2002 Nissan Sentra dies while driving and takes 20+ min before it starts again.

While driving the engine dies/stalls. rpm to 0, but radio, lights, A/c don't seem affected. It will try to start but will take 20+ minutes til it will start. I have replaced battery, cam & crank sensors, fuel pump, air filter, oil change, sprayed throttle body intake with cleaner, don't see any damaged wires, and had dealer replace and program computer/ecm. Still stalls. Why?

    After the dealer replaced the computer/ecm I drove it and it stalled. took 20 minutes before it restarted. Then I got it to my place to sit. After a couple hours I drove it again and it stalled more then 7 times. The worst it has ever been and in half the distance. I hope the dealer did their job right when they programed the new computer/ecm. It took them about 20 minutes and that has me wondering why so fast.

Check your catalytic converter. If you are over 80k miles, these devices will wear in stages. The first stage of wear is slower gear change at cruising speeds when approaching any type of incline. Second stage is the engine light will reveal a faulty oxygen sensor. Because the converter is basically a "filter" built into the exhaust system, it wears by slowly clogging, which leads to no starts, no power, and sometimes a blown head gasket. If your mechanic removed the oxygen sensor before the converter, theres a strong chance it would start right up.

What could be causing my 02 Nissan Sentra to restrict revs then stall at highway speed?

Your first order of business is to check the oil level in the crankcase, and bring it up to full level. You can probably find a replacement dip stick, or go to a junkyard and get one. Without sufficient oil in the engine, The will seize. or prematurely die.
Is your check oil light coming on? Have the car scanned for trouble codes. Auto Zone and Advance Auto will a scan. Then you will be able to get info on the codes and what they identify. Just look the codes up on an internet search.

I have a 2002 nissan sentra SE-R. when the engine is really hot, it dies in idle, the idle is 600 RPM, i guess the idle is too low. So I have to rev it when im at the stop light or double pedal if i make...

Got the same make/model/year, but haven't had that problem. Does your temperature gauge run at half or above when this happens? If so, start with a cheap fix - new thermostat.

Another thing to consider is that some of the QR25DE engines equipped in the 02 Sentra SERs has an active recall on the crank position sensor. This fault would cause the check engine light to come on and the car would stall unexpectedly. It should start back up but the frequency of this will only increase without repair.

Also, no need to change plug wires, you have coil pack ignition - there is no distributor. If a coil pack is bad, you will have constant misfire and SES light.

Nissan Sentra random stalls and wont start hot

Check out the catalytic converter, might be plugged up. I have seen some cars that will run fine, and like someone threw a switch the car acted like yours, no power, would not rev and died. Later when cold they would be OK for a while then just get worse and worse.
