02 sentra, idling and cutting out problems
My 02 Sentra has begun surging during idle, varying from about 600 to 1800 RPM while sitting there and idling. It also has a problem misfiring/cutting out while trying to maintail a steady speed, especially when it has to do a little pulling up a hill. It will take off if I floor it, after a couple/few coughs and sputters. Any ideas?

read the codes! that will give you some clues. offhand, it sounds like MAF sensor.

My code reader is not giving me any codes yet the check ingine light is on. That is why I thought I should try this forum.
Thanks, I will try to check the MAF. Any other ideas out there? |

How old are your spark plugs ?

Spark plugs are brand new.

Can you tell if the engine is running rich or lean? If it's rich, you should be able to smell it in the exhaust. You can also look at your spark plugs to tell.
The MAF's are notorious for going out. I'm on my third with my Sentra. |
