Nissan Repair: 99 Maxima Bucking/Jerking, oxygen sensors, coil pack


Question
This a long distance question. My mom's 99 Maxima, Auto w/99k miles bucks or surges when in drive at a stop light. When brake is released and vehicle accelerated, the problem seems to vanish. A local shop(she's 2000 miles from me) has replaced the plugs, and one coil pack they said was bad. The problem persists. She's afraid to drive long distance for fear of breakdown. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Answer
Jeffrey,

I would have all the coils replaced first.  I would have the codes read and replace the oxygen sensors too.  After that the car should be fine.  Email me back if there are codes present.  Autozone or Checker will check the engine codes for free.
