To what degree do you lose power and in what way? Do you loose over-drive or does it loose power and speed (on the streets, highway, or at any speed). From your discription it does sound like either a fuel flow/pressure issue or a clogged cat.

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING,EVERYTHING IS OK BUT AFTER MAYBE 4 OR 5 TIMES OF SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE, NEXT TIME TO TURN KEY TO START ENGINE TURNS BUT FUEL IS SHUT OF. PASS LOCK OPERATES. WE THEN...

The most common reason for this condition is a faulty ignition switch. It loses contact momentarily while cranking, causing a voltage loss to the security system and starts the 10 minute security timer in the computer. It will not start until the timer runs out. Usually the key has to be left on after a start attempt for the ten minutes. Some cars require 30 minutes. I hope this helps you and please rate this,

1996 NISSAN MAXIMA SHUTS DOWN FOR 1 FULL SECOND!!!

It sounds like your car has an intermittent open current feed problem. Has there been any electrical/component repair or replacement recently? If so, that would be a starting point for diagnosis. Sounds like an ignition switch type problem. If you had an intermittent battery connection, the car would continue to run from the alternator output, but would not cause the warning lights to go through their initial "bulb check" sequence. But if "on" voltage is lost at the ignition switch, or that circuit, it would.
