02 Sentra GXE 1.8L. new problem. When I'm driving the car, the tach starts going up-down-up-down and the car tries to DIE. I have no codes, but I can't even drive 5 miles before it starts doing this. Otherwise the car runs fine, still gets 32+ MPG. I put in new plugs, coils (COP)

There are codes but you have to have the correct scanner and know how to set the ECM switch to get the data link to read out
get it to a specialist service center

You will need a new catalytic convertor assembly. Yours is below treshold efficiency in other words its "no good".If you have it replaced, ask the garage/dealer to give you the old one back. Its worth some cash if its full. It doesn't matter thet it failed. They are going after the mesh inside of it and that is worth some $$$$. May not be much , but better than nothing.
