Q: Nissan March 14e.Starts ,shakes and stalls.I have to support it by pressing the gas. Stalls too when I brake in drive or reverse

asked by on December 26, 2016

I bought this car 3 days ago , in a yard, it's a used car from Japan .

The problem is , as I apply the brakes in drive mode or reverse, the engine stalls! That is, the engine can't continue running when brakes applied.

Later ,the car got worse , when I start it ,it starts ,shakes and dies away ! I find myself have to support it by pressing a gas pedal so that the engine not to stall ! Really confused! Could this be a terrible costly problem ?

My car has 103000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
