2 things i could check on. Battery terminals, make sure its all tight, and nothing is corroded. The other thing is if the car starts then just dies, it might be because of the maf.

i don't think it's a battery unless the gauges in your dash were flickering when you slammed on the brakes. Might be a fuel issue...

Yea i am, surprising? So is your car stuck at the mall? Was there any problem before that incident? How have a fellow member come and check it out for you?

Listen to the other folks, also check your spark plugs. On my sentra I had an issue with the rpm's dropping. Changed out the plugs....no more RPM drop.

Also, and this is just a guess, I think the bad grammar might have killed your car too; cuz we all no dat shiz iz wack

OMG I'm 19 too!! ....


Anyway, your day could've been much worse. At least you didn't wreck your car. Sounds like an easy fix. I'm surprised you get a lot of comments on your car, not "dissing" it or anything but it looks just stock. Are there not a lot in your area? Over here they're a dime dozen..
