2008-2014 Nissan Maxima: Possible reasons my car will not go forward or backwards

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 05:10:10 -0700

I have a 2010 nissan maxima the other day it started running really rough and through the following check engine codes:

P0014, P0024, P0171

I was able to resolve the P0171 by cleaning the Mass Air Flow sensor with the appropriate cleaner. After doing so it ran better but was still running rough however i tried to make it home (8 miles). I was 2 miles away and when accelerating from a stop sign the car totally gave up and rolled into the shoulder. It was at this point i called tow truck. While waiting for the tow truck my car battery died and lights were flashing on and off over and over. I was now thinking maybe the problem is the battery. Today i replaced the battery went to test it out and the car wouldn't accelerate. I am left scratching my head.

the car starts right up.
In park the engine revs rpms respond
when attempting to drive rpm does not go past 3000 +/-
When going in forward/reverse it moves a little but no force the slightest hill it cannot defeat.

2008-2014 Nissan Maxima: OBD giving 1778 engine light code

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 21:55:26 -0700

My car is accelerating slow after coming to stops. The engine light is giving me a 1778 code and after some research I learned that I needed to replace the stepper motor. After replacing the stepper my issues were still there. I tried replacing the Mass air flow sensor and the problem is still there as well. What else could I try?
