Nissan Repair: 96 Nissan Maxima Dies on Me, nissan maxima, leaky injector

Question
For the last week my 96 Nissan Maxima has been dying on me while I am driving. It also does a jerk like pull when i am driving sometimes. Seems like it does it mainly when my foot is not on the gas but it did die on me on today when I was driving on the freeway. It took about 6 times for me to get the car started again.

Answer
Rebecca,

When was the last time the car was tuned?  That is, when were sparkplugs installed.  It sounds like a coil or a plug is misfiring and that is causing the car to die.  Also, have the fuel pressure checked for proper pressure and to see if the pressure drops really fast when the key is turned off.  If it does you have a leaky injector or two.  Check it out and email me back.  Also let me know if there are any codes in the comptuer.  Autozone or Checker will read the codes for free.
