Why does my car keep stalling?

I have a 1985 nissan maxima which is in great condition other than the fact it all of a sudden started to stall. At first I thought it was the oil so I got it changed. Then we replaced the ignition coil and still it keeps stalling. We replaced the fuel filter even though it was getting plenty of gas. My uncle thinks it may have something to do with the security system but we don't know how to turn it off. The car manual doesn't say anything about it. Does anyone know how to turn it off? Or, does anyone have any suggestions?Why does my car keep stalling?
Check the following;

1. fuel pump might be malfunctioning

2. fuel pump relay starts to fail

3. spark plugs needs replacement

Hope this help!Why does my car keep stalling?
well when does it shut off

Ex. At idle, when you floor it., when the engines cold/hot.?Why does my car keep stalling?
yea does it stall soon as you crank it, at idle, under a load, what? it could be as simple as a vaccum leak. i would check that first. look all around the intake and see if any vaccum lines have came off.Why does my car keep stalling?
Your security system, if it has one, would keep it from starting in the first place, so I doubt that that would be a concern. If it stalls at an idle, check for vacuum leaks and the idle air control valve. if it stalls at highway speeds check electronics, like your distributor and mass air flow sensor.Why does my car keep stalling?
Definitely not the security system.



Probably just needs a tune up, or if that doesn't help, some plug wires. This year Maxima had carbs and fuel injection depending on the car you bought. If it's a carb model, it may need some work.



There are really so many things it could be, it's hard to say for sure.Why does my car keep stalling?
Air/Fuel/Spark.. your not getting one of them.

oil has nothing to do with it infact you can still start

a car with no oil.
