Dear Robert,

Iâ€™ve noticed that my 2019 Nissan Altima sometimes hesitates and then surges when I put my foot down. I feel like this could be an issue with the spark plugs but would like to hear your opinion.

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi, Brendan!

When everything is working well in your 2019 Nissan Altima, itâ€™s engine should respond the same way all the time.

If there's a delay after you put your foot down and then all the power comes suddenly in a big surge, it could be due problems with your spark plugs.

The combination of air and gasoline in your vehicle's combustion chamber is, essentially, what keeps the engine running.

If one or more of your spark plugs isnâ€™t working properly, your Altima may need to suck in more air than usual to keep the engine running. This would cause a combined hesitation and then surge to your carâ€™s power delivery.

I canâ€™t say that this is the issue for sure without inspecting your vehicle, so I recommend that you call into our Service Department and let the Technicians have a look.

Thanks for the question, Brendan! Donâ€™t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
