Engine shuts off occasionally while driving

check the fuel pressure with a gauge first, in u.s auto parts rent them . for brakes have them checked for wear might be time or redoing them.

Check engine light came on on Friday and the car shut off. The crank censor was changed it started, but shut off and has not gone pass that since. The diagnostic is not showing any readings.

Check to see if there is a signal from the crank sensor. Chances are there is a broken wire to it or the connection is bad. You will need a real time / live scanner to check for a crank signal. If there is no signal, check wiring or check to make sure the new sensor is good.

Sometimes engine cut out, specially after driving a bumpy road like a gravel road on a farm. But it don't happen on the road only after a few kilometers later when I am driving on the tar road back to town. The ref meter needle drop suddenly up and down, the car pull a few times and engine cut out. Sometimes when I restart it again it starts in the driving and sometimes it refuse to start. I usually pull off the road, ref it a few times and try to restart it again. After 5-10 it restart without any problems further. We already change the clutch kit, electronic board this past year, car did go for a service and previously they said its not the fuel filter

Please run down these guides and diagrams and report back.

i had the same problem. after replacing cam sensor, air flow sensor and idle sensor, it turned out all the junk from the radiator had accumulated inside the throttle body and the idle sensor would overheat and cut the car out, could this be the problem you're having. also, if you have some anti-rust put that inside your radiator to prevent it from happening again.

i have a 2003 nissan almera which had the wrong plugs fitted i have replaced them and now its running rough trying to stall at lights or under load judders when accelerating or slowing down .no warnings and its running too rich any ideas it also started to idle irratic

Check for vacuum leaks
Check for codes
I am not familiar with Almera if have ignition wires check wires

Hello,

I would remove the mass air flow sensor, which is situated on the inlet pipe between the air filter box and inlet manifold, I would remove it from its housing then clean it with engine/brake cleaner, to clean any dust/dirt off and refit. If any better I would replace the mass air flow sensor. It is one of the most common faults and the symptoms you describe fits into a faulty mass air flow.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I just bought the car last month as a second hand now it started to stall while driving as if it cuts fuel. now I do not know what is the problem even the engine light is on. I need help as I am using the car for my work.

Hello,

We must start by running the codes to see which system is failing, here is a guide so you can see what the codes are.
