Hello,

I get error code P2138 when i hooked it up to the code reader. I get service engine lite, traction off , then car stalls and dies. I have to turn it off then on to get it going again. When it happens accelerator dosent work at all, even tried to used tiptronic and still car wont respond. I have to turn it off completely then it starts working fine again. I am driving Maxima 2005 SE.

Thanks!

That error code is for the electronic throttle assembly (specifically "Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Problem"). Looks like the sensor that detects pedal position is somehow loosing calibration. I'd have a dealer check it out.
