Engine Performance problem
1994 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Automatic 270,00 miles

my car stops on me while i'm driving and then starts right back up. Now it just stopped... it acts like it wants to star but it won't. I don't know if it's the fuel injectors the coil pack the fuel pump or just the fuel filter.. what do I do?

Get a starting fluid/ether/better off gas in a spray bottle and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
