I have had my Xterra for a long, long time. This problem just started today and is an odd one at that.
Lets start with the basics. 2000 Xterra, V6 4x4 5spd. 174xxx miles. RELIGIOUSLY maintained.
Coming off the highway I can press the clutch pedal to throw it in neutral and use the brakes to slow down. Well, it's been shutting off when I do this. I can watch the tach drop to 250-500 and then it shuts down. I can restart it with no problem, fires right up like nothing. Has plenty of power (for the under powered V6 that it is) Runs like a top. If i use the engine to slow the truck down, it will not happen. It has to come from a high R.P.M. like when cruising on the highway. Effin STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!!! ullout:
