Engine Light On, Engine Cuts Out While driving, Nissan 200SX 1996

I drive a 1996 Nissan 200SX. The engine light is on and won't go off. It's NEVER done that before. The engine cuts out, while I'm driving - the air conditioner exacerbates the problem, but it's still present now even when I turn off the AC. This just started today.

Check your battery terminals, if they're corroded replace them. That did it when I was having this problem.

SOURCE: my car cuts off while driving or stopped

You will need to get the computer in car "scanned' to detect which component is faulty.

I wiould guess at an air flow sensor / temp sensor / throttle body.

Engine check light indicates a knock sensor is out, what does that mean? how serious?

You simply need to replace the knock sensor. Not hard to do or expensive. Engine will still be OK to drive.

My 97 nissan 200sx 1.6 liter. Almost stalls when i stop, but it stays runing,and some times it does stall.

We have two Nissan 200sx's, a 1995 manual and a 1996 auto. Both had this problem and both turned out to be the same thing. The "idle air control valve." It was most noticeable if you ran the air conditioner and then came up to a red light. You would have to keep pushing on the brake and race the engine a little to keep it from shutting off. Replaced that part and both cars have never had the problem again.
