My 1997 nissan maxima (160k miles) stalls as soon as I put it in 'drive'. It starts up just fine, however, if I leave it in neutral and rev the engine a bit(up to 2k rpm) it begins to lose revs. It only stalls some of the time when I put it in reverse. These problems began immediately after I had the oil changed but I don't know if these problems are a result of something the mechanics bumped or unplugged while under the hood.
The car began losing revs on the drive home from the oil change shop and stalled outright a couple of times as I accelerated from a stop. I made it home but now I can't get the car to move 2 ft. without stalling out completely. I first though it may have been the 5+ year old battery and replaced that to no avail...
Any suggestions?
Check your air horn (big rubber boot) to the throttle body. It may have a crack on the underside and when you put it in drive and the engine torques to that side the crack opens and causes it to die.
Sounds like fuel or could be vacum line off.to lose power with on load sounds like a lack of fuel. did you change the fuel filter?
