How long has your 2009 Nissan Altima had this problem?
Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Sounds like your Altima has a case of the post-motor-mount blues! When messing with engine mounts, the engine can shift slightly, which might have stressed or even cracked something in the exhaust system, causing that loud noise. Also, the sputtering and dying could mean that something like a sensor or hose got knocked loose—possibly a mass air flow sensor or vacuum hose. I'd double-check all your connections and look for any exhaust leaks near the engine bay. The shifting could also point to an issue with the transmission mount being out of alignment.
