to me, sounds like it might be a crank position sensor. In fact, I believe there was a recall issued for them some time back.
just go to a respectable garage. even if you need new exaust, it can probably be done for a couple hundred.
Need to solve this, since otherwise the car is running great.

Any suggestions???
Does anyone have a maintenance/repair/shop manual for the 2008 Altima that can tell me what the parts is that I need to order (other than the panel which I just bought which is part 96302-JB15E)
Thanks,

My drivers side power seat control wont work. I can still move forward and backwards and slant. The control that lowers and raises the legs and buttocks is not working.
Is it a fuse thing? Is it a DO-IT-YOURSELF thing I can fix?
Thanks

1. Did they put in a new pressure plate, new throw out bearing and resurface the flywheel?
2. Is the clutch release mechanisim adjusted properly? Is the clutch verified to be releasing properly?
If the clutch is not releasing properly, it can cause the gears to not engage.
Thanks again! By the way, it worked after second try.
I was looking at 2007s but did not like what I read about recalls and the CVT.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN.
This problem is a design problem and Nissan should pay for all repairs. In most cases nothing the owner did contributed to this manufacturer defect.
I plan to check the plug wires. Any suggestions?
I just recently gave back my Infiniti G35 due to getting older and getting engaged so saving money right now is a smart thing to do so I picked up an 06 altima special addition from someone on craigslist.
The car runs great and only has 33k miles on it and I just got a new battery and tires which I already new before I got the car.
Anyway, the owner advised me about the driver side window not closing automatically due to a security glitch all nissans and infiniti has. I had the same problem with my Infiniti but the fix was different than it is with the altima.
Basically when i close my window with the "one touch up " push of the button the window goes all the way to the top and then back down about 4 inches as a security measure as if there is something in the window. I believe there is a switch to turn that off under the door panel but I want to make sure before I do this myself. The car is no longet under the warranty and the dealership will prob charge me 50bucks or so so I fiugre I can just do it myself. If anyone here knows the fix please let me know . Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the service.
I all started on one fine day when my car started shaking and smoke started coming out of the engine. I took it to a mechanic and he said my Distributor is gone. I got it replaced.
Then after couple of days the engine got cut off while I was trying to stop my car for a red light. But started again. I googled it and read somewhere that it might be a knock sensor problem and we can easily start it back easily after the engine shuts off. Then one day it stopped again and this time it did not start again. I could also smell some gas inside my car. I have to get it towed. Then after a couple of days it started. It stopped again and again I have to get it towed and again it started after a couple of days.
Yesterday I took it to a mechanic and he said he could not check anything if the car was running and could only help me if it stops and doesn't start again. So I took it to a Nissan Service center. He looked it up and told me that the Battery Positive Terminal was not properly cleaned and that's what is causing the engine to shutoff.
But this morning it stopped again at the signal.
I am fed with spending all my earnings to the towing company. Even Nissan Service Center could not help me.
Please tell me a possible reason for this so that I could get it fixed one last time.
