Nissan Repair: 2001 maxima, vacuum leak, hoses


Question
My car does not idle. It starts but unless i push the throttle in it turn off on its own. The tank is full and is good gasoline.Other than that the car runs fine.

Answer
Hi Rafael -

First thing I would do is look for a vacuum leak. While the engine is running (throttle in), spray some carburetor cleaner on various vacuum connections (hoses, fittings, manifold connections, etc). When the idle improves, you have found the leak area.

Hope this helps -
