Nissan Maxima engine shuts off during left turn, restarts after 15 minutes without check engine light on Nissan Maxima

Some Nissan Maxima owners report experiencing engine shutdowns during left turns, which can unexpectedly restart after about 15 minutes without the check engine light illuminating. These issues may stem from fuel system problems, such as a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump that restricts fuel flow to the engine, leading to stalling. Additionally, electrical problems like fluctuating engine temperatures, corrosion, or poor electrical connections could also cause the engine to turn off unexpectedly. Some owners have noted that marginal camshaft or crankshaft position sensors can result in random shutdowns without activating the check engine light. Furthermore, contaminated fuel, including sour gas or gasoline mixed with dirt or water, may lead to engine shutdowns while driving. Other potential contributors to this problem could involve the catalytic converter, O2 sensor, or other engine components. It is recommended that owners seek a thorough inspection of the fuel system, electrical components, and sensors to properly diagnose and resolve these issues.
