibility of trash getting into the injectors. Check it out and email me back if you still have problems.
