It moves sluggishly and stop while in motion . But when you crank the engine afterfew minutes, it comes back tlife & still repeat same at intervals as it moves.At first they said it was the distribution head which was changed & it started moving a little bit faster than before. But still stop.So they are suggesting the ignition which is far from being fuel filter also. Kindly advise me on what to do next in order to achieve the much desired success. Thanks & remain Blessed always.

Good evening guy, the xterra is actually 2002 with 187282 as the mileage. If you you throttle it; It won't accelerate down & dragging as if blocked. So I decided to diagnose it with the following as the trouble codes (1) PO328, PO101, PO102, PO103, PO118.WHILE PENDING CODES ARE-:PO731, PO328, PO101, PO102, PO103, PO462 Respectfully. What could be the possible course and how do I rectify this issue for the vehicle to accelerate fine and pick like other like others.

I believe your engine should be 3.3 L (VG33ER engine)

P0101, P0102 and P0103 are all trouble codes with the MAF (Mass Air Flow ).
P0118 is a fault code for the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)
P0328 is a fault with the knock sensor.

Erase the codes and after driving around, recheck what codes comes up first.

Pending codes are not relevant presently.
