I have a 1998 Nissan Sentra which hesitates while starting. The car has approximately 71,000 miles. The car's engine seems weak like it wants to shut off. The problem goes away when I accelerate it. Soon after the first incident the check engine light came on.

I have a 1998 Nissan Sentra with 70,000 miles. The check engine light was on. I took the car to Autozone to get the codes read. The codes the car had was P0450 and P1446. Lately the car is having trouble starting and while at the gas station, the gas attendant had problems pumping the fuel. What can this all mean?
