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 right turn, or if it dies i have to bump start it, i don't wanna ruin my transmission. im thinking about changing the spark plug and the spark plug wire and adjust the idle a little bit higher. any concern about my car issue, please let me know.

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.
