Hi folks been getting this problem right through. Its a Nissan P12 Primera wagon with a QR20 engine (cvt transmission).
Vehicle starts normal, idles normal, revs normal. However once i switch the gear to drive or low the engine instantly cuts off/or cuts off as soon as u mash gas. Car reverses normal though. Had the car scanned twice and no faults found. No check engine lights at all either.

Did all these recently when the vehicle was serviced.
Throttle body was serviced
Injectors cleaned
Coil pack tested
fuel pump working
fuel filter changed
air flow sensor changed
air filter changed

Use to give this problem before servicing, then it stopped for a few months and now its at it again.

Anyone ever had this problem and can help?

Out of curiosity, do you have an alarm/immobilizer installed? Had a similar issue and this turned out to be the problem. Had to disconnect it and problem solved, just saying.

Changed the transmission and so far no problems. Mechanic said alot of these cars get problem with the stepper motor after a while so changing the transmission was the fix.
