Nissan Altima Forum : “Car jerks while driving”

what code is it throwing?

not sure about the code.  i took it to auto zone and the code they said it gave them was for the crankshaft positioning sensor.

I ended up taking it to the dealership.  its the crankshaft sensor.  I started doing a little research and it seems that a lot of people are having issues with this sensor.  Its even caused some cars to just stop while driving.  The sad part is that most of the stories i read resulted in having to keep taking the car back to the shop for the same part.  Its obviously a defective item but no recall.  If anyone hears of a recall let me know.  

My roomate mustang was popping up with this code and I told him to check the alternato to see if it was good. So we took it off and it came bad so we change the alt and it fixed the light the hesitation so check you alt and there go from there....

I know it doesn't make sense but it has to do with the electrical power source.
