Lots of reasons . . . but ALL Altima's all have cam chains, no timing belt.
1. out of fuel? or fuel pump stopped?
2. is the battery dead? supposed to be over 12.3 volts with engine off, doors closed, key out. if dead is the alternator charging? bad grounds?
3. check all fuses and relays.
4. did you lose enough coolant to cause the engine to overheat enough to blow the head gasket? (Split hose, already blown head gasket, cracked radiator, cracked heater core or control valve are possible causes for coolant loss.)
5. cyl head temperature sensor failure can cause a no run, but almost no other sensor or component on the engine can cause a stall/no run condition.
6. Mis fueled? (contaminated or diesel fuel added by mistake?
7. failed ignition coil? Not common but could be. Coil is usually the last thing to suspect.
No disrespect meant for prior posters to answer.

Why does your Nissan Altima shut off while driving and while stopped?
I have a 2005 Nissan altima and it use to do that until I replaced the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, have not had that problem since. The crankshaft sensor is real easy to replace. The camshaft is a little more difficult but can be done, I would recommend you trying it yourself. The sensors I got from autozone and paid about $35 a piece and safe a lot in labor charges.

What causes a 2003 Nissan altima to stall while driving?
If it's stalling while driving, it could be the problem with either the crankshaft positioning sensor or mass air flow sensor. Check to see if you have a check engine light on. If so, you need to retrieve the code from auto parts store. Only then you will be able to find out the actual problem.
