ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.*MR ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND STALLED AGAIN FROM CITY SPEED TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. AFTER 2.5 HOURS OF ELECTRICAL TESTING, NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE EXISTING STALLING IS REPAIRED BY SHUTTING THE A/C OFF TO PROVIDE THE ENGINE WITH POWER. THE PREVENTION IS TO USE HIGHER OCTANE GAS, OMIT OVERDRIVE AND AVOID USING THE A/C. NISSAN ASKED THAT THE CONSUMERS WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BREAK SO THEY COULD FIND THE CAUSE. THE ENGINE ITSELF BROKE AT 59K MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SYSTEM. BUT THE 1994 MODELS THE SENSOR IS IN THE DISTRIBUTOR. *PH
