2002 Nissan Altima choking problem	Sign In

I am having a problem with my 132k mile, 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE choking. The problem started after I had my spark plugs and air filter changed. I also had the throttle body cleaned. When I cranked the car it fell dead. I restarted the car and when I reached speed of 60 mph the car began to jerk and choke. Later that day, I tried to crank the car and the car kept choking out. I contacted Nissan and was told that my problem was the spark plugs that I used. The Nisssan rep said, I could not use Bosch Platinum 4 spark plugs. I was told that my car could only use the factory plugs NGK 4. So I returned the Bosch plugs and bought the NGK laser platinum spark plugs. This did not help my car is still jerking and choking.

Any advice on what my be the problem.

Go back and look over your work good. Check the intake snorkel carefully looking for any air leaks, cracks or possible pipes left disconnected. If your getting a check engine light, have the codes read.

I my car is now acting like its losing power when I attempt to accelerate in 1st gear. The car starts to jerk when I reach about 2500 RPM, then it will smooth out, and start back jerking at about 60+ MPH. The check engine light is on. So, I went to the Auto Parts to have them do a diagnostic.

Received Troubleshooting Codes: P 1122, P0430, P0300, P0223, P0011, P0102, P0123

Do you think the Fuel Pump is going out or maybe I need to change the Fuel Filter?

Like HT said, you are going to need to look over your work closely. With all those codes you are getting, it sounds like something got left disconnected or damaged when the plenum was off......
