Good Morning Family:

I am experiencing some hesitation when I accelerate on the gas pedal its almost like the car gets stuck for a second or so and then its ok. Can anyone tell me the problem I am experiencing.

Thank you for your response.

Good morning,

First, what year/model and transmission?

I'm assuming its 2007+ 2.5/3.5 with CVT? If so, check out this link..

Hmm, It can be normal because there is delay in every fuel injection car I've ever owned.

Not quite sure about this one. Anyone else?

Hey DJ:

It almost seems as if I am not pressing on the pedal hard enough to get it going because once I put my foot on the pedal than its ok. I guess I have never really paid any attention before and noticed the noise and the hesitation while driving without my radio on. So, I've been in panic mode about the situation. Plus, when I drive over a bump or something it feels like the car is about to fall apart. Do I need shocks or something?

Get the throtle body cleaned. when you do, you will have to go through a idle relearn, and intake air relearn procedure. If you neglect to do the relearns the car will idle higher than normal and the ck engine light will come on.

Could be a bad MAF sensor. Do you have an aftermarket intake? It's a really common problem on the Maximas.

Have the timing checked.

have your air fuel alpha percentages checked with the consult II (from dealership or nissan shop) they should be around 100-110% at idle. if they are out of range, try to clean afm, if that doesnt clear it you will have to replace the afm.

You don't want to clean the throttle body on these cars. It's a "fly by wire" system and will mess up the calibration. You will then have to replace the throttle body.

If you have the altima 3.5 its mostly likely the catalytic converter. I installed the OBX headers/downpipe and i got all the power back.

its your catalytic converter, just upgrade to obx headers and that will solve your problem.

i had a similiar prblem with a kia, it would like stutter when you started accelerating, I replaced the spark plugs and it solved the problem believe it or not. Try it, its not expensive and it could be the problem
