Ok guys, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to my Sentra. This little problem started today.

Me and the wife hopped in on our way to work. Less then six blocks from home at the light the car stalled. The car would turn over but stall out. I told her to wait a few minutes and give it a little gas. The car started up and ran at an idle for about 20 seconds then stalled again.

I waited a few more minutes and the car started up again. I said the heck with it and went down the street to make a u-turn at the median to go home and get my other car.....after all she was gonna be late and I only had to work a couple hours anyway so why mess with it now. I felt the car wanting to stall but as long as I had my foot on the pedal, it was running. I hit the u-turn quick and then the right turn all the way home and when I let my foot off the gas to park, the car stalled. Lucky for me, it had enough momentum to roll itself into my parking space.

Later on today, I started it up again and left it idling and it seemed fine. I put it in neutral to rev the engine and it seemed fine.......then it stalled. I started it up again and it stalled after about 20 seconds. Any ideas?
