Nissan Maxima: 96 Maxima SE car sputters at 2000 rpm

    96 Maxima SE car sputters at 2000 rpm

    Car starts fine, idols fine, and runs fine EXCEPT when I drive over 2000
    rpm's. If I accelerate slowly all is ok until I reach 60+ mph (2000 rpm).
    If I accelerate quickly it shifts gears until I hit 2000 rpm's. Both cases
    the car sputters and I have to decelerate. I thinking it is the fuel pump,
    but again the problem is only at 2000 rpm. Any ideas?

    Seems I have heard that could be the mass airflow sensor. Good Luck
    Ask NissTech or Steve with atlanta racing

    One time I drove away with my MAF unplugged and it had similar symptoms.
    But a failing MAF sensor might be different. Any CEL codes?

    Try replacing the pressurized gas cap. Get the correct one - mine said
    "pre-vented." Made my 92 SE stop all that rough running immediately. See my

    Does your CEL light up and go away properly when you start the car?

    Yes, they light up when I'm starting the car, but they go off as normal

    Jeff,
    I don't think it's the gas cap, though that's where I think the problem
    started. I filled up with gas and left the gas cap off. I rode about two
    miles and noticed the open gas compartment door. I pulled over and put the
    gas cap on while the car was running.
    I now still have the vaccum sound when I open the gas cap, but car still
    sputters at 2000 rpm's and car will not go over 60 mph. I have no warning
    lights and I still get 400 miles on a tank of gas (not leaking gas.
    Any other idea's?
