I have an 03 3.3l 4X4 auto with 197K miles. Had it less than 2 weeks so I'm not too familiar with it or Xterra in general. It had a P0328 code, P0102 code and a P0455 code when I got it. Plan to work on those but haven't had time yet. The truck has had no issues as far as running and performance yet.......
I drove it today. No issue for about 15 minutes. Then all of a sudden at 60 mph it abruptly started massively cutting out and shaking. Very hard to describe. I pulled over and checked everything to no avail. Pulled back out and noticed a slight difference in power but not too bad. MPH held on slight hills until it hit 60 again and the same thing happened. This time I just let off and it stopped. Now this was not tire or suspension related. Felt like it was generatining from the passenger side of the engine compartment. As long as I stayed under 60 I was ok but there was a power loss. No way I could have passed anyone. Once I got in stop and go traffic it started to stall at idle. Had to re crank multiple times. If I was gentle with the accelerator it would do ok leaving a red light but if I got on it a little it would start stalling out. Does not feel electrical. Stopped at Oriellys and had the codes checked. Same 3 codes as before but now a P0420 TW Catalyst/system B1 code. Made it home with it with no real issues but performance is shot. About to go an do the Mass Air Flow cleaning and the Air Intake Mods while I have it torn down.
Any ideas on the issue?
Thanks in advance
