Hi all, I hope someone can help me. About a year ago my 2000 maxima began to stall intermittantly after the engine warmed up at idle. No check engine light ever came on. I took it to the dealer and they fiddled around with it and found nothing even though it stalled for them a couple of times. Additionally, when they gave my car back to me the electronics that control the door locks and a few other things was mysteriously broken. They refused to take responsibility and fearing more 500 dollar errors, I took it elsewhere. The new mechanic never did discover the underlying problem. I gave it some fuel injector cleaner and the problem went away. Almost a year later, the problem has returned, and this time the fuel injector cleaner didn't work. Here's the information I've been able to gather. The car stalls at idle, usually when in drive or reverse as I come to a stop at a stoplight or change gears to back out of somewhere. It seems to do it more often when it has less than a half tank of gas. It occasionally stalls in park, but usually only after it has already stalled once. I was reading the posts about the 97 maxima that was doing the same thing, but this Niss Tech never gave a verdict. I'm afraid to take my car back to the dealer because they'll probably break some other $500 thing that I have to pay to fix. I'm on the verge of making a desperate plea to the car talk guys. Any thoughts? Chegwidden
