Hello, I own a 1996 Nissan maxima that has been randomly dying out on me. The first time it happened I was probably going about 55mph and the car began to surge and then it died out while driving. After I pulled to the side and restarted the car it seemed fine so I decided to chance it home. About 2 miles later it did the same thing going about 35 and I immediately thought it was a fuel pump so I called the tow. It has the problem both while driving and when at idle. The idle is only sporadic when I know it's going to die out but it can idle for 20min before it happens. One time I started it the first time of the day and it immediately died out. I pulled my spark plugs and although there were a little black I didn't see any sort of deposits stuck on them, I replaced them anyway. I have pulled my check engine light codes...P0445 has been causing my check engine light to be on for years it's EVAP Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve. I have never bothered fixing that because charcoal is in the lines and I have to replace several parts and blow out the lines (I don't think this is related to problem) The first time I checked it my new code was for O2sensor bank 1 sensor 1. I cleared the light and checked again. I now have 02 sensor b1s1 and 02 sensor b2s2. Could 02sensor cause it to out? is it the 02 sensor itself or could it be because its running rich/lean? I feel like this could be so many different things but idk where to start. Would a fuel pump slowly start to fail and still work most of the time? I feel that it's fuel related but have not been able to test the pressure. If it was my MAF or my Idle Air control valve wouldn't it throw a code? And I should mention that my car has 325,000 miles on it. I have had to replace several coil packs and fuel injectors and it does not feel like that problem. I'm not even getting a misfire code. My tank is always pressurized. So much to say lol... Any suggestions where to start guys? Don't got much money to throw at. Ty for any help.
