Nissan Axxess Repair Questions and Answers
 
Question:  1991 Nissan  Axxess 2.4_mileage: 150,000 . I recently purchased a used 1991 Nissan Axxess FWD, 5 speed. The vehicle has this intermittent problem (every 2 days) whereby the vehicle, in every gear, once you reach 2500 rpm's, the car jerks severely and the engine will not go above this rpm. However, shutting the car off and restarting will solve the problem until it returns again. We have changed, mass airflow, vehicle speed sensor, distributor & cap, plugs and wires, rotor, ecm and coil. We have had 3 different mechanics look at the problem and everyone agrees that it is electrical. We desperately want to solve this problem, any suggestions or have you heard of any similar problem?

Answer:  When we read your question two things came to mind. The pick-up coil in the distributor or the alternator is failing. We know what your thinking, the alternator? What maybe happening with the alternator is a diode is "leaking" A.C. (alternating current) into a system that requires D.C. (Direct Current). These "spikes" of A.C. will temporarily shut down electrical components.
