Starts but does not accelerate
Nissan Almera 2007 138000 miles
Good afternoon, I have a Nissan Almera 2007, which starts but does not accelerate. The first failure that appeared and was detected by the scanner was a crankshaft sensor damage. It was replaced together with a coil that was failing too. The car worked properly for some days, until the engine started vibrating and losing power. This got worse with time and, today, it does not accelerate nor work properly any longer. I've checked the rear stop lights and they are working. When changing the gear to reverse the car, it usually stalls.

According to my mechanic, the car stalls either when the reverse lights are failing or when there is a damaged sensor in the reverse box. I had your same problem and, in my case, it was a failure in the reverse lights.

CommentPower loss when accelerating
Nissan Almera 2005 115000 miles
My car does not accelerate, it loses power instead. It has been checked with three different scanners but no failure was indicated. I've checked the fuel pressure and it is 48 pounds. I've changed the positions of the camshaft and crankshaft sensors as they are the same, I've cleaned the injectors, the throttle body, the MAF sensor, but the car is still the same. Has anyone had this problem? I have my doubts with the VVT valve as, if it fails, it is not detected by the ECU and it affects the engine time and performance.

Hi, if you are still with the problem, check that the 3 of the stop lights are working, as the car loses power if one of them fails. Hope it helps and good luck.
I spent a whole day trying to find this fault and it turned out to be both brake light bulbs. Never in my 35 years as a technician have i seen this problem without a fault code. Massive Thanks to you.
I've changed the MAF sensor for a Sentra one and the power loss problem was solved. You can try replacing yours with a Sentra or an Altima sensor, good luck.
My Nissan Almera just stop while running they said maybe it can be an air flow sensor okay they said I must not close petrol cap so it works it means the car doesn't brethren so I guess I need to clean up my throttle body
CommentCheck indicator
Nissan Almera 2001 185000 miles
My car jerks, the check indicator is turned on and the revolutions needle is unstable. Both the crankshaft and camshaft sensors have been replaced, but the failure remains and it keeps indicating there is a problem with the crankshaft sensor. I do not know what else to do, can you help me please? Thank you in advance.

The computer is not recognizing the new sensor. You need to install it with a good scanner.
Hi, we have the same problem with our Nissan Almera 2006. The computer shows cam sensor but we replaced it and the car still drops when its started. Computer show same prob.
