Hey everyone my mom just got back from picking
up my little sister from the airport. On the way up
the hills by my house my mom said her car slowed
down, had a hideous smell and said the rpms were
doing something funky. If anyone has any
information it would be greatly appreciated

2009 Sentra: I had the same problem as many Sentra owners had. Started car and when put in drive or reverse it would spit and sputter and eventually stall. This got worse over about a six month time period. Changed all kind of things. Eventually found the 4 inch plastic intake hose near the MAF sensor had two splits in it. I couldn't see them until I physically moved it. Everytime the engine would torque in either direction they would open up and the car would run extremely rough or stall. replaced the intake hose and car runs like new! Hope this helps some one.
