my car turn off when I press on the gas pedal, not sure whats going on, its not the battery, or starter, and it has gas.

 

so everytime you touch the gas pedal, it stalls? liek it will start fine, but then you cant drive it?

if its a newer maxima, it wont have a clutch...i dont know about the maximas there, but here, the newest ones are offered in a manual trans.

 

Im sorry I think Ive made a mistake I asked in the class for the transulatin of koppeling hmm maybe they were wrong I thought the clutch was the peddal left next to the brake (not the gas ej )

yes, the clutch is the pedal which allows you to change gears.

 

hi there, i am new to the forum; an have the same problem[:@]; or almost the same problem; here is my problem in more details; hopefully you guys will figure out what is wrong with my car;

firstley; my can is maxima Qx 1996 model; when i turn the engine on; it turns on; and drives well (oh yeah; it is automatic by the way); but sometimes; in 2-3 days; it stalls; it does this; when i stop in traffic lights[:@]; or in traffic jams[:'(]; it just suddenley goes off[>:]; and when i try to switch it back on; it takes many tries before it goes on again; so you can picture the embarresement/fear/disgust[] that i experience when that happens;

i took it to the mechanics; he checked everything inside out; and he goes nothing is wrong with the car[:-]; so i gave him two days to drive the car about to see if it stalls on him; and yup after about 2 days; he called me up; and he said it did the same thing to him; he said it might be the keys; as i have 2 keys for the car in the key ring; he said; it might be on of the keys is interferring with the other; as there is a chip inside each key; so he took one of the keys and put it in the boot; and he is testing it now as we speak to see if the problem is still happening; so what do you think guys it is?
p.s. sorry for the long message, and i think my problem is the same as the person who started this topic.
THANK YOU; YOUR HELP IS truley APPRECIATED
best regards
