I own a 2001 altima it started idleing very rough rpm's ranging from 750 to 500 ish and the a intermitent stall/all while at a complete stop only.As soon as i step on the gas my problems go away.Auto zone hooked it up to there diagnostic comp. and said I needed a o2 sensor and had multi. cylinder misfires.I got a $160 dollar sensor from nissan and it still runs like s#@t.New plugs didnt help either and the wires look good......please help me...thanks

The factory wires could cause problems like this but they would all or the majority of them would be out of tolerance. Try testing them after checking for an intake leak or even run the engine at night while looking under the hood to see if the electricity is arcing or causing the wires to appear to glow.

I live off of W. 20th... I guess sometimes it is a small world after all.

thanks myman :cheers:
The intake manifold gasket doesn't necessarily have to be the problem it may be something as simple as a vacuum hose. Also I would still check the plug wires with an ohmmeter.

If worse comes to worse I can make arrangements to take a look at it myself by travelling to the Springs...

I could go the Golden?

If you tell me when it's good for you I could drive to Golden,the car runs great as long as you step on the gas.
Well I should be available next weekend if that would work for you. I have three cars to do this weekend (one Nissan) but let me know how next week works for you.

That would work,Sun afternoon is best,but what ever works for you.A shop told me about 400 for the intake gasket...is that alot to do that job?
That is not a bad price for an intake manifold gasket... if that is what is wrong. Has somebody confirmed this is the actual problem?

I looked at the forecast and it going to be cold (44 degrees) and raining on Sunday afternoon so maybe I could do something later this week by driving down there.
