SOURCE: 3ltr will run OK then cut out (no warning) will start when cool.

This problem is caused by a faulty thrust switch which is located on top of the intake manifold where the throttle linkage is located. It is a safety feature which, in case of collision, will kill the engine. This switch can short with age, and in the case of my 1989 300e, would kill the engine on left turns and approaches to a stop light. You can purchase a replacement at autohausaz.com, the part is located under "electrical" category, and itemized as "switch". The proper name is "thrust switch". It costs about $29.00 dollars and takes about ten minutes to replace.

What can cause 2000Nissan Frontier run good for 8-10miles then loss power, sputter then quit running?

Sounds like it could have a stopped up catalytic converter, on way to tell for sure is when it loses power check the exhaust coming out if there is little air flow it is stopped up and simply can't breathe,

1990 Aerostar runs and after a short time sputters and shuts off.After sitting awhile starts and does same thing again.Fuel in tank,converter changed,fuel from filter ok.What else could it be?

You would need to treat it like a no start issue when it stops running.
Check for spark at the plugs and fuel pressure at the injectors.
Could be the EEC relay or other electrical component.
