2001 Nissan maxima, it will start but after a mile or so the engine will cut off and wouldn't start up till is has cool off.

they are correct change the fuel filters

check coolant level in radiator. also check the cooling fans and make sure they are coming on when the car is hot. the a/c will not come on if the car is running hot. the computer will not turn the a/c pump on to keep engine cooler and prevent a brake down. make sure all those things are in working order.

Its can be spark plug issue or low fuel pressure issue or clogged fuel fuel filter issue or can be due to problem in ECM.There are many possibilities that can cause such problem. For proper step by step troubleshooting.Click the link below and go through troubleshooting.

it seems like its time for you to replace the catalytic converters. im guessing your check engine lite is on as well? but wut is happening is that the converters are clogged and as a result overheating and seriously restricting the amount of exhaust passing through them. your cars sensors are picking this up and as a result. limited power and speed. when you shut off your car for the 10 min, youre just letting the cats cool down and tricking the sensors into thinking the car is fixxed

It can be the alternater but at the same time the car could of jumped time on you but i would try a tune up on it first cause that is the most common problem for a car dieing out

Sounds like your solinoid is bad on your startermotor. Replace with known good starter. If you want to check it out then pull the startermotor take it to your local auto parts store and they can verify it.

probably just your fuel filter. if that doesn't do it , get back to me.

Have the tires checked for a slipped belt.

i have a 1998 nissan maxima when the engine is cold the engine will cut off when you first crank it. It will cut off but i can usually get it going the second time. After engine warms up car runs great. Why does this occur
