Wtf is wrong with my car...

[isaac_b]

hey guys i was driving to class today everything good. i go to class sit there a hour and leave. get in my car and drive for 3 minutes then i just start to lose power and at 2500rpm it starts to cut back kinda like fuel cut on a turbo car...then on the highway i couldnt even get over 2000rpm and i have a real hard time taking off. just got the car november now im sitting here in nissan waiting to see wtf is up. hopefully i get my car back with no dents or f****** scratches.

got half way through and was about to smack you for not going to a mechanic lol, but ya, that sounds like something a bit beyond the majority of the people on this forum to diagnose =/

[isaac_b]

well i got the warranty so its free lol

[Zerep]

sounds like the ecu is in that illusive limp to dealership mode so what ever it is, it could be bad sound bad. Or it could be you forgot to tighten the gas cap :sigh technology these days

Bro, i got my altima coue in aug 2007 around oct 2008 i started having the same problem.

Stepon the gas and the car hardly moves ( rpm stuck at 2, even flooring it), then all of a sudden rpm shots up, tires spin out and car takes off. Aslo while trying to cruise the rpm would be going up and down constantly.

Good news is that i got a free transmission out of it. Iam in good with a service tech down here and he had it replaced.

Bad news is that the problem comes back now and then, when ever it wants to. Kind of a weird problem let me know what they think. I am also with the ecu being the problem.

The same thing happened to me two days ago. I had it idleing while I put air in the tires. and then I put it in reverse and it cut off to just on mode. Then i put it in park and it turns back on. Whenever I tried to accelerate past 2,000 rpms it would shake violently and not accelerate.

I dropped it off at the dealer that night, the next day they say they can't find any thing wrong with it.

I think there may have been water in my gas tank and it may have froze as cold as it was two days ago 17 degrees F.

Thats the last time I buy gas from sheetz

Same problem guy, that crap happens once in a while where i hit the accelerator and the car doesnt not accelerate it just stays stuck at 2000rpms but eventually it goes away

This happen to me in another car several years ago when the air filter got clogged with something. Not sure if that's the problem since many of you are having the same problem...

well i my hose clamp on my aribox to the intake was broken and had came off while driving. i went to nissan to have them to look at it and sat there a hour and they never got around to it. so it was 5 and the techs leave at 5 so they were gonna give me a free rental but im 19 so i couldnt cause allstate was closed and i couldnt call and get the info i need since im underage. so i went back to nissan and was standing there my car wasent checked out so i decided to look again. i had looked over it twice before and the intake hose was on the airbox. i guess it came on off on the way to nissan. so i got a guy to clear the code and now its fine...sorry guys guess i didnt solve your problems or figure anything out i should have done more that look lol i know this from my bros supra when i was checking for leaks on his intercooler pipes

[coupecrazy1232]

yeah i have the same problem every now and then...i took it and and they said it was fine and that there was nothing they could do...so if u get it fixed and say what was wrong then post it up so i can get that fixed too

[isaac_b]

it might be the same for you guys a vacuum line or sumthing making the car run lean or rich

This happened to me last summer.I just let my car cool down a bit (I was going like 95-100 down the freeway about 25miles) and it was still going on, but about one mile later it was normal again

If water froze in your tank, you'd have a lot different problems than what you're talking about...

i had a simular problem, but my dashboard lights died. car would accelerate very slow even when i was floring it. Took it to the dealer and it turns out to be a blown fuse. dig around in the fuse box mybe this is the case

It could be the "crank sensor"

Sheetz has everything from free air, to made to order food, milkshakes, etc. Just not that good of gas.
