In reply to Nene. An oil change should not affect power output.

In reply to Shane Shirey. A bad alternator wouldn't necessarily drain the battery. The battery would keep the vehicle running while the battery had power. Since nothing is charging the battery, the vehicle will die when the battery voltage drops too low to fire the spark plugs and run the ECU.

In reply to Jame Huynh. An altenator thats bad wouldnt allow you to just stop and turn off the car and crank it back up if the altenator were bad it would drain the power in the battery till its completely draines of power. The altenator is meant to recharge the battery if it isnt working like it should it will damage the cell in your battery after charging in over and over. So if you feel your having and altenator problem and want to save money grab a multimeter and go put the black to ground on battery and red to positive side of altenator and see if it has 12 volts or better going to it. Or just have it tested at your local parts dealer. You can pull it off if not able to move the vehicle and take it to them to test it. Easier that way because they require the core in exchange so if not good you already have it off the car and ready for the new one to install. Keeps from making 2 unnecessary trips

In reply to Fahad. My car is doing this exact same thing! I had it at a mechanic and they couldn’t find what was wrong with it, did you get your issue fixed? If so what was it?!

In reply to Chris. If it's a fuel restriction, the issue should get worse as you give it more gas. It could be a transmission issue, where something in the transmission is causing the vehicle to struggle while accelerating.

Hi, I have an 02 Nissan Pathfinder. In park or neutral I get the appropriate revs when I press the accelerator. But all that disappears once I put it in drive.
Struggles to climb uphill or rev enough to go into 2nd gear. 2nd gear and more are slightly better but that delay or lack of power is still there.

Could it be the fuel filter or something else?

In reply to Linda faulk. Perhaps the accelerator pedal assembly is bent, or there is an obstruction that is preventing you from pushing the gas pedal or opening the throttle all the way.
