I've got an '06 Altima with the 4 cylinder...it's running like crap and stalls
It's getting worse and stalls when running down the road.
I've got 55,000 on it...I didn't want to hear a peep out of this car
till I hit 100,000
Car starts like a champ cold but then dies usually at least once on a short
trip then starts like crap when hot.
I've got the check engine light on and took it by autozone.
Got two codes:
1-Crankshaft position sensor (short circuit/electrical con./ etc)
2-Engine speed signal circuit (short circuit/electrical con./ etc)
I would appreciate opinions...
1-My worry is that since both are showing electrical problems, I wonder if
it's not the sensor or circuit but the main ECU.
2-Crankshaft position sensor I guess is pretty straight foreward if that in
fact is one of the problems.
3-Engine speed signal....circuit...what the heck is that, jus the wire
itself ???
4-Does it sound resonable that these are the only issues and it would manifest
itself in the syptoms I've outlined?
Hate to waste time, effort, and money on chasing things.
Not to mention , seems like the tranny is starting to slip a little.
So my 50,000 3 year warrenty expires and I'm driving a car that has multiple
issues, stalls at any given time, and may have a tranny problem. Another
Nissan is NOT in my future.
I'd trade the bugger but your first few years are mostly interest payments and
a car depreciates faster than you can pay (till you reach the end of the loan)
so...I'm to far over/under and it doesn't quilify the the CARS govt' deal or
we wouldn't be talking about it now.
Any insight would help...thanks

) and the exact problem was
this is a very easy fix! your symptoms fall right in line with her car which altima's are notorious for this problem. this has gradually been a problem for over a year. try this DIY and buy the part at a local auto part store for about $40 ,get a flexible flashlight,10mm socket w/ratchet, and telescopic mini mirror because it's tucked behind the motor and it's hard to see. good luck and let me know if this helped.
