Hi,
I have a 2001 Nissan Altima GXE, 55,XXX miles.
Few days back the car used to die out at stop sign or traffic light and soon after SES Light came on. Went to a mechanic, got it diagnosed and found out that it was an intake manifold gasket leak. Spent 600$ fixing this problem. Heard that this is a pretty common problem.
However, this problem came back again. The car dies out in R or D mode when stopped or low speeds. And when the SES light comes back ON, it just goes into this limp mode where it shakes while driving, chokes etc. The mechanic has checked MAF sensor but there is nothing wrong with it.
Does anyone know what the problem is ? How can I fix this ? This is really turning out to be irritating especially since THE SES light turns ON and car limps and is not drivable.
Thanks!
