1996 Nissan Maxima General Question

I have 1996 Maxima. It would crank over and start but then die. It has very low idle and sometimes normal. Check engine lite on.

Answers from the Automotive Experts

Dear Gail, Whenever you have a check engine light on it means that there is a sensor in the engine that is not working properly or is getting a bad reading. The best thing to do is to take it to a technician who can put a scan tool on the vehicle and read the codes. Until you know what codes are coming up, you would simply be guessing at the problem. Hope this helps. Lori Johnson
