My automatic Nissan Sentra keeps shutting off while I'm driving.It loses all power. I always have gas and my liquids are good. Is there anything I can do?
It could be your cam sensor or air filter sensor. My niece had the same problem until the nissan mechanic diagnosed the problem. That was the problem

I had similar problems after getting my ECU replaced.
later i got a letter from nissan saying it was the wrong program they flashed on the ECU (think it was a maxima ECU they flashed into my sentra)
it only seemed to do it right after my car warmed up while i was slowing down (for a stop) but never cut out when i was at a complete stop.
you can call nissan to see if there are any recalls or updates for your ECU program (they should be free if there is)
if that does not work, or it cuts off while accelerating, try checking your fuel/air ratio, spark plugs, air filter, and fuel injectors. (a fuel filter can even cause cut-outs as well if it's seriously clogged, but it's usually hard to start as well)

kinda sounds like heat problems, check to make sure your temp gauge is working and see if this helps...
- when it cuts out on you, turn key all the way off, then turn it back to full on (but don't crank) this should let you rad. fan run without cranking your car. if this causes the wait time to be shorter before you can crank it again (less than an hour) then it's most likely a temp gauge, water pump, hose or even a belt.

Samething, just shuts off while driving, doent matter what speed, have to wait up to have an hour to start it back up.
my nisson sentra keeps shutting off while driving or slowing up now it's cutting out I have paid over 600 getting this and that changed at the mechanics turns out he and several of his other mechanic frineds cannot figure it out either I looked it up and it appears there is a recall for this problem
