1991 nissan maxima the car will run fine and just cut out i also noticed the tachometer will sometimes go 4000 rpms while stepping on gas pedal but the engine is missing and bairly running also i noticed the wires that go to the cylinder temp sensor if you move them the engine will increase rpms. car will run great then start running bad

either transmission or motor--with the age cud be a # of things--start with simplest 1st--chec fluid and level in gears--then test fuel pump etc--when was last electrical tuneup--buy a repair book for maintenance details

My car runs fine but when I push the gas pedal in nutral It won't go past 2 rpms. When I drive the 2001 Maxima it gves me problems once I reach 50 mph

Sounds like a problem with the fuel injector or the sensors for the unit. This probably needs computer analysis for rectification.

I ran out of gas in my 91 maxima and it cranks but it just wont turn over and start is it the fuel pump or an electrical thing

if its a stick/manual,push start it,if its auto,crank it but dont step on the accelerator,sometimes,u can flood the engine when u put fuel in and u crank with your foot on the gas pedal.follow your air filter all the way to the carbuerator,open it and then crank,be careful,u might get a flash bang from all the air flow,good luck

Since RPM meter is also important so that you can control the engine from overspeed. It is also important to repair the thing your rpm cable maybe worn out already. If it is an electronic rpm meter cold Solder in electronic lead might be the cause.

Faulty wiring. Replace the part that does that.

Are you sure what you found is the temperature sensor? It sounds like it could be a faulty camshaft position sensor. That would explain the erratic idle and rpm spike. Will aslo cause the engine to skip because of the irregular signal being sent back to the ecm.
