Nissan Pathfinder engine stalls randomly, previously resolved by replacing MAF sensor after intermittent issues on Nissan Pathfinder

Some Nissan Pathfinder owners report experiencing random engine stalling, which can be frustrating and potentially dangerous. Common causes of this issue include fuel system problems, ignition issues, and faulty sensors like the MAF sensor. Symptoms may manifest as sudden engine stalls while driving, resulting in a loss of power to critical systems such as brakes and steering, as well as difficulty restarting the engine, which may require multiple attempts and a waiting period of 5-10 minutes. Diagnostic steps such as testing the resistance of the coolant sensor and MAF wiring, as well as checking components like the EVAP canister purge control solenoid, can help identify the root cause. To prevent stalling, regular maintenance, including cleaning the throttle body and replacing the fuel pump and oxygen sensor, is recommended. If the stalling persists, consulting a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection is advisable.
